Tennessee Titans DE Derrick Morgan to Miss a Few Weeks

Mike Munchak said after today's practice that Tennessee Titans DE Derrick Morgan had his knee scoped and that he will miss a few weeks. The good news here is that there wasn't any additional structural damage, according Munchak, so that after he heals up from the surgery he should be good to go.

This is frustrating, but it isn't the worst news we could have gotten. My guess would be that he misses the first two games of the year.

This also increases the chances that a guy like Pannel Eghboh will make the roster. The Titans were without three defensive ends in practice today, Morgan, Jason Jones and Jacob Ford, so the likelihood that all of those guys are ready to go week 1 is very thin.

We know Morgan won't, and Jones and Ford both have a pretty long history of nagging injuries. Egboh can probably lock up his roster spot, at least for the beginning of season, with a solid performance on Thursday night.

I´m hoping Locker don´t get injured, so I don´t need to see you turn on him so quickly.

This is not good

We lost our best pass rusher from last year and did nothing to replace him.

Our top 2 pass rushers (Morgan, Jones) of the present will probably miss the first two games of the season (at least).

Hayes is inconsistent and doesn’t apply much pressure.

Ford is a situational player that will probably miss games because of injury.

That leaves us with ….

I'd pay Jerry Gray 4,000,000 MCM Bucks to do that one play.

Just to see the confusion on the offense they were playing. How epic would it be to run out Shaun Smith and a bunch of DBs? No way you’re getting the TE across the middle against that!

Hey guys, Giants fan here. Really, really random question.

Going into last April’s draft, my favorite prospect BY FAR was Akeem Ayers. I desperately wanted the Giants to trade up for him in the 2nd. I was upset that we didn’t get him, but happy that he went to a team that I didn’t dislike.

I haven’t been following his progress at all…way more focused on the guys we got, but I’d be interested in knowing how he’s doing. Is he showing up in practice? How’s he looked in action thus far? I made a ton of bets with friends and told ‘em he’s going to be a stud one day haha, so I’d love to be proved right thus far!

Been hyped like crazy and has allegedly looked very, very good.

Hasn’t necessarily made a “wow” play in preseason games like an INT or sack, but he’s already penciled in as a starter at OLB and we’re all hoping he is the second coming of Keith Bulluck (in his prime, one of the most underrated players in the league last decade).
