Titans lose starters Lloyd Cushenberry III and Quandre Diggs for the season due to injuries.
Why it matters: The absence of Cushenberry and Diggs will significantly impact the Titans' offensive line and secondary, potentially affecting their overall performance and defensive stability.
Cushenberry's torn Achilles:
- Cushenberry suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's game against the Patriots.
- He will likely be placed on injured reserve, ending his season prematurely.
- Corey Levin stepped in as his replacement during the game and may start at center if right guard Dillon Radunz is unable to play.
Diggs' foot injury:
- Diggs injured his foot while making a tackle in the second quarter against the Patriots.
- Like Cushenberry, he is expected to be placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
- Veteran safety Mike Brown filled in for Diggs during the game and will start at safety in the upcoming game against the Chargers.
What to watch: The Titans will need to make adjustments to compensate for the absence of Cushenberry and Diggs, ensuring that their replacements are ready to step up and maintain the team's performance level.
- Brian Callahan on Corey Levin: "Levin would be the starter at center if right guard Dillon Radunz is unable to play this week against the Los Angeles Chargers."
- Brian Callahan on Mike Brown: "He was prepared, knew what to do and went out and performed well."
Yes, but: The loss of two key starters poses significant challenges for the Titans as they try to maintain their momentum and compete at a high level.
The bottom line: Cushenberry and Diggs' injuries require the Titans to rely on their depth and adapt quickly to ensure the team's continued success. The performance of Corey Levin and Mike Brown will be crucial in maintaining stability and effectiveness in their respective positions.
