A potential reason why the Tennessee Titans aren’t playing Corey Davis.

Corey Davis is going to be a really good player for the Tennessee Titans. However, fans will have to wait a little longer because he will miss Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

I didn’t really think there was a chance that would happen, but he was named inactive on Tuesday.

I mean if he was really injured why was he on the field the end the game vs the Jacksonville Jaguars? You could have put Eric Weems out there or used Phil Supernaw or Jalston Fowler as a blocker, right?

For him to be inactive instead of a reduced role is a pretty significant thing. Especially when you look back at my first point.

If you have heard the Titan Sized Podcast you know that I have a lot of theories about things that go down. Mainly because I think what coaches and PR people report to the media is more spin or smoke and mirrors than we give it credit for.

Here is my theory on why Davis is inactive for this game even if he is healthier than we think.

The Titans declared him inactive because this game is one of the least important on their schedule.

Now, this isn’t college football. Every game actually matters in the NFL because a 9-7 team gets a wildcard spot over a 8-8 team no matter which games those teams win.

However, some games matter less than others. This all has to do with tiebreakders and how you get into the playoffs. The order goes like this:

1. Division games (Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville)

2. Conference games (AFC teams)

3. Out of conference games (NFC teams)

So as you can see this game falls into that third category. Not only is this game not important, but the Titans have back to back division games, after this which again are the most important games in the season.

While Corey Davis may be struggled, they might aggressively be attacking his rehab now so that he has a chance to play in one or both of those games instead of trying to have him in some reduced role.

You don’t want a player to miss any time at all, but resting him now with a set date to return being early next week, you can have a clear plan of attack and hopefully get him back to full health as quickly as possible.
