The Tennessee Titans may have been granted a reprieve in their schedule during the month of October.

According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, the NFL has suspended Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller for four games after violating the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy.

This means Miller won’t be able to return until Week 9 at the earliest, which confirms his absence for Week 7 when the Bills play the Titans in Buffalo.

This is a big loss for the Bills considering Miller has been enjoying a bounce back season so far. After playing in 12 games last year for Buffalo recording just three tackles, Miller has made three sacks so far this season in just four games as the Bills have marched on to a 3-1 record to start the season.

At 35 years old, the former No. 2 overall pick is proving that he still has some gas in the tank and that he shouldn’t be ruled out as a contributor moving forward.

However, his four-game suspension certainly halts his momentum, and that’s a big loss for the Bills.

The Titans should be lucky that they won’t be seeing Miller this season. In five career games against the Titans, Miller has 17 tackles and 2.5 sacks, so he won’t be able to add to those totals in this next meeting.

The offensive line has struggled so far this season, allowing 16 sacks. Will Levis is the third-most sacked quarterback in the NFL behind Cleveland Browns star Deshaun Watson and No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears.

The Bills defense is still scary without Miller, but they will be short-handed against the Titans when they come to western New York later in the month.

For now, the Titans will enjoy their bye and then begin to prepare for their game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6 before focusing on the Bills in Week 7.

In a segment on “The Insiders”, NFL Network’s Omar Ruiz discusses the status of the ankle injury sustained by Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, reporting that the signal caller is “trending towards playing” in the team’s upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 NFL regular season.

The Tennessee Titans offense poured on the points in their 31-12 win against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 at Hard Rock Stadium.

Week 4’s game marked the first time in 1,002 days that the Titans scored 30 or more points in a game. The last time the team cracked the 30-point threshold came back in Week 17 of the 2021 season, when the Titans beat the Dolphins (ironically) in a 34-3 victory.

“Coach said it had been like 1,000 days,” Titans running back Tony Pollard said via team reporter Jim Wyatt. “It’s great, especially going into a bye week. It’s huge for us to take that momentum and carry us into next week.”

To put even more perspective on how long it has been since the Titans accomplished this, Will Levis was a junior at Kentucky, but he wasn’t the one responsible for his team’s offensive success.

Levis left the game in the first quarter after suffering a shoulder injury on the Titans’ second possession of the game. The first time the Titans had the ball, Levis threw an interception, his sixth in just four games. The turnover marked the ninth giveaway for the Titans so far this season, which contributes to the lack of points from Tennessee’s offense.

In relief of Levis, Mason Rudolph took care of business, and didn’t even have a major game stats-wise. He completed 9 of 17 passes for a mere 85 yards. However, his ability to manage the game and keep the ball led the Titans to scoring in bunches.

Levis has the ceiling of being able to make big, extravagant throws with his arm strength, but if he cannot keep the ball in his team’s hands, he won’t be able to accomplish what Rudolph was able to do when he was leading the offense.
