The Titans will be without WR Brandon Jones for the next two or three weeks after he underwent knee surgery. Jones has played pretty well this season for the Titans. He has caught 13 passes for 172 yards (13.2 avg) with 1 TD grab and he also has carried the ball 1 time for 19 yards. Look for Roydell Williams and Eric Moulds to get more looks in the passing game until Jones is healthy enough to return.

The Titans have lost rookie Jacob Ford for the season after he tore his ACL in practice yesterday. This is a blow to both Ford and the Titans as they were going to give him an opportunity to contribute on defense because they need all the help that they can get on that side of the football.

The Titans have lost Antonio Johnson for the season as he will need major knee surgery. This is a shame because the Titans needed help on the D-Line and Johnson was going to get a chance at some playing time as a rookie.

David Givens had additional knee surgery six weeks ago and he is now doubtful to be ready for week #1 of the regular season. This has got to be a huge disappointment to the Titans front office that paid Givens a lot of money last season in free agency to be their #1 WR. Givens only played in 5 games in his rookie season last year and he only caught 8 passes for 104 yards (13.0 avg) with 0 TDs. He also carried the football 1 time for 3 yards.
