The Facts: Tennessee Titans running back Javon Ringer sustained what looked like a serious injury to his left knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout loss to the Vikings. Ringer caught a four yard pass, and then was tackled by Minnesota cornerback Josh Robinson. The Vikings defender landed on Ringer's ankle, which made the rusher's knee bend up backwards underneath him. He was carted off the field. Ringer caught three balls for 12 yards prior to the injury.
Diehards Line:The Titans put Ringer in the game to help spark the offense after Chris Johnson got nowhere fast against against the Vikings stout run defense. We'll wait for an official diagnosis on Ringer's injury, however by the looks of it we would be shocked if he doesn't miss significant time. In the short term, Jamie Harper should see more playing time. That said, between Ringer's injury and the team's inability to be effective on the ground, Tennessee might be forced to tap the free-agent market for some much needed help. Stay tuned.
