The Tennessee Titans are dealing with several injuries as they prepare for their Week 7 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Leading the injury report is starting quarterback Will Levis, who is still nursing a shoulder injury sustained in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. While Levis was a limited participant in practice, the team hopes to gradually increase his involvement as game day approaches.
Also listed as limited in practice are wide receiver Treylon Burks, recovering from a knee injury, linebacker Kenneth Murray (rest), and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (rest). Their participation at a limited capacity is a positive sign compared to several other players who were unable to practice at all.
Five Titans did not practice on Wednesday, including defensive lineman Keondre Coburn (knee), wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (rest), linebacker Ernest Jones (illness), cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (quad), and running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring). While most are expected to improve as the week progresses, Coburn and Spears might miss the game, based on previous assessments of their injuries.
However, there is some good news for the Titans. Rookie linebacker Cedric Gray fully participated in practice for the first time this season. Gray, who suffered a shoulder injury in training camp, is currently in the middle of his 21-day activation window from injured reserve, signaling a potential return to action soon.
On the Buffalo Bills’ side, they conducted a walk-through practice following their Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets. The Bills’ injury report includes several key players as limited participants, such as linebacker Terrel Bernard (pectoral), running back James Cook (toe), fullback Reggie Gilliam (hamstring), wide receiver Mack Hollins (shoulder), and cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm). Defensive tackle DaQuan Jones (foot), tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone), and defensive tackle Ed Oliver (hamstring) were also limited, leaving Buffalo with some injury concerns of their own heading into the matchup.
Both teams are dealing with a significant number of injuries, and their ability to manage these setbacks could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of this important Week 7 game.
