Report: Titans’ Lloyd Cushenberry suffers season-ending injury

The Tennessee Titans pulled out a hard fought 20-17 overtime victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday to move to 2-6 on the season. 

It wasn’t the prettiest of victories but a big win for the Titans and head coach Brian Callahan. Unfortunately, the team suffered some injuries in the contest that will impact them throughout the rest of the season. 


The Titans lost center, Lloyd Cushenberry, in the second half on Sunday with what was originally reported as an ankle injury. Now, reports are surfacing stating Cushenberry will miss the remainder of the season with an Achilles injury. This is a huge blow to the Titans and their offensive line. 

During the game, practice squad elevation, Corey Levin replaced Cushenberry because Daniel Brunskill started at right guard for Dillon Radunz, who missed the game with a foot injury. With Cushenberry and Radunz battling injuries, there are even more issues on the right side of the offensive line. 

The injury to Cushenberry also follows the Titans’ placing reserve interior lineman Andrew Rupcich on injured reserve on Saturday with a torn tricep, further impacting the depth along the interior. Now, coming off this win, the team will have until Wednesday to work out the next steps with this unit.
