Despite trying hard, the Tennessee Titans are at No. 4 among the four teams in the AFC South after their Sunday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Apart from losing the game, they also lost their quarterback Ryan Tannehill during the game to a horrific injury.
His injury unfolded an uphill battle for the Titans after he left the field on Sunday before being replaced by Malik Wills. Regretfully, worries have been heightened more by a recent report about his game status for their upcoming clash.
Tannehill’s availability in doubt as Titans navigate QB uncertainty
The Titans, who are working towards a refurbished $2.1 bn stadium, will have a bye week following their Week 6 loss. Thankfully, Ryan Tannehill’s injury coincided with the team’s bye week, despite reports that it was somewhat serious.
Nevertheless, regardless of this edge, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler disclosed something that alarmed the fans. The ESPN reporter revealed that sources informed both him and Turron Davenport that the quarterback might miss the Titans’ next game in Week 8, which will see Tennessee visit the Atlanta Falcons following their bye week.
The dual-threat quarterback has completed 62% of his passes for 1,128 yards this season, with two touchdowns and six interceptions. Furthermore, Wills, who was his backup, concluded the Week 6 game with a 4-5 performance, 74 yards, and no touchdowns.
What is Titans’ QB Ryan Tannehill’s injury?
After suffering a high right ankle sprain, Ryan Tannehill was substituted out during the third quarter. The 35-year-old was eventually wheeled off the ground and vanished from sight.
The Titans’ head coach, Mike Vrabel, wasn’t prepared to speculate about Tannehill’s availability during his press conference on Monday, despite the fact that Flower’s prognosis was sufficient to rattle the supporters.
Instead, he offered a glimmer of hope for Ryan Tannehill’s comeback by reminding everyone present of their bye week and informing them that they would ultimately decide on the quarterback’s availability following their return from the bye week, as per ESPN.
“Ryan will get treatment around the clock. This will be a big week to see how he progresses and then we’ll make a decision on his availability next week.”
However, the Tennessee Titans’ passing attack has already put them in hot water. The squad’s passing average per contest is only 173.2 yards. Among NFL averages, it ranks fourth worst.
In addition, through six games, their top quarterback has been sacked 19 times, which is the fourth-highest total among quarterbacks. His questionable game status for their encounter with the Falcons put them in an even worse scenario amidst these trying circumstances.
