Stevens picked up a one-yard reception while seeing two targets in Sunday's loss to Buffalo. |

Stevens caught both of his targets for 29 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts. |

Stevens caught one pass for 13 yards Sunday against the Browns. |
Stevens is buried deep down the tight end depth chart, but he moved up a spot with Delanie Walker (hand) missing the contest due to injury.

Craig Stevens caught five passes for 63 yards in relief of Jared Cook (shoulder) Sunday. |

Titans re-signed TE Craig Stevens to a four-year contract. |
The blocking complement to Jared Cook, Stevens hauled in nine passes for 166 yards and a touchdown in 2011, starting 11 of his 15 appearances.
