Greene (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, according to Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
Greene has indicated that he hopes return to practice next week, a scenario that puts fellow RB Bishop Sankey on track to head the Titans' Week 7 backfield.

Greene (hamstring) indicated that he hopes to return to practice next week, according to John Glennon of the Tennessean.
While Green, who did not practice Wednesday, hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington at this stage, based on Glennon's report, the running back appears to be targeting a return to action in Week 8 against the Texans. We'll let you know of that assessment changes as the week progresses.
Wed Oct 15 201414:53Greene (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday
Greene (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
Greene's status for Sunday's game against Washington is cloudy at this stage, and if he is unable to return to action this weekend, Bishop Sankey (18 carries for 61 yards in Week 6) would once again be in line to head the Titans' backfield in Week 7.
Sun Oct 12 201411:37Greene (hamstring) inactive for Sunday's game against Jaguars
Greene (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Greene came into Sunday listed as doubtful after putting in a limited practice Wednesday before being held out Thursday and Friday. Bishop Sankey figures to get a majority of the workload in Greene place, with Dexter McCluster and possibly Leon Washington also getting a few touches.

The Titans do not plan on having Greene (hamstring) available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
We'll confirm Greene's status as Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff approaches, but given that he was listed as doubtful by the Titans in advance of the contest, it looks like he will sit, with Bishop Sankey likely on track to see a bump in carries, and Dexter McCluster, as well as Leon Washington, on hand to work in change-of-pace roles.
Fri Oct 10 201413:44Greene (hamstring) did not practice Friday
Greene (hamstring) did not practice Friday, and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.
With Greene almost assuredly out Sunday, opportunity knocks for fellow RBs Bishop Sankey and Dexter McCluster, with Leon Washington also on hand in a reserve role.
Thu Oct 9 201415:20Greene (hamstring) did not practice Thursday
Greene (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports.
Greene hurt his hamstring during Wednesday's practice, and at this stage he's looking iffy for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. For his part, Greene relayed Thursday that he has endured minor hamstring strains in the past, "but not as bad as I did yesterday." If he is unable to play Sunday, then rookie Bishop Sankey would be in line for an expanded workload in Week 6.
Wed Oct 8 201415:13Greene (leg) limited at practice Wednesday
Greene (leg) was limited at practice Wednesday, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports.
More on Greene's status in the coming days, but after recording 71 rushing yards in Week 1, he has recorded a modest total of 119 rushing yards in four games since then, plus he has yet to catch a pass thus far.

Greene had 11 carries for 36 yards and failed to catch both of the passes thrown to him during Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Browns.
While Greene finished with three more carries and nine more rushing yards than backup Bishop Sankey, he's now posted a 3.3 YPC average in three straight games, while failing to rush for more than 40 yards in four straight. The upside just isn't there and many are left scratching their heads as to why Greene continues to get more touches than the rookie. If there's a silver-lining, it's that Greene's fantasy owners can look forward to a decent matchup in Week 6 against a Jaguars defense that is one of the worst in the NFL against the run and the pass.
Sun Sep 28 201421:01Greene had three carries for 10 yards Sunday against Colts
Greene had three carries for 10 yards Sunday against the Colts.
The Titans' offense really struggled to move the ball Sunday, and it should be noted that backup running back Bishop Sankey finished with 34 rushing yards and a touchdown on six carries, while also catching two passes for 23 yards. Greene has seen a very inconsistent number of targets through the first four games of the season, but after Sunday's performance, it wouldn't be surprising if the rookie Sankey started getting a bigger piece of the pie.
Sun Sep 21 201422:04Greene had 10 carries for 33 yards and touchdown Sunday against ...
Greene had 10 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Bengals.
Rookie Bishop Sankey also got 10 carries in the game and turned them into 61 yards, but Greene ultimately got the goal-line carry late in the game to make it 33-7. The Titans continue to say they'll play the hot hand between Greene, Sankey and Dexter McCluster (one carry for zero yards), which certainly limits their respective upsides.

Greene had just five carries for 40 yards in Sunday's 26-10 loss to Dallas.
Greene got very little opportunities because the Cowboys controlled the ball for over 41 minutes. Rookie Bishop Sankey was a non-factor, rushing for just three yards on two carries. It looks like Greene will remain the starter, with Dexter McCluster mixed in as the change-of-pace back.
Sun Sep 7 201421:55Greene had 15 carries for 71 yards Sunday against Chiefs
Greene had 15 carries for 71 yards Sunday against the Chiefs.
Greene started the game and finished with more than double the carries as rookie Bishop Sankey, who many expect to take over the top spot on the depth chart at some point this season. Interestingly enough, Dexter McCluster had nine carries, which was also more than Sankey. While it's not an equal committee, Greene isn't expected to get a large majority of the touches out of the backfield, which limits his fantasy upside.
Wed Sep 3 201420:39Greene remains atop Titans' running back depth chart in advance ...
Greene remains atop the Titans' running back depth chart in advance of Week 1, the team's official site reports.
Rookie Bishop Sankey is listed as the team's No. 2 back, with Dexter McCluster (in the No. 3 slot) set to work in a change-of-pace role. Though Greene maintains his standing as the Titans' starter for now, per the team's posted depth chart, Sankey figures to see his share of carries out of the gate as well, and it's not hard to imagine his role expanding (at Greene's expense) as the season progresses.

Greene (knee) gained 15 yards on six carries in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons.
Greene did nothing against a weak Atlanta defense, but the bigger story was Bishop Sankey's complete lack of involvement with the first-team offense. Dexter McCluster worked ahead of Sankey, and Leon Washington got some snaps as a third-down back. Of course, neither McCluster nor Washington is a threat to handle anything close to an every-down role, meaning Sankey still looms as the primary threat to Greene's value. Greene's lack of quickness and receiving ability puts a pretty low cap on his ceiling, while Sankey's presence means the veteran also has a low floor. According to The Tennessean, the Titans are happy with Sankey's running and receiving, but worried about the rookie's propensity for fumbling in practice. Greene will very likely enter Week 1 as the starter, but his job security is poor.
Mon Aug 18 201413:44Greene (knee) practiced Monday
Greene (knee) practiced Monday, The Tennessean reports.
Greene left Friday's preseason contest after slightly injuring his right knee, which he underwent surgery on this offseason. However, judging by Greene's comments since the game, coupled with his participation in Monday's practice, the veteran running back appears to be fine health-wise. Nonetheless, with rookie Bishop Sankey around and Dexter McCluster also expected to receive touches out of the backfield, Greene's role should remain limited to mostly short-yard work.
Sat Aug 16 201402:34Shonn Greene: Suffers Hyperextended Knee
Greene said after Friday's preseason game that he hyperextended his right knee, adding that he expects to be okay, the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.
Though he expects to be okay, Greene did injure the same knee that he had surgery on during the offseason. His reaction to the injury indicated that it wasn't all that serious, but the context is cause for added concern. The plodding veteran is trying to hold off rookie Bishop Sankey, who already figures to handle a good portion of the work on passing downs.
Fri Aug 15 201423:25Shonn Greene: Suffers Apparent Right Knee Injury
Greene (leg), who underwent surgery on his right knee during the offseason, was applying ice to that knee after being removed from Friday's preseason game, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
Greene walked off the field under his own power, and then stuck around on the sidelines, indicating that the injury isn't too serious. Still, he figures to face heat from Bishop Sankey, and it won't help the veteran's cause if his knee is a lingering issue.
Fri Aug 15 201421:28Shonn Greene: Early Exit Friday
Greene left Friday's preseason game against the Saints with an apparent right leg injury, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Greene fumbled after a shot from safety Kenny Vaccaro and stayed down for a bit initially, but he eventually walked off the field under his own power. The 28-year-old had his right knee operated on in the offseason. Prior to exiting, Greene carried the ball nine times for 51 yards (5.7 YPC).

Greene (knee) had four carries for 20 yards and a touchdown in Tennessee's preseason opener against Green Bay on Saturday.
Greene, who's still working his way back to full strength following offseason knee surgery, saved his best attempt for last, finding a seam and scampering 13 yards untouched for the score. Despite the encouraging performance, it's hard to get too excited about Greene's fantasy prospects this season due to the presence of talented rookie Bishop Sankey, as well as the arrival of Dexter McCluster.
