Tennessee Titans rule out three players against Buffalo Bills

The Tennessee Titans are about to travel to Western New York to take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 7. However, some players will remain at home after struggling with injuries in recent weeks.

According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, the Titans will be without running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring), wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) and defensive lineman Keondre Coburn (knee) for the team’s game against the Bills.

Given the lack of activity during training this week, it’s no big surprise that one of these players is already out.

Coburn’s injury dates back to Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins and he is not yet fully healed, although he had a bye in Week 5 and did not play in the last game against the Indianapolis Colts. He will now miss his second straight game, but considering he has not yet been placed on injured reserve, there is hope he will return in the next week or two.

Spears suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s game against the Colts. Earlier in the week, coach Brian Callahan referred to him as “week-to-week,” which was already an indication that he might not be available against the Bills. The Titans are giving him another week to heal, which could allow him to return for Week 8 when they visit the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.

The least likely person on this list is Burks, who played against the Colts last week and even practiced on Wednesday. However, he suffered a knee injury that has slowed him down ever since. The Titans are prepared to not have Burks for a few weeks, which means more reps for DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who scored a touchdown in Week 6.
