The Tennessee Titans are no stranger to long injury reports and they will once again be faced with an extensive one as they begin their weekly practices in advance of their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10.
Five starters did not practice for the Titans on Wednesday. Corner Sean Murphy-Bunting, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, right guard Daniel Brunskill, offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere and Treylon Burks were the five. While it is only Wednesday, it is fair to be worried about the talent level the Titans will have on Sunday.
Among those limited we saw quarterback Ryan Tannehill who practiced for the first time since injuring his ankle, linebackers Luke Gifford and Jack Gibbens, offensive tackle Chris Hubbard, defensive back Anthony Kendall and defensive lineman Denico Autry. Although Autry was listed for rest purposes, not injury.
It is too early in the week to know for sure, but there seems like a good chance these players should be able to go against the Buccaneers. If not, the loss of Hubbard on the offensive line and Gibbens at linebacker, especially with Al-Shaair missing practice, could be huge.
Finally, we have some positive news. After being sorely missed the last two games, corner Roger McCreary was a full participant and is expected to play Sunday barring any setbacks. Safety Mike Brown also was a full participant as he continues to come back from injured reserve.
