Tennessee Titans Week 1 injury report: Kevin Pamphile, Jack Conklin listed
Here’s a look at the Tennessee Titans’ injury report going into Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.
The Tennessee Titans released their injury report after Thursday’s practice, and both right guard Kevin Pamphile and right tackle Jack Conklin were listed, along with outside linebacker Reggie Gilbert.
Conklin was listed on yesterday’s report, so he’s not a surprise. After sitting out Wednesday’s practice, Conklin was a full participant in Thursday’s session. It looks like he’s ready to go for Sunday.
Pamphile was the surprise addition here. After practicing on Wednesday, Pamphile did not partake in Thursday’s practice and is now a concern for the Titans going into Sunday.
While we don’t know how serious Pamphile’s knee injury is at the moment, he was seen limping off the practice field on Wednesday.
Behind Pamphile on the depth chart is Jamil Douglas and Nate Davis.
We already know what the Titans have in Douglas — which is certain mediocrity — but we have yet to see just how good Davis can be in game action after he was injured for almost all practices during the offseason and didn’t play in any preseason games.
If Pamphile were to sit, could Davis get the nod and start on the right side?
We’d love to see it, but it’s not likely considering Davis might be a bit behind after having missed so much practice time. What we do know is that Davis is ready to go, as he said so to the media this week.
Behind or not, Davis might still be a better option than Douglas. At worst, Davis should at least see some snaps in Week 1, regardless of whether Pamphile plays or not.
The third player listed on the report, Gilbert, is not much of a surprise. He’s been recovering from a knee injury and is expected to be ready for Week 1, or Week 2 at the latest. He has yet to participate in a practice for the Titans, and our guess is he doesn’t play on Sunday.
