Titans Linebacker Jack Gibbens Suffers Ankle Injury

Tennessee Titans linebacker Jack Gibbens suffered a severe right ankle injury during the third quarter of the team's Week 11 game against the Minnesota Vikings, leading to his immediate carting off the field. The injury occurred during a play involving Vikings running back Aaron Jones and has been deemed serious, likely sidelining Gibbens for the remainder of the 2024 NFL season. Head coach Brian Callahan confirmed the grim news post-game, indicating that Gibbens would be placed on injured reserve. This injury marks a significant loss for the Titans, as Gibbens has been a standout player with a career-high of 15 tackles in a recent game. In his absence, linebacker Jerome Baker is expected to increase his playing time alongside Kenneth Murray. Gibbens, an undrafted rookie from 2022, had made a notable impact on the Titans' defensive unit this season.
