The shoulder injury that Titans wide receiver Nate Washington suffered in Sunday's loss to Houston will likely keep him out of this week's two practices. But Titans coach Ken Whisehunt expects Washington back against Baltimore on Nov. 9.

Titans wide receiver Nate Washington (85) dives for extra yards after a catch over Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph (24) during the third quarter at LP Field Sunday Oct. 26, 2014, in Nashville, Tenn.

Defensive lineman Sammie Hill will also likely be held out of practice this week because of an elbow injury.

Whisenhunt expects tight end Taylor Thompson and Coty Sensabaugh to return to practice this week. Thompson has missed the last five games with a knee injury and Sensabaugh the last three with a knee injury.
