All the Titans that will miss the Patriots game

The Titans’ injury list is becoming a bit too long. With Brown sidelined, there are many other players that will miss the game on Sunday. The Running backs Jeremy McNichols and Derrick Henry, receiver Julio Jones are all out with injuries. Linebackers Rashaan Evans and David Long along with defensive lineman Teair Tart and offensive lineman Nate Davis are all out at the moment. 

The newest addition to the reserves, Brown will be out for three weeks. We can expect to see him return for the San Francisco 49ers game on December 23. At the moment, it is not clear if he would return for that Thursday night football fixture.

The Titans are more likely to start with their rookie Dez Fitzpatrick in place of Brown on Sunday. Because of the COVID-19 elevation used by the Titans, they have made Cody Hollister available to play against the Patriots as well.
