Tennessee Titans safety A.J. Moore is reportedly out for the season after suffering an injury in the Week 1 loss to the New York Giants.
According to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, Moore suffered a serious ankle injury in the second quarter, which will end his season. The specific injury is not clear at the moment.
We figured Moore was going to miss at least some time after he was spotted on crutches and in a protective boot following the game.
The Titans brought Moore in via free agency to bolster their special teams unit. He was also expected to help out as a backup on defense.
After an injury-plagued 2021 campaign that saw the Titans field an NFL record 91 players, Tennessee is off to a bad start in 2022.
Moore will be the sixth addition to injured reserve for the Titans so far, a list that also includes stud pass-rusher Harold Landry, who is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Also on injured reserve are wide receiver Racey McMath, cornerback Elijah Molden, linebacker Chance Campbell and tight end Tommy Hudson. Also, Tennessee has two players on the physically unable to perform list in linebacker Monty Rice and kicker Caleb Shudak.
