What should have been a celebratory weekend for the Tennessee Titans turned somber with the announcement of multiple injuries following their victory over the Patriots. Despite the impressive win, quarterback Will Levis couldn’t fully savor the result, as one of his key teammates has been ruled out for the remainder of the NFL regular season.

While fans celebrated the win, the main concern shifted to two injured players. One of them is Lloyd Cushenberry, who will be sidelined due to a torn Achilles. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed on Monday that the center will miss the rest of the season.

Cushenberry had been instrumental, communicating plays to Mason Rudolph and previously to Levis, who has been out since Week 5 but may return soon, as he’s listed as questionable for Week 9. Unfortunately, more setbacks were announced for head coach Brian Callahan’s squad.

Defensive standout Quandre Diggs also sustained an injury, hurting his left foot and exiting the game early. Although the Titans has not confirmed how long he will be out, Diggs was having a standout season, with 42 total tackles, 35 of them solo, and 13 passes defended.

Callahan continued, “We played hard and well enough to give ourselves a chance to win. The game was a little longer than expected with an extra quarter of football, but I couldn’t be prouder of how hard those guys fought.
