The Tennessee Titans faced a challenging matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 9, compounded by injuries to key players. Offensive lineman Lloyd Cushenberry III exited the game in the third quarter due to an ankle injury, joining defensive back Quandre Diggs on the sidelines.

Cushenberry's absence is particularly significant as he is the second offensive lineman lost to injury, following Dillon Radunz, who was already ruled out with a rib issue. With these setbacks, the Titans are struggling to maintain their offensive line stability as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
