Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Jack Conklin tore his ACL during the team’s playoff defeat to the New England Patriots back in January, and there are indications that he may miss the start of the season as he continues his recovery.
In a Q&A with Jim Wyatt of the team’s official website, the writer revealed that Conklin was unlikely to be ready for training camp, and it was “too early” to tell if he’d be active for the start of the season.
“Titans coach Mike Vrabel said at his final minicamp presser he expects everyone to be ready for camp, with Conklin being the only exception,” Wyatt wrote. “He mentioned PUP as a possibility. So I’m not necessarily expecting him at the start of camp on July 26. As for the start of the season, well, it’s too early for me to say about that quite yet.”
Former Titans coach Mike Mularkey had warned of this possibility immediately after the injury. It’s less than ideal, as Conklin is a former All-Pro who helped anchor the Tennessee offensive line.
