Titans Suffer big losses at Wide Receiver

Posted on September 18, 2018 at 11:56 PM.

The Titans got confirmation of some bad news to the Wide Receiver corps coming off the tough loss at home to the Texans in week 2. In the Monday press conference it was confirmed that the team will be without both Rishard Matthews and Corey Davis for at least the next few weeks. Both players were injured early in the contest against the Texans and did not return. Matthews is suffering from an abdominal tear and will miss less action than Davis who received an upper arm fracture and will be out 5-6 weeks.

Pos	Player	Injury Note
WR	Rishard Matthews	Abdominal Tear
WR	Corey Davis	Upper Arm Fracture

The next man up mentality is in the spotlight as the Titans will now turn to young players Taywan Taylor and Tajae Sharp to take over the top 2 receiving spots in the absence of Matthews and Davis. It was announced the team has also reached terms with Free Agent WR Justin Hardy as well a 3 year pro that will join the team this week in preparations for Jacksonville.

The expectation is that without the service of Matthews and Davis for the next few weeks that TE Delanie Walker will draw extra attention in upcoming games from opposing Defenses.

On the optimism front neither player will be placed on IR and both are expected to rejoin the team in the next 4-6 weeks.
