Tennessee Titans: 3 reasons for optimism and concern vs. the Bills

Delanie Walker’s Knee:

One of the biggest concerns going into the home matchup with Buffalo is the health of 13-year tight end Delanie Walker.

Walker has continued to deal with a nagging knee injury that is limiting his ability to play at his highest level. Against the Falcons, Walker tallied just one reception for four yards in the game.

The concern is how well he can play against Buffalo this week.

Walker has been a prized tight end for Tennessee ever since he joined the team in 2013 from the San Francisco 49ers.

However, after 2017 Walker started to deal with multiple injury issues that kept him off the field. In 2018, he played in just one game the entire year after breaking his right ankle against the Miami Dolphins. And this season he is dealing with the knee issue that is slowing him down.

If healthy, Walker can bring another aspect to the game for the Titans’ offense to help beat Buffalo, however, if he is unable to go the offense will lose a key contributor for the offense’s pass production.
