The Tennessee Titans' injury situation is borderline insane.
They are one of the most injured teams in the NFL for the second year in a row. Today, the injuries continued to pile up for Tennessee. On their offensive line, both Dillon Radunz and Nate Davis left the game.
Radunz looked solid early on at offensive tackle, but his stint in the game got cut short.
It was unfortunate because Radunz sounded excited for his opportunity during practice this past week. The Titans were giving him a big chance to prove himself, but the injury took him out of the game.
Accordingly, Dennis Daley came into the game to replace him. By all accounts, Daley has been one of the worst offensive linemen in the league this season. Today was no different for him.
Daley struggled mightily, and that led to tons of pressure on QB Ryan Tannehill.
Unfortunately, pressure led to Tannehill getting injured. The foot injury looked gruesome, but Tannehill returned for the Titans. He pushed through pain that he felt was "at the top of the pain scale."
The Titans' injury struggles and lack of proven depth at offensive tackle continue to wear down the offense. Frustrating play-calling doesn't help hat, but that is a separate problem for the Titans.
Dennis Daley's inefficiency could have costed Tannehill the rest of his season.
You cannot blame him for struggling at times today while running for his life consistently.
