Titans' Luke Gifford: Eight tackles in Week 17
Gifford finished Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars with eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defense.
Gifford was sidelined for the Titans' Week 16 loss to the Colts due to a concussion, but he was able to clear the league's five-step protocols ahead of Sunday's contest. He played every single defensive snap and finished as the Titans' co-leader in tackles with Mike Brown. Gifford has started at inside linebacker in each of his last three games and has accumulated 27 tackles (18 solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception) over that span. The 29-year-old will look to finish the season off strong against the Texans next Sunday.

Titans' Luke Gifford: Set to return in Week 17
Gifford (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup versus Jacksonville, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Gifford suffered a concussion Week 15 against Cincinnati and didn't play last Sunday versus Indianapolis. However, he was listed as a full participant in practice throughout the week and appears to have cleared the NFL's concussion protocol given his lack of an injury designation heading into the weekend. Gifford played exclusively on special teams over Tennessee's first 11 games of the campaign, but he had taken on an increased role -- including logging all 58 of the team's defensive snaps Week 14 against Jacksonville -- after Jack Gibbens (ankle) landed on IR in late November and Jerome Baker suffered a neck injury in early December.

However, he'll get a big opportunity to show off his skill set Sunday.
