Titans' Cedric Gray in Concussion Protocol After UTV Crash, Availability for Season Opener in Doubt
Cedric Gray suffered a concussion and minor injuries, and the Titans said his status for Sunday’s opener remains uncertain.
On Monday, the Tennessee Titans announced linebacker Cedric Gray entered the NFL's concussion protocol after sustaining a concussion and minor injuries during a UTV accident over the weekend.
A team source confirmed to ESPN that neither alcohol nor reckless driving were involved in the Tennessee incident, clarifying circumstances of the crash while Gray was operating the utility terrain vehicle.
Selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, the 23-year-old led the Titans with 160 tackles last season, establishing himself as a key defensive contributor entering his 3rd year in the league.
Per NFL concussion protocol, Gray must receive clearance from independent medical consultants to return to activity, leaving his availability for Sunday's season opener against the New York Jets at Nissan Stadium uncertain.
While the team looks forward to Gray's return to full health, the Titans possess depth at linebacker with Cody Barton, James Williams, and Anthony Hill available to step in if necessary.
