The Tennessee Titans may be without another one of their defensive lineman moving forward, as Kyle Peko is believed to have suffered a season-ending injury versus the Miami Dolphins.
According to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, Peko’s calf injury, which forced his early exit from the Week 14 contest, will likely sideline him the rest of the season. The specifics of the injury remains unknown, though.
The injury will leave Tennessee even more shorthanded upfront after the team lost fellow defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons for multiple games following his suffering a knee injury in Week 13.
Along with starters Denico Autry and Teair Tart, the Titans have Jaleel Johnson and rookie TK McLendon on the roster. Johnson forced a fumble against the Dolphins and McLendon was responsible for the recovery.
Tennessee also has Ross Blacklock and Marlon Davidson on the practice squad. Both have played in one game for the Titans this season and are candidates to be promoted if Peko goes to injured reserve.
