Tennessee Titans Rule Out Two Players

The Tennessee Titans may actually be the healthier team going into Sunday’s matchup with the Carolina Panthers and it is reflected on the final injury report released by both teams on Friday.

The Tennessee Titans have been dealing with injuries throughout the season and while things aren’t perfect, they certainly will be the healthier team when they play this weekend and you haven’t been able to say that often this year.

Two players were ruled out by the Titans on Friday and that is wide receiver Treylon Burks, who will miss his third-straight game with a concussion, and offensive lineman Chris Hubbard, who suffered a biceps injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Titans will have only two players listed as questionable going into Sunday’s game as well in linebacker Luke Gifford and safety Terrell Edmunds. Gifford is a vital contributor on special teams and Edmunds has gotten significant snaps on defense since being acquired in the Kevin Byard trade.

If Edmunds sits out, it will be important that safety K’Von Wallace, who left last week’s game with injury, was a full participant to end the week and should be in line to play against the Panthers.

Despite some unfounded early-week concern, quarterback Will Levis was a full participant in every practice session this week after missing a Tuesday walkthrough. Ryan Tannehill looks to continue to have improved health as well and will serve as the backup.

On the Carolina side, three players have been ruled out in tight end Hayden Hurst, safety Jeremy Chinn, edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos. Two more listed as doubtful to play in cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and  C.J. Henderson while three are listed as questionable in safety Sam Franklin, linebackers Marquis Haynes and Frankie Luvu.

A long list for Carolina with multiple key players. This is after starting guard Austin Corbett was ruled out for the season earlier in the week. Again, it is not something they are used to, but the Titans are the healthier team going into the week. Combine that with being at home and the Titans should certainly expect to win.
