Tennessee Titans: Caleb Farley injury update vs. Buffalo Bills

Tennessee Titans first-round pick Caleb Farley was carted off the field to the locker room with a knee injury and has already been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night’s matchup vs. the Buffalo Bills.

Farley sat out his final season at Virginia Tech due to COVID-19 concerns but was widely considered one of the top cornerbacks of the 2021 NFL Draft Class.

The Tennessee Titans selected Caleb Farley with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-2 inch, 197-pound defender only began playing cornerback as a redshirt freshman at Virginia Tech after switching from wide receiver. He took to his new position quickly, intercepting six passes in 24 games with the Hokies.

In 2019, Farley’s final season at Virginia Tech, he was named first-team All-ACC after he led the conference with 16 passes defensed. His four interceptions tied for second place in the conference.

Farley has missed three of the Tennessee Titans first five games due to a lingering shoulder injury. Monday’s injury didn’t look great and would obviously be a major blow to the Titans and Farley if he is forced to miss extended time.

Tennessee Titans win overtime thriller

Despite a barrage of injuries that included Farley and starting left tackle Taylor Lewan both getting carted off the field, the Titans prevailed in the end.

In a game that included seven lead changes, the Titans rode on the back of running back Derrick Henry and a stifling defense to pull off a key AFC victory over the hottest team in the NFL.

The Titans will now hope the injuries sustained in Monday night’s victory won’t linger as they attempt to ride the momentum throughout the second-half of the year.

The Titans have a tough task on a short week, as they take on the defending AFC champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, at home on Sunday, Oct. 24.
