The first injury that the Titans are dealing with is with John Franklin-Myers, who was a top addition that the Titans made this offseason. He is an interior defensive lineman for the franchise and has proven to be a top pass rusher on the roster. Unfortunately for the franchise, it seems unlikely that he will make his way to the field for the first preseason game, as he is expected to be out at least another week with lower back pain.

Cor’Dale Flott Is a Wait and See

Cor’Dale Flott is the next on the list, as he is currently banged up, but the Titans will reportedly see where things stand ahead of the game to determine if he will be a go for the team. As of now, it does seem that this could be something that they don’t want to risk, as he is already feeling sore, and the Titans can’t afford an injury at cornerback before the season even begins.

Jacob Martin Remains Questionable

As for Jacob Martin, he is dealing with some bruising and remains hopeful to play in the contest. Although at this time he has not been confirmed to be a full go or even a slight active player. He is going to be similar to Cor’Dale Flott in the aspect of wait and see where things stand ahead of the game on Thursday or late on Wednesday.

Jackie Marshall is one player who seems unlikely to make it to the field on Thursday, as he is currently expected and hopeful to make his way back sometime next week. He is banged up with an oblique injury that will sideline him for the contest against the 49ers.
