New York Jets linebacker driven off the field against Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans are ahead of the New York Jets and things are unlikely to get much easier for their opponents.

Jets linebacker CJ Mosley limped to the sideline and eventually transferred to a golf cart to be taken to the locker room.

The Jets have announced that Mosley has sustained a foot injury and is questionable for tonight's game against the Titans.

If Mosley is out for the Jets, it will be a huge loss for their defense. He is a five-time Pro Bowl linebacker, most recently in 2022. He is also extremely healthy and reliable, having played in all but one game since 2021.

Mosley suffered the injury on the first play of a 10-play drive by the Titans when they led 7-0. Titans running back Tony Pollard ran the ball for a 15-yard gain, and Jets safety Chuck Clark was also assessed a horse-collar penalty for another 15 yards. The play brought the Titans close to the halfway line on the first play of the game.

During the drive, the Titans started at the 16-yard line but advanced into the Jets' red zone. The most important play of the drive came from another penalty on 3rd down when Will Levis was tackled by Jermaine Johnson, negating a key stop and starting a new series of downs for the Titans.

The Titans could have scored, but on the third and decisive attempt at the 6-yard line, Levis lost the ball and it was recovered by Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

The Titans are once again in control of the game and Mosley's injury should help them, but if Tennessee continues to make mistakes and keep the Jets in the game, they could be in for another loss.
