Tennessee Titans Rule Out Three Players Ahead of Jacksonville Jaguars Matchup in Week 11

Wide receiver Treylon Burks will miss another game with a concussion. Also suffering from a concussion, left tackle Andre Dillard was ruled out. Starting cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting had surgery on his thumb recently and while he is able to practice, the Titans have decided to hold out the veteran corner another week.
As for the players with questionable designations heading into Saturday, starting right guard Daniel Brunskill was limited throughout the week with an ankle injury, but seems like he is trending towards playing. The Titans picked up former Panthers starting guard Calvin Throckmorten this week. Throckmorton has started six games this season and is set to fill in if Brunskill can’t go.
Special teams stalwart and linebacker Luke Gifford will also be questionable with a shin injury. Gifford may play a lesser role on defense, but his impact on special teams can surely be felt. The Titans will need all the help they can get on the road.
It also looks like Ryan Tannehill will return this week and serve as the backup quarterback. Tannehill suffered an ankle injury in Week 6 that ultimately led to him losing his job to rookie Will Levis.
On the Jacksonville side of the injury report, two players were ruled out for Sunday’s game while four others were listed as questionable. A much longer list than the Titans, but some important names make up the Jaguars’ report.
First, talented return man and offensive weapon Jamal Agnew was ruled out early in the week and then starting cornerback Tyson Campbell was ruled out on Friday.
That leaves the four questionables. Starting left tackle Anton Harrison, starting wide receiver Zay Jones, defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris and reserve receiver Parker Washington all will be decided on Sunday.

The Tennessee Titans were outmatched at every level in their Week 11 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 34-14 score looks bad on it’s own, but it may be even kinder to the Titans than the game actually was. The ninth-straight road loss for the Titans had a lot of the same old issues that have plagued the team all year — a porous offensive line, a helpless secondary and a coaching disadvantage. Whether it be offense, defense or special teams, the Titans simply aren’t talented enough to compete. The offensive struggles were aplenty, but the real let down for the Titans was on defense. The defense gave up three back-breaking third down conversions from penalties while allowing Trevor Lawrence to be perfect in three red zone chances on his way to four total scores. The offense showed some signs of life in the second half with some bombs from Will Levis(13-17, 158 yards, 2 TDs) to DeAndre Hopkins(4 catches, 59 yards, 1 TD) and Chris Moore, Hopkins’ catch going for a touchdown. They even threw a scoring pass to defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons to get 14 points on the board. The problem for the Titans remains that any offensive success is few and far between. The Titans were lifeless for most of their possessions including a fumble on a bad snap by Aaron Brewer on the offense’s second drive of the game that led to the Jaguars’ first touchdown. The third phase was no better for the Titans. All-Pro punter Ryan Stonehouse even struggled and it is fair to wonder if it is from fatigue. Eric Garror is a rookie defensive back returning punts and he fumbled on a second half return to give the ball back to the Jaguars. All three phases had their failures. These teams are just on totally different levels when it comes to roster talent and coaching. The Titans have now lost nine in a row on the road and dropped to 3-7 which will lead to questions about Mike Vrabel’s job status, but with a game at home against the struggling Carolina Panthers, Vrabel should have one more shot to get this team a victory.
