Overview
- Rookie starter Fernando Carmona was carted off during the Titans' Week 3 game at MetLife Stadium and is being evaluated for an ankle injury.
- NFL reporting says Carmona likely suffered an ankle sprain and will miss a few weeks while possibly avoiding placement on injured reserve.
- Backup Jackson Slater finished the game but has a reported, significant foot issue and is also under evaluation with unclear timing or cause.
- Tennessee must quickly reshuffle the right-guard spot and consider internal options such as Atonio Mafi, Garrett Dellinger or Pat Coogan to cover upcoming games.
- The changes threaten a unit that ranked second in pass-blocking efficiency through three games and could affect protection for the offense in Baltimore on Oct. 4.
