The Titans’ Week 9 win has come at a notable cost on both sides of the ball. Center Lloyd Cushenberry could very well be out for the season, and the same is also true of safety Quandre Diggs. 
The latter suffered a Lisfranc injury which will end his campaign, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report. Diggs is in his first campaign with Tennessee, and he had served as a full-time starter during the 2024 slate. Now, his attention will turn to recovery ahead of free agency.
Head coach Brian Callahan said after the game – an overtime win over the Patriots – the outlook was not good in Diggs’ case. The former Lion and Seahawk was one of many veteran safeties who spent considerable time on the open market this offseason, but by early August he had a deal in place with the Titans. To no surprise, that one-year contract carried a value of just $3MM and featured a veteran minimum salary.
With expectations relatively low as a result, Diggs managed to immediately carve out a first-team role on his newest team. The three-time Pro Bowler logged a 99% snap share in eight Titans games, racking up 42 tackles. Diggs did not register any interceptions or pass breakups, and his coverage statistics (76.5% completion percentage and 147.9 passer rating allowed) certainly leave plenty to be desired. Still, this injury will create a notable vacancy in the secondary for the Titans, who rank No. 1 in total defense and against the pass.
That success has not been sufficient to overcome the team’s offensive struggles, and as such Tennessee sits at just 2-6 on the year. Expectations are not high for a second half turnaround, and the Titans (having already traded away DeAndre Hopkins) could be active sellers before tomorrow’s trade deadline. Regardless of what happens on that front, Diggs’ season is now over. He faces a lengthy rehab process, one which will no doubt affect his market value in the spring.
