The Tennessee Titans have played most of the season without their two starting cornerbacks. Chidobe Awuzie was placed on injured reserve (IR) in Week 4 with a groin injury and L'Jarius Sneed has missed the last four games with a quadriceps injury.
L'Jarius Sneed was surprised at how long ago his injury occurred.
Hasn't done anything on the field since his demise.

Sneed was not placed on IR but has shown no real signs of returning. After not practicing Wednesday, Sneed spoke to some reporters about his status and his frustrations.
“I’m just taking it day by day,” he said, “unfortunately.”
He continued to talk about how surprising it was to recover from that quadriceps injury. One that was initially described as a significant quadriceps contusion and later as a quadriceps strain after an MRI.
“It was tough, it was hard,” he said. “I want to be out there with my brothers and my teammates. It was quite a challenge for me that I couldn't get out of there. When I started with the organization in my first year and tried to make a name for myself here, it was challenging and frustrating.”
With Sneed on the sidelines and no timetable for his return, there is disappointment among both fans and player. The Titans have survived, but their secondary has been down three starters since Opening Day and has shown cracks in recent weeks.
The team will return to practice on Thursday and all eyes will be on seeing if Sneed can return to the field in some capacity.
