[CloakNNNdagger]

THE TITANS MAY HAVE BENEFITED AGAINST THE BILLS BY THEIR LONG COVID "REST'' PERIOD............BUT APPEAR TO HAVE PAID FOR IT.



WR A.J. BROWN [KNEE].................SUFFERED A KNEE INJURYY IN WEEK 1...............THE INJURY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A BONE BRUISE..................HE MISSED WEEK 2 AND 3.................CAME BACK AFTER THE LONG REST.................KEEP IN MIND THAT A BONE BRUISE WILL TYPICALLY TAKE 2-4 MONTHS TO HEAL............MEANWHILE RE-INJURY RISK INCREASED.

DE/OLB JADEVEON CLOWNEY [KNEE]............HAS BEEN DEALING WITH A RIGHT KNEE PROBLEM (MICROFRACTURE KNEE) SINCE NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON AND WAS ON THE WEEK 5 INJURY RPORT FOR THAT KNEE AFTER A WEEK 3 EXTENDED INJURY.................HE IS NOT ONLY DEALING WITH THAT KNEE NOW, BUT IS ON THE INJURY REPORT NOW FOR HIS OTHER KNEE SUSTAINED YESTERDAY.....................HE CAME OUT OF WEEK 1 WITH A HIP INJURY (IF YOU REMEMBER THE RELATIONSHIP OF HIP DEFORMITY AND HIS 3 "SPORTS HERNIAS").

LB NICK DZUBNAR [SHOULDER]..............NEW.............SHOULDER SUBLUXATION.............DEPENDING ON HOW HE PROGRESSES, HE COULD PLAY WITH A HARNESS..............IF HE DOES NOT UPGRADE THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK, HE WILL BE QUESTIONABLE AT BEST.

RB DARRYNTON EVANS [HAMSTRING]............... "NEW".............SUFFERED A HAMSTRING INJURY ORIGINALLY DURING FIRST PRACTICE OF WEEK 1 AND MISSED WEEK 1 AND 2....................CAME BACK WEEK 3................HAD A LONG REST TILL THE WEEK 5 GAME IN WHICH HE WAS RE-INJURED HIS HAMSTRING...............HE SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING SUNDAY.

DB CHRIS JACKSON [HAMSTRING]...............SUSTAINED WEEK 2................MISSED WEEK 3..................RETURNED LAST GAME AFTER A LONG REST.

DL DAQUAN JONES [FOOT]..............NEW..............ANY FOOT INJURY IN A LINEMAN MAKES FOR AT LEAST A QUESTIONABLE STATUS, ESPECIALLY IN A SHORT WEEK.

CB JONATHAN JOSEPH [HAMSTRING]...............NEW............GRADE II TEAR...............DON'T EXPECT HIM TO PLAY SUNDAY..............JOSEPH IS NO STRANGER TO HAMSTRING ISSUES...........BASICALLY AFFECTED WITH THIS TYPE OF INJURY THE ENTIRE 2ND HALF OF LAST SEASON, MISSING 4 GAMES.

OT DENNIS KELLY [GROIN]..................NEW.............ADDUCTOR TEAR...............MAY BE BEGINNING OF "SPORTS HERNIA"..............ALREADY HAS A HISTORY OF ANOTHER CORE WEAKENING INJURY..........LUMBAR BACK SURGERY IN 2013..................WILL LIKELY BE QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY, ALTHOUGH WOULD NOT BE SURPRISING FOR HIM TO TRY TO PLAY THROUGH THE INJURY.

OT TAYLOR LEWAN [SHOULDER].............WEEK 3, WAS CARTED OFF THE FIELD WITH A SHOULDER DISLOCATION, DID NOT RETURN...............AFTER A LONG REST, IN HIS LAST GAME, HE AGAIN DISLOCATED HIS SHOULDER.................SINCE 2015, HE HAS HAD MULTIPLE SHOULDER DISLOCATIONS, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A GAME..............SHOULDER SURGERY HAS BEEN ENTERTAINED SINCE 2015 AND LEWAN HAS OPTED TO KEEP ON GOING THE REHAB ROUTE..............THIS WILL END EVENTUALLY AS HE BECOMES MORE DEBILITATED EVEN WITH THE SHOULDER HARNESS...................HE WILL BE QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY.

RB JEREMY MCNICHOLS [RIBS]...............NEW................WILL BE QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY, BUT MAY TRY TO PLAY WITH A FLAK JACKET AS ONLY AN OCCASIONAL CHANGE OF PACE FOR HENRY

CB CHRIS MILTON [FOOT]................NEW..............WILL BE QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

THOUGH THE OFFICIAL TITANS INJURY REPORT DOES NOT LIST BUTLER, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS LIMITED IN PRACTICE TODAY.

CB MALCOLM BUTLER [QUADRICEPS].............SUSTAINED A GRADE I TEAR WEEK 1...........HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE................HE PERFORMED WELL LAST GAME, BUT SUSTAINED AN AGGRAVATION OF HIS INJURY...............WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO PLAY SUNDAY IF NO SETBACKS.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

RB DARRYNTON EVANS [HAMSTRING]............... "NEW".............SUFFERED A HAMSTRING INJURY ORIGINALLY DURING FIRST PRACTICE OF WEEK 1 AND MISSED WEEK 1 AND 2....................CAME BACK WEEK 3................HAD A LONG REST TILL THE WEEK 5 GAME IN WHICH HE WAS RE-INJURED HIS HAMSTRING...............HE SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING SUNDAY.

The Titans have placed Darrynton Evans on injured reserve.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

NO REAL CHANGES.........................PREVIOUS COMMENTARIES STAND.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

THE TITANS OFFICIAL INJURY REPORTS HAVE BEEN PRETTY MESSED UP...............WITH YESTERDAY'S OMISSION OF BUTLER...............NOW WE FIND OUT THAT JOSHUA KALU AND LARREL MUCHISON, JONNU SMITH, KENNY VACCARO, NICK WESTBROOK-IKHINE,WERE ALSO LEFT OFF................WHILE DARRYNTON EVANS, WHO WAS PLACED ON IR REMAINS ON TODAY'S INJURY REPORT.

MY WEDNESDAY COMMENTARIES ON THE PLAYERS LISTED ON THE OFFICIAL INJURY REPORT REMAIN UNCHANGED.

HATE TO SAY THIS, BUT I'M SUSPECTING THAT VRABEL IS "PLAYING AROUND" WITH THE INJURY REPORT AS TAUGHT HIM BY BELLICHICK.

CLOWNEY'S PROBLEM KEEPING HIM OUT OF PRACTICE TODAY IS NOT "ILLNESS," IT'S HIS KNEES.

DB JOSHUA KALU [SHOULDER]...........NEW...............SHOULDER SUBLUXATION...........WILL LIKELY BE QUESTIONABLE, MAY TRY TO PLAY THROUGH IT WITH A SHOULDER HARNESS.

DL LARREL MUCHISON [ANKLE]...........NEW...........FROM WHAT I AM HEARING, IT IS A HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN..............I DON'T EXPECT TO SEE HIM SUNDAY.............IF HE TRIES TO PLAY, EXPECT SIGNIFICANT COMPROMISED PERFORMANCE.

TE JONNU SMITH [QUAD].............NEW.............BEFORE THE COVID "REST" WEEK, HE WAS DEALING WITH AN ANKLE INJURY.............THE QUADRICEPS INJURY IS VERY LIKELY COMPENSATORY...............PROBABLY ENDS UP QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY.

S KENNY VACCARO [HAMSTRING/CALF].............NEW.............COMBINATION OF HAMSTRING AND CALF INJURIES SHOULD MAKE HIM A NO GO FOR SUNDAY.

WR NICK WESTBROOK-IKHINE [HAMSTRING]..............NEW............WITH A SHORT WEEK, I CAN'T SEE HIM SEEING THE FIELD SUNDAY.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Titans injury designations sure look clean after their Friday practice. Did they hold it in a classroom?

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

GOES ALONG EXACTLY AS MY PREVIOUS COMMENTARIES.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Titans injury designations sure look clean after their Friday practice. Did they hold it in a classroom?

FRIDAY WAS ESSENTIALLY A WALK-THROUGH.


AS I POSTED PREVIOUSLY, I AM CONVINCED THAT VRABEL IS BEING LESS THAN HONEST WITH THE INJURY REPORTING (JUST AS HE WAS THE TEAM COVID FIASCO). I EXPECT THOSE THAT DON'T MAKE IT TO THE INACTIVE LIST SUNDAY, WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PERFORMANCE, AND/OR WILL PRODUCE A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT RE-INJURIES. ON A SHORT WEEK ESPECIALLY, TEAMS WILL SOMETIMES POST SOME OF THEIR PLAYERS AS DNP ON THEIR FIRST RETURN DAY OF PRACTICE WITH A "REST" DESIGNATION. HOWEVER, TOO MANY PLAYERS WERE LISTED DNP ON WEDNESDAY WITH SPECIFIC INJURY DESIGNATIONS, ESPECIALLY NEW INJURY DESIGNATIONS. ALL THIS SMELLS. WE'LL PROBABLY KNOW MORE SUNDAY.

NOTE THAT DARRYNTON EVANS IS THE THE INJURY REPORT AND HE WAS ALREADY PLACED ON IR.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Akins, Howell and Kalambayi have been ruled out for Sunday.
