Cushenberry’s Battle for Week 1: A Race Against Time.
As the Tennessee Titans gear up for the upcoming NFL season, a looming question hangs over the team: will they have their starting center, Lloyd Cushenberry III, ready for the season opener? The Titans bolstered their offensive line last year by signing Cushenberry from the Denver Broncos, and his performance was promising until an Achilles tear sidelined him for the remainder of his first season in Nashville.
Recovery Journey and Rehabilitation
Cushenberry suffered his injury during a pivotal game against the New England Patriots on November 3, just nine games into his tenure with the Titans. This unfortunate turn of events not only ended his season prematurely but also placed him on Injured Reserve, initiating a challenging rehabilitation process. Team reporter Jim Wyatt highlighted the extent of Cushenberry’s struggles, noting that he missed essential offseason activities, including organized team activities (OTAs) and the three-day minicamp.
Throughout his recovery, Cushenberry has remained steadfast in his commitment to regaining full fitness. He has focused on refining his diet and enhancing his game preparation, showcasing a willingness to adapt during this difficult period. In his own words, he expressed optimism about his prospects for returning to the field in time for the opener, emphasizing the importance of continued hard work.
