Titans’ Dontrell Hilliard, Kristian Fulton among 3 ruled out vs. Bills
The Tennessee Titans will be without their No. 1 cornerback and No. 2 running back for the Week 2 contest against the Buffalo Bills.
After practice on Saturday and ahead of the release of their final injury report, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel revealed that cornerback Kristian Fulton, running back Dontrell Hilliard and backup offensive lineman Jamarco Jones have all been ruled out for Monday night.
Losing Fulton is the biggest blow of the group, and now the Titans will be tasked with facing an elite passing attack that is loaded with impressive weapons without their top cornerback.
Stepping into Fulton’s role will be 2021 first-round pick Caleb Farley, who is a man without a role after playing just 17 snaps in Week 1. Fulton spoke about his lack of playing time during the week.
“I just do whatever they ask me to do to the best of my ability,” Farley said, according to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online. “I feel like if I take care of that, I try and earn a bigger role and everything should take care of itself.
“I am definitely motivated and ready to show it on Monday. I am ready to go out there and have a good game and go out there to compete.”
Hilliard was among the biggest standout for the Titans in Week 1 against the New York Giants, as he finished second in receiving yards and scored two touchdowns.
With Hilliard out, we will see more of Julius Chestnut and Hassan Haskins. Neither had a touch in the season-opening loss, but Haskins was active in pass protection on Tennessee’s final drive.
