The Tennessee Titans are not in great shape after their huge 34-31 win in Monday Night Football clash against the Buffalo Bills. The team saw several of their players go down with injuries, and according to first reports, some of them might be season-ending.

The toughest blow for the Titans is the potential ACL injury that their rookie cornerback Caleb Farley suffered. The 22nd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft hurt his knee midway through the second quarter and was forced to exit the game. He will undergo an MRI, but Tennessee is reportedly not too optimistic about the results.

This presents heartbreaking news for Farley as he just recently returned to the field after missing several weeks due to shoulder issues. Virginia Tech product previously dealt with several major injuries while at college, including an ACL tear in 2017.

Farley played only three games in his NFL career, totaling 60 snaps on offense and 14 snaps on special teams. He has four tackles, and one pass defended.

Besides Farley, the Titans reportedly also lost wide receiver/return specialist Cameron Batson. It is believed that Batson is dealing with ACL injury as well and will not play again in 2021.

Tennessee’s injury report after the Bills’ game also includes corner Chris Johnson (foot injury), left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion), and wideout Julio Jones (hamstring injury).
