Lloyd Cushenberry's Injury Impacts Titans vs. Jaguars Matchup

Tennessee Titans starting center Lloyd Cushenberry will miss the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a foot injury he sustained during the game against the Seattle Seahawks. This injury is critical as Cushenberry's absence could significantly impact the Titans' offensive line performance.

Corey Levin will step in as the starting center; Levin was the primary center during the majority of training camp while Cushenberry was recovering from an Achilles injury sustained last season. This familiarity could help ease the transition for quarterback Cam Ward, as both players have had time to work together.

The Titans will also be without cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, safety Kendall Brooks, and defensive tackle Shy Tuttle, all ruled out for the matchup. With four players listed as questionable, including Elic Ayomanor, Dan Moore, Chig Okonkwo, and Xavier Woods, the Titans are in a precarious position as they prepare for this important game.

However, the good news for the Titans is that all four questionable players were limited in practice on Friday, suggesting they may have a chance to participate in the game. This matchup against the Jaguars is crucial, as it marks the end of a four-game homestand for the Titans spanning the month of November.

With the stakes high and the roster thin due to injuries, the Titans will need every available player to secure a win against a divisional rival. According to Music City Miracles, the Titans are hoping to capitalize on their home-field advantage to get at least one win before heading into the next phase of the season.

The absence of Cushenberry, a key offensive line player, could provide the Jaguars with an edge on defense, potentially allowing them to exploit gaps in the Titans' protection and pressure Ward more effectively.

As the Jaguars prepare for this critical matchup, they will be looking to take advantage of the Titans' injury woes and secure a pivotal victory in their quest for playoff positioning.
