Titans Star DE Harold Landry Tears ACL; Out for 2022 Season

A second-round pick of the Titans in 2018 (41st overall), Landry was coming off a breakout year, which saw him tally a career-high 12 sacks en route to earning Pro Bowl honors. He was rewarded with a five-year, $87.5 million contract extension this offseason.
Landry’s absence adds further pressure on fellow pass rusher Bud Dupree, who endured an underwhelming first season in Nashville. Inking a five-year, $82.5 million contract in March of 2021, Dupree notched just three sacks in 11 games while dealing with a litany of injuries. How he performs will be crucial in what could be a make-or-break year for the 29-year-old.
FanDuel Sportsbook currently has the Titans at -240 on the moneyline ahead of Week 1’s contest against the New York Giants.
