Weaver Making Plays Again<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Titans second-year OLB Rashad Weaver flashed during his rookie year during the preseason, and he put himself in a position to help the team a year ago. But an injury ended Weaver’s season early, and forced him into months of healing, and rehabilitation. Weaver is back once again, and he’s making plays again. On Saturday night, Weaver had a sack and a fumble recovery. “It’s good to be back at Nissan Stadium, good to be back at home in front of the fans,” Weaver said. “It was my first game at Nissan since being hurt and it’s something I was looking forward to. Just going out there and playing like I play, and making things happen and doing what the defense asked of me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Titans made a lot of plays on defense on Saturday night \u2013 four sacks, an interception, four fumbles caused and one fumble recovery. But perhaps the best effort play of the game was made by linebacker Ola Adeniyi, who knocked the ball out of the hands of Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask before then chasing him down for a sack, and a loss of 21 yards. The Buccaneers went from having the ball at the Tennessee 19-yard line to the 40-yard line \u2013 and out of field goal range. “(The coaches) preach every day ‘effort and finish’,” Adeniyi said. “When I saw the ball and smacked it \u2026 it was good to see that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For the second straight week, the Titans sat a lot of their starters. WR Robert Woods, QB Ryan Tannehill, RB Derrick Henry, safety Kevin Byard, LB Zach Cunningham, LB David Long, OLB Harold Landry, center Ben Jones, G Nate Davis, DL Denico Autry, and DT Jeffery Simmons did not play in the contest . But the Titans did play a number of starters at least for a series or two, including left tackle Taylor Lewan, receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, cornerback Kristian Fulton, OLB Bud Dupree and safety Amani Hooker, among others. Rookie cornerback Roger McCreary also played for the first time, along with guys battling for starting spots \u2013 guard Aaron Brewer, and tackles Dillon Radunz and Nicholas Petit-Frere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
