Titans place Fernando Carmona AND Jackson Slater on IR

The Tennessee Titans have encountered major difficulties on their offensive front, resulting in both Fernando Carmona Jr. and Jackson Slater landing on the injured reserve list.

Carmona originally secured the starting left guard position during training camp and showed improvement in Week 2 following a difficult opener against the New York Jets, but an ankle issue on the opening play of their Week 3 matchup with the New York Giants forced him out of action. Slater stepped up admirably in relief after previously serving as valuable depth behind Carmona.

With both players sidelined, coaching staff must now turn to either Atonio Mafi or Garret Dellinger to hold down the position until the injured guards recover.
