Titans considering benching CB Perrish Cox

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After a miserable performance in Indianapolis, cornerback Perrish Cox's starting spot could be in jeopardy.

Ask if Cox’s recent play might be cause for a lineup adjustment, coach Mike Mularkey said, “We’re discussing that, yes.”

The Tennessee Titans' pass rush has often covered up for the weaknesses in the secondary, but Andrew Luck thrived under pass pressure in Sunday’s 24-17 Colts win.

According to Pro Football Focus, Cox gave up six completions on six passes where he was the primary defender in coverage. Those went for 142 yards and a touchdown and produced a perfect passer rating of 158.
