Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins revealed his offseason knee injury was an MCL tear, per NFL insider Paul Kuharsky.
"I had the MCL tear maybe four and a half, five weeks ago so the thing about those is it takes a whole year for them to heal," Hopkins said. "Obviously it's pain at that point."
Though a torn MCL typically requires an extended recovery time, he said he hopes to be on the field in Week 1 as the Titans take on the Chicago Bears.
"Right now the way I feel, hopefully I can get out there Sunday and perform," he said.
