Falcons' Cameron Batson: Joins Falcons
Rotowire
Batson (knee) signed with Atlanta on Wednesday just seven months after undergoing season-ending ACL surgery in October, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Batson recorded two catches for 15 yards and one touchdown over four games before being placed on the Titans' injured reserve in mid-October. The 5-foot-8 wideout will reunite with former offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who is entering his second season as Atlanta's head coach. Batson totaled 12 receptions for 100 yards and one touchdown over 12 games with Tennessee in 2020 and should provide additional veteran depth to the Falcons' receiving corps. It's not yet clear if Batson is back to 100 percent following surgery, but he should be ready to go for the start of the 2022 campaign.

Rotowire
Batson (knee) sustained a season-ending torn right ACL during Monday's win over the Bills, NFL writer Paul Kuharsky reports.

Titans' Cameron Batson: Ruled out with knee injury
Rotowire
Batson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Bills due to a right knee injury, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Batson appeared to suffer a non-contact injury near the end of the first half, and he was unable to put any pressure on his right leg on his way off the field. Marcus Johnson appears to be the replacement as the team's kick returner, at least to start the second half.

Titans' Cameron Batson: Scores clutch touchdown
Rotowire
Batson recorded one reception on four targets for two yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Jets.
Batson was on the field for 25 percent of the team's offensive snaps due to the absence of both A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring). He still was limited to a peripheral role in the offense, finishing sixth on the team in targets. However, Batson did make his lone reception count by finding the end zone with 16 seconds left in the contest to tie the game at 24. Batson could continue to rotate into the game if both Brown and Jones remain sidelined, but he will struggle for any type of role if either return.

Titans' Cameron Batson: Hauls in touchdown
Rotowire
Batson recorded one reception on two targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' first preseason game against the Falcons on Friday.
Batson served as a starting receiver in the game with most of the Titans' receiving corps sidelined. He made his lone catch of the contest count, hauling in a back-shoulder throw from Logan Woodside for a 15-yard touchdown. Batson's cleanest path to a roster spot may be as a return specialist, as the depth chart at wide receiver has gotten more crowded due to the additions of Julio Jones, Josh Reynolds, Marcus Johnson, Dez Fitzpatrick and Racey McMath this offseason.

Titans' Cameron Batson: Catchless in Week 17
Rotowire
Batson did not command a target in Week 17 against the Texans. For the season, Batson recorded 12 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Batson often filled the third receiver role for the Titans, particularly in the absence of Adam Humphries (concussion). That didn't translate to big statistical production, as A.J. Brown and Corey Davis commanded an overwhelming majority of the targets in the offense. However, Batson saw logged 283 offensive snaps -- over 100 more than his rookie season -- despite playing in only 12 games. He will remain under contract with the Titans in 2021, but he'll first look to make an impact in their wild-card matchup with the Ravens.

Rotowire
Batson brought in his only target for 12 yards in Week 16 against the Packers.

Titans' Cameron Batson: Gets involved against Baltimore
Rotowire
Batson brought in both targets for 21 yards in Week 11 against Baltimore. He also had one rush attempt for four yards.
Batson was only on the field for 18 offensive snaps but recorded multiple receptions for the second consecutive week. His longest gain went for 14 yards, which helped keep alive the Titans' first offensive possession that ended with a touchdown. Batson also took a direct snap from the five-yard line and was taken down just short of the goal line. If Adam Humphries (concussion) remains sidelined for a Week 12 matchup against the Colts, Batson should continue to see an increased role in the offense.

Titans' Cameron Batson: Receives promotion
Rotowire
The Titans signed Batson to the 53-man roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Batson has suited up in three games for the Titans this season, and he logged at least 27 percent of the offensive workload each time. That didn't translate to much production, as he caught just three passes for 39 yards in that stretch. He should handle a similar snap share Sunday against the Bears, as he'll be the No. 5 wide receiver following news that Adam Humphries (concussion) has been ruled out.

Cameron Batson: Back to practice squad
Rotowire
Batson reverted to the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
The 24-year-old was elevated from the practice squad as an extra player for Sunday's win over the Texans, but he returns to the practice squad after catching his lone target for 13 yards on 20 offensive snaps. Batson has three catches for 39 yards in three games this season and, even if he rejoins the active roster, he's unlikely to be a significant factor in the passing game.

Rotowire
Batson reverted back to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Batson spent the entire 2019 campaign on injured reserve due to an undisclosed issue he suffered last July, but the team's decision to re-sign him implies that he's now back to full health.
