Nearly everyone thought that third-year safety Amani Hooker would be the next Tennessee Titans player to take a significant step forward.

Unfortunately, Hooker suffered an injury that landed him on injured reserve, and now the Titans are going to make a change at starter for the first time in the 2021 season.

According to Jim Wyatt, the next man up is likely going to be Bradley McDougald. Coming in to start after starting on the bench isn’t new for the nine-year veteran.

Over the last seven years, McDougald played with three teams, 47 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 47 games with the Seattle Seahawks, and then 7 games with the New York Jets before suffering an injury.
