Titans’ L’Jarius Sneed opens up on quad injury: ‘It’s been tough’

Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed opened up on his quad injury with reporters on Wednesday and admitted it’s been a tough slog.

The Tennessee Titans have played most of the season without their two starting cornerbacks. Chidobe Awuzie was placed on injured reserve (IR) during Week 4 with a groin injury and L’Jarius Sneed has missed the past four games with a quad injury.

Sneed was not placed on IR, but has shown no real signs of returning. After not practicing on Wednesday, Sneed spoke to some reporters about his status and his frustrations.

“Just taking it day to day,” he said, “Unfortunately.”

He continued to talk about how surprising it has been to recover from this quad injury. One that was originally called a substantial quad bruise and later after an MRI a quad strain.

“It’s been tough, it’s been hard,” he said. “I want to be out there with my brothers, my teammates. It’s been kind of challenging for me that I can’t get out there. Coming into my first year with the organization, trying to make a name for myself here, it’s been kind of challenging, and frustrating.”

With Sneed on the sideline and with no timetable for his return, disappointment has started to set in for both the fans and the player. The Titans have survived, but their secondary is down three starters from opening day and have shown cracks in recent weeks.

The team will return to practice on Thursday, and all eyes will be focused to see if Sneed can get back on the field in some capacity.
