NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans will be without two defensive starters in the home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Titans coach Mike Vrabel ruled out safety Amani Hooker and cornerback Kristian Fulton for Sunday's game. Hooker collided with teammate Sean Murphy-Bunting while tackling Saints receiver Michael Thomas last week and was placed in concussion protocol.
The fourth-year safety did not practice all week. Hooker missed two games due to a concussion last season. Shoulder and knee injuries kept Hooker out of another seven games.
