Tennessee Titans Injury Report: Star Player AJ Brown To Miss Several Weeks

On Saturday, Tennessee Titans moved their wide receiver, AJ Brown, to injury reserves. It happened right before their week 12 fixtures with the New England Patriots. It is clear that Brown will not be playing the game tonight. 

What happened to AJ Brown?

The injury occurred during last week’s game against the Houston Texans. The Titans suffered a painful loss. During the 22-13 loss, Brown suffered a few injuries. He hurt his chest, rib, and hand. The wide receiver played 40 snaps offensively. He also finished five receptions for 48 yards, with nine of them on target. In his last ten games, Brown has completed 46 receptions for 615 yards along with three touchdowns. The last game that Brown missed was the week 4 loss against the New York Jets. He missed that game because of a knee injury. 

After they announced that AJ Brown was shifted to the injury reserves, he posted on social media, “Walking by faith as always. GOD makes no mistakes.”

All the Titans that will miss the Patriots game

The Titans’ injury list is becoming a bit too long. With Brown sidelined, there are many other players that will miss the game on Sunday. The Running backs Jeremy McNichols and Derrick Henry, receiver Julio Jones are all out with injuries. Linebackers Rashaan Evans and David Long along with defensive lineman Teair Tart and offensive lineman Nate Davis are all out at the moment. 

The newest addition to the reserves, Brown will be out for three weeks. We can expect to see him return for the San Francisco 49ers game on December 23. At the moment, it is not clear if he would return for that Thursday night football fixture. 

The Titans are more likely to start with their rookie Dez Fitzpatrick in place of Brown on Sunday. Because of the COVID-19 elevation used by the Titans, they have made Cody Hollister available to play against the Patriots as well. 

The predicted lineup for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday is quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Joined by wide receivers Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Cody Hollister and Dez Fitzpatrick will also be included in the game. 

If their injury reserved list does not shorten up soon, the Titans could be in big trouble. It is already an uphill battle for them to get through these games. Hopefully, they can get a healthy lineup soon.
