One of the Titans’ biggest strengths is their young offensive tackle duo of Michael Roos and David Stewart. Both were assured to be in Nashville for the forseeable future as a result of the contract extensions they signed during the offseason.
For the next couple of weeks, the Titans will be missing the presence of one-half of their set of bookend offensive tackles.
According to The Tennessean, “Big Country” will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery today and will miss the next two preseason games.
The article suggests that their is a possibility that Stewart will be able to return for the club’s final preseason game, but in all likelihood, we won’t see Big Country again until the monumental first game of the regular season against the Jags.
Jack-of-all-trades lineman Daniel Loper, who filled in at right guard during the Titans’ playoff loss to the Chargers last year, will replace Stewart in the lineup.
Losing Stewart is a bitter pill to swallow, but thankfully, he should be ready to go when the games start to count.
