Titans' DeAndre Hopkins sidelined with knee injury, expected to miss several weeks.

Why it matters: The absence of Hopkins, the team's leading receiver last season, will have a significant impact on the Titans' passing game and offensive production.

What's new: Head coach Brian Callahan confirmed that Hopkins will be out for several weeks due to a knee injury. However, the injury does not require surgery, and the team is hopeful for his return before the season opener.

Yes, but: Losing Hopkins for an extended period will test the depth and versatility of the Titans' receiving corps and put more pressure on other receivers to step up.

What to watch: Keep an eye on third-year receiver Treylon Burks, who will be the primary replacement during Hopkins' absence. This presents an opportunity for Burks to showcase his skills and make a case for a larger role in the offense.

• Treylon Burks on DeAndre Hopkins: "It sucks because I look up to Hop [DeAndre Hopkins] a lot. He just told me to go out and take care of business."

What's next: The Titans will need to adjust their game plan and find ways to compensate for the loss of Hopkins' playmaking ability. They will rely on their coaching staff and other receivers to fill the void until Hopkins returns.

The bottom line: While the Titans are optimistic about Hopkins' eventual return, they must navigate a significant portion of the preseason and potentially the beginning of the regular season without their star wide receiver. The team will need to rally together and find alternative sources of production in his absence.
