Michael Roos has started every single game for the Titans since being drafted in the second round back in 2005, a streak now in peril of ending at 119 straight.
Hey, even NFL players have to heal after emergency appendectomies.
The left tackle played through discomfort in last week's 35-34 win at Buffalo. He returned home and couldn't sleep before finally heading to the hospital at 4 a.m. Monday where he met a team doctor to have his appendix removed.
Roos says the streak is a source of pride, but he will have to see how he feels day by day before the Titans (3-4) play the Colts (3-3) on Sunday. Source: Pro Football Weekly Attached Thumbnails

Chris Johnson still isn't back to his old self
For the first time in a long time, Chris Johnson turned heads this weekend in the Titans' victory over the Buffalo Bills.
