After leaving Saturday's loss to the New England Patriots with a knee injury, Tennessee Titans tackle Jack Conklin has been diagnosed with a torn ACL.
Head coach Mike Mularkey announced the news during a press conference Sunday, confirming the 2016 All-Pro will need surgery on his knee.
Conklin could be in tough to return in time for the start of the 2018 season, as typical recovery is at least eight months. His return is crucial for the Titans' offense to take the next step and improve upon their 19th-ranked unit in 2017.
