The Tennessee Titans picked up a dramatic 34-31 home victory over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, but the team will now have to keep going this season with some key pieces relegated to the sidelines.
According to multiple reports, the Titans have lost both cornerback Caleb Farley and wide receiver Cam Batson to torn ACLs.
Titans fear first-round pick Caleb Farley tore his ACL last night and will do an MRI today to confirm, per source.

With a host of Titans down on defense, Bills quarterback Josh Allen went 35-for-47 for 353 passing yards and three touchdowns, but on a bold decision by Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott to go for it on fourth down from inside the Tennessee five-yard line in a three-point game with 22 seconds to go, the Titans defense stepped up huge.

On offense, three-time Pro Bowl tackle Taylor Lewan suffered a scary upper-body injury during the contest and was carted off the field, but it was later reported during the "Monday Night Football" broadcast that he had movement in all extremities. Late in the fourth quarter on a Titans offensive possession, wide receiver Julio Jones went to the sideline and was ruled out with a hamstring injury.
The Titans will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
