Amani Hooker gave an update on his health along with the Tennessee Titans’ plans for stopping Joe Burrow heading into the Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The former Iowa safety has been dealing with a shoulder injury, but he played last Thursday and believes he will be good to go again this week.

“I’m feeling good, I’ll be out there today,” Hooker said. “The Thursday game helped me recover a little bit more, so feels good get back out there.”

Hooker and the Titans defense will have their hands full as they try and contain quarterback Joe Burrow.

“He’s a great quarterback, he’s accurate and can make all the throws,” Hooker said. “Last year we sacked him nine times and he just kept getting back up, so this year we just gotta make sure we stay on him.”

The Titans are looking to extend their win streak to three games as they have a rematch with the team that eliminated them from the playoffs a season ago. The Titans and Bengals kickoff Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
