Report: Titans G Fernando Carmona to miss a few weeks

According to FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, Tennessee Titans starting guard Fernando Carmona suffered an ankle sprain against the New York Giants after being carted off Sunday and will reportedly miss a few weeks. Schultz reported that Carmona, a fifth-round rookie from Arkansas, had started all three games this season.

Carmona’s absence affects a Titans team that is 0-3 in the supplied team data. Tennessee ranks 27th in offensive EPA and 22nd in defensive EPA among 32 NFL teams, placing both units in the lower portion of those rankings through the information provided by Keel Stats.

The player data supplied to Keel Stats lists Carmona as a Tennessee guard but does not include season totals or a season-game entry for him. Schultz’s report provides the available on-field context: the rookie had been in the starting lineup for each of Tennessee’s first three games before the ankle injury.

The Giants, Tennessee’s opponent in the reported injury, are 2-1. New York ranks 13th in offensive EPA and 24th in defensive EPA among 32 teams in the supplied data. Schultz’s report did not specify a return date beyond saying Carmona will miss a few weeks.
