Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith doesn't carry an injury designation heading into the team's Week 16 matchup and will play against the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Smith hasn't played in the last two games due to a groin injury. The 33-year-old was active for the second of those contests but didn't play.

Drew Lock has started in place of Smith, throwing for a combined 477 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers and a win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Seahawks hold a 7-7 record and are currently the NFC's No. 8 seed, just outside of the playoff picture entering the weekend.

Smith returns against a Titans defense that's allowing 339.3 total yards of offense and 21.5 points per game. Those marks rank 19th and 18th in the league, respectively.

The West Virginia product has thrown for 2,918 yards, 15 touchdowns, and nine interceptions while completing 64.4% of his passes in 12 starts.
