After a strong showing in his NFL debut, many were excited to see how Titans rookie offensive lineman Peter Skoronski would follow up his impressive Week 1 performance.
Unfortunately, Skoronski popped up on the injury report on Friday with an illness designation, and it’s apparently severe enough to the point that he has already been ruled out for Sunday’s Week 2 matchup with the Chargers, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com
Tennessee will undoubtedly have massive shoes to fill, and the likeliest options to replace the rookie lineman are Xavier Newman-Johnson and Corey Levin. However, Dillon Radunz is set to make his debut on Sunday, so there could be a chance that we see him at left guard as well.
Nonetheless, this is a disappointing development for someone who is arguably already the team’s best offensive lineman.
Also, in separate news, Tennessee is elevating defensive lineman Kyle Peko and defensive back Eric Garror for Sunday’s showdown with the Chargers.
