McNichols will be a big part of the pivot the Titans need to make: To the passing game. He has three times as many catches (21) as carries (seven) this season. 1 status on the depth chart until Peterson is ready to go is Jeremy McNichols, a career third-down back with 33 lifetime receptions compared to 56 rushes.
