Titans Receiver DeAndre Hopkins Facing Potential Month-Long Absence Due to Knee Injury

August 1, 2024

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins could miss four to six weeks with a knee injury suffered in practice, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

Hopkins joined the Titans last season and led the team with 75 receptions for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns.

If Hopkins is out for a month, he could return in time for the Titans’ season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 8.

The Titans are expected to have one of the NFL’s top receiving groups after they added veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd to go with Hopkins.

With Hopkins sidelined, 2022 first-round draft pick Treylon Burks will take his place in practices.

The Tennessee Titans may be without star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins for an extended period of time due to a knee injury he sustained during a recent game. Hopkins, who was acquired by the Titans in a blockbuster trade earlier this season, has been a key player for the team and his absence could have a significant impact on their offense.

According to reports, Hopkins suffered a knee injury during the Titans’ game against the Indianapolis Colts last week. While the exact nature and severity of the injury have not been disclosed, sources close to the team have indicated that Hopkins could be sidelined for up to a month as he recovers.

Losing Hopkins for an extended period of time would be a major blow for the Titans, as he has quickly become one of their top offensive weapons. In just a few games with the team, Hopkins has already made a significant impact, recording multiple touchdowns and big plays that have helped propel the Titans to victory.

In Hopkins’ absence, the Titans will likely turn to other receivers on the roster to step up and fill the void. Players like A.J. Brown and Julio Jones will need to take on larger roles in the offense and make plays to help keep the team competitive in Hopkins’ absence.

It remains to be seen how long Hopkins will be out and how the Titans will adjust to his absence, but one thing is for certain – his presence on the field will be sorely missed. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on his recovery and hoping for a speedy return to action.
