After getting good news this morning about one of the Tennessee Titans’ starters on offense, we’re getting some bad news about one of the team’s starters on defense.
According to John Glennon of Sports Illustrated, the Titans will be without safety Amani Hooker, who was a late addition to the injury report during the week with a groin issue and was listed as questionable.
Hooker’s absence is yet another big blow to a Titans defense already without its starting cornerback, Kristian Fulton, and his backup, Caleb Farley. This will no doubt make an already tough matchup against an elite Kansas City Chiefs offense even harder.
After missing the previous four games with a stint on IR, Hooker returned in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills and shined, earning the top Pro Football Focus grade of any Titans player.
In his place, the Titans will likely deploy safety Dane Cruikshank, who had filled-in during Hooker’s four-game absence but struggled for the most part.
