Wednesday Injury Report: Beating Buffalo Left Titans Battered

More than a dozen players would have been unable to practice had a workout been scheduled.

NASHVILLE – Winning comes with a cost, and the Tennessee Titans’ 42-16 triumph over the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday exacted a physical toll.

Titans players had the day off Wednesday. Good thing too.

Tennessee estimated that more than a dozen players would have been unable to participate in the day’s workout, according to the official NFL injury report. Those who would have sat out included both starting tackles, tight end Jonnu Smith (pictured) and wide receiver A.J. Brown – the two who accounted for the Titans’ three receiving touchdowns against the Bills – three members of the secondary and both of running back Derrick Henry’s backups.

“That was a pretty taxing game for us physically,” coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday. “So, we'll have to get healthy quickly for the for the [Houston] Texans this week.”
