OBJ's hip issue began in mid August and has not disappeared. He will play but how well? "It’s something that prevents me from opening up and sprinting," This is a concern as flipping your hips/accelerating in and out of cuts is how to achieve separation. This could limit his route tree and make him more defensible. The Titans could hear these comments and take advantage. The comments from Jarvis Landry that "He’s still probably the fastest in the room right now,'' does not fully comfort me. Being fastest in a straight line does not translate to change of direction and first step separation. OBJ could still be a quality receiver but will be hard for him to be elite vs the Titans on Sunday. Our injury index will be updated when the final team injury report comes out Friday.
