Titans lose another defensive back; Harper has surgery on broken forearm, out up to 6 weeks

Titans’ Harper out up to 6 weeks with broken arm

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans cornerback Nick Harper will be out up to six weeks after surgery on a broken right forearm.

He is the second defensive back the winless Titans have lost to a broken right forearm. The other is Vincent Fuller, who was injured Sept. 27 against the New York Jets. The Titans hope he might be able to play Nov. 1 against Jacksonville.

Coach Jeff Fisher says the Titans will be stretched a bit thin for Sunday’s game at New England and the team might have to make a roster move.

Tight end Craig Stevens was released from a hospital Monday with a concussion. Stevens was knocked out of Sunday night’s 31-9 loss to Indianapolis after a helmet-to-helmet collision with a teammate.
