The only other player with an injury designation is cornerback Chris Milton, who is questionable.
Casey has been dealing with a shoulder issue for a few weeks now, and it appears he has finally succumb to it. He did not practice at all this week.
Walker is hampered by an injury to his ankle, and it’s the same ankle that forced him to miss all but one game in 2018. Walker was able to suit up in Week 7, however he was forced from the game early. He is now set to miss his second straight game after being ruled out in Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Jones suffered a concussion in the Week 8 game against the Bucs and has been in the concussion protocol ever since. The Titans made a move to re-sign offensive lineman Hroniss Grasu on Thursday, which gave us an idea that Jones was in danger of missing the game.
This will be the first game Jones has missed in his career, and breaks an 88-game streak of starts dating back to his time with the Houston Texans. Jones had started in every game of his Titans tenure.
Jamil Douglas will start at center in place of Jones. Start praying.
Left guard Rodger Saffold has been cleared from his own concussion and is good to go against Carolina. Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson will also be back to work after missing Week 8.
A decision will be made on whether or not kicker Ryan Succop will play his first game of the season tomorrow, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
