Multiple Starters Out
The Tennessee Titans will be without several starters for their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate is out with a shoulder injury, along with left guard Peter Skoronski due to a hamstring issue. Punter Tommy Townsend will miss the contest with a left knee injury. Linebackers Cody Barton and Anthony Hill Jr. are also ruled out, dealing with a concussion and neck injury respectively.
Tate's Recent Production
Entering Week 9, his 413 receiving yards topped all rookie pass catchers. The shoulder injury happened in a 27-24 loss during Week 7, leading him to miss the next contest. Second-year receiver Chimere Dike stepped into a larger role with 58 snaps, catching five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Other Roster Adjustments
Skoronski hurt his hamstring in the fourth quarter before the bye week and sat out all practice sessions. Reserve offensive lineman James Hudson III played 30 snaps in his place and is in line for the start, though the decision remains game-time. Hill leads the team with 82 tackles and was named AFC Defensive Rookie of the Month for September. Barton suffered his concussion in Week 8, creating more opportunities for Cedric Gray. Punter Thomas Morstead received a game-day elevation from the practice squad to handle duties in Townsend's absence.
