NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans were unusually healthy all season, but the injuries hit them hard Sunday against the Houston Texans. The most notable loss was defensive end DaQuan Jones, a three-year starter, who suffered a torn biceps and was placed on injured reserve Monday.
It's a big loss for the Titans. Jones, who will have surgery soon, was hidden because of the dirty work he did taking double teams and stopping the run. He made a big splash notching 3 ½ sacks over the last two games.
The Titans have the NFL's third best rushing defense, in part due to Jones' play up front.
