The Tennessee Titans dropped their season-opener to the New York Giants on Sunday, 21-20, and the team suffered some injuries during the contest.
The good news is all of the team’s key players appear to have come out of the game unscathed, but we’ll know more once the first injury report is released Thursday.
For now, the three players in question are running back Dontrell Hilliard, safety A.J. Moore, and outside linebacker Ola Adeniyi.
Of course, information is always limited at best when it comes to Titans players’ injuries, but here’s what we could scrape together after Week 1.
OLB Ola Adeniyi
#Titans Ola Adeniyi, officially listed as QUESTIONABLE to return with a shoulder injury.

Adeniyi came down with a shoulder injury and he didn’t appear to ever return to the game. The outside linebacker was dealing with a neck issue coming into this game, so another injury on top of that is bad news.
S A.J. Moore
UPDATE: According to Paul Kuharsky, Moore is out for the season with an ankle injury.

Moore injured his ankle on a special teams play and was carted to the locker room. He was later spotted in crutches and with a walking boot following the game.
RB Dontrell Hilliard
While Mike Vrabel said Dontrell Hilliard was unavailable for the last drive, he said he was not banged up late. #Titans.

Hilliard was very effective in the passing game but was noticeably absent on Tennessee’s final drive. Vrabel said he was unavailable, but it appears Hilliard was not injured.
