Titans cornerback Jason McCourty has been sidelined most of the month by a groin injury and resting it wasn’t getting him back on the field, so he’s decided to take another approach.
Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt announced that McCourty had surgery on Monday morning in hopes of repairing the injury. Whisenhunt said that he wasn’t sure how long McCourty would be out of action while he recovers from the operation, but said he didn’t think it was impossible for McCourty to be well enough to play in the season opener.
If McCourty can make it back in time for Week One, he’ll likely be starting at corner along with Perrish Cox. If he can’t, the Titans will turn to Coty Sensabaugh or Blidi Wreh-Wilson, assuming that Wreh-Wilson recovers from the ankle injury that’s kept him off the field recently.
McCourty has started every game for the Titans over the past three seasons. He had 85 tackles, three interceptions and two forced fumbles for Tennessee last season.
