Tennessee Titans WRs must step up against New England Patriots

He Tennessee Titans are preparing for their Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots, where the team could see the return of second-year quarterback Will Levis.

While Levis could return to the field for the Titans, his receivers may look a little different than the last time he was on the field.

Since Levis last played in Week 6, the Titans traded DeAndre Hopkins and placed Treylon Burks on injured reserve. The Titans have also seen Tyler Boyd and Calvin Ridley deal with injuries, and both are questionable for this weekend’s game.

This means that the Titans He will have to rely on some unprepared players for his matchup against the Patriots.

Among those players is fifth-year pro Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who leads the team with three touchdowns. He is the only receiver on the team with multiple touchdowns this season, making him one of the most consistent players on the roster.

He’s also looking to reach 100 career receptions after finishing the last game with 99.

“I just try to take advantage of opportunities when they come my way.”Westbrook-Ikhine said via team reporter Jim Wyatt. “There are some plays where it’s planned and I know it’s going to happen, and some plays where you’re just trying to make something happen. So I hope we can keep it up. At the end of the day, I just want to help this team win.”

Another player who could be called up is sixth-round rookie Jha’Quan Jackson.

Jackson, 24, has yet to have a catch this season, but could be in line for more work with Boyd and Ridley potentially missing the game.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it looks like the Titans may be reaching the bottom of the depth chart to get some production heading into their Week 9 game.
