Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, but the veteran signal-caller is reportedly expected to play in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos.

The news comes from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero and was also reported by ESPN.

The Titans decided not to elevate quarterback Logan Woodside from the practice squad, which signaled that Tannehill's return was imminent.

Tennessee's passing attack, which was struggling with Tannehill in the lineup, was even worse without him. Backup Malik Willis went 11-of-26 for 135 yards and one interception in his two starts while Tannehill was away.

What isn't clear is how healthy Tannehill is exactly. He did admit he'd be dealing with pain in his ankle for awhile, but how much that limits him moving forward remains to be seen.

Tannehill will also get a significant reinforcement in the receiving corps., as rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks has been activated from injured reserve and will play against the Broncos.
