Tennessee Titans Release First Injury Report of Week 4 Ahead of Matchup with Cincinnati Bengals
USA TODAY Sports

The Tennessee Titans have been dealing with some issues through the first three weeks of the year on offense and defense, but luckily one area where they aren't having a ton of issues so far has been the training room.

While the Titans have had some injuries, they head into Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals in relatively good shape compared to what we have seen in recent years. Here's a look at the first injury report of the week from Wednesday's practice.

The name to watch on this list for the Titans is Peter Skoronski. The rookie guard has now missed two games and the Titans' struggling offensive line could use him back. Skoronski looked like a first-round offensive lineman in Week 1, the Titans need that again. 

However, Skoronski didn't practice and while head coach Mike Vrabel said Skoronski is progressing, it seems unlikely we see him back this week after having an appendectomy prior to Week 2. His status will be one to watch going forward.

Starting nose tackle Teair Tart is also a name to watch. Tart has been excellent in helping the Titans stuff the run so far this year and will be needed against a Bengals team that has a banged-up quarterback and will want to run the ball.

One other item of note, receiver Treylon Burks was limited in practice, but his status isn't what's most concerning. For the first time in recent weeks, Burks had a significant brace on his left leg. Burks injured the leg in a preseason practice session with the Minnesota Vikings, but hasn't missed any games.

Burks may be off to a slow start, but it will be all hands on deck as the Titans try to avoid dropping to 1-3 on the year and try to avoid it against a quarterback they have never beaten.
