King will be lost for at least six weeks after re-fracturing his right forearm. He originally sustained the injury last year and was lost for the season and will need surgery to fix the problem.
“He’ll be out for a while,” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. “Eric King fractured his forearm last year and was playing with a plate, and he re-fractured at the union joint. He’ll require surgery. It won’t put him out for the rest of the year. It’ll be about a six-week injury.”
King was disappointed, but happy that Carr filled in nicely for him.
“It’s definitely frustrating, but you’ve just got to keep your head up and continue to work hard to get back,” King said. “We’ve got a real deep secondary. Chris Carr came in today, and he stepped up today and showed that he’s a big-time player as well.”
Tough break for the Titans and King, who has to be frustrated having the same injury twice. King's loss also effects our depth in the secondary if Harper and Hill can't go. If that is the case, Tennessee will only have Cortland Finnegan and Chris Carr at corner but I'd like to see Griffin move to corner if need be.
But Coach Fisher has indicated that Hill should be fine after his hip pointer and if we need help in the secondary, Cary Williams will be activated from the practice squad.
In other injury news, Keith Bulluck says that his ribs hurt a little more than in the past, but he hopes to practice this week.
