- Cedric Gray was placed in the NFL's concussion protocol after a UTV accident in Tennessee over the weekend, per a Titans statement released Monday.
- Gray, who was the driver of the vehicle, sustained a concussion and minor injuries; a team source told ESPN no alcohol was involved and it was not reckless driving.
- Gray led the Titans with 164 tackles last season after starting all 16 games, making him the defense's leading tackler heading into the new year.
- The NFL concussion protocol requires Gray to complete a multiphase return-to-participation program and be examined by an independent neurological consultant before he can be cleared.
- Gray could be cleared in time for Sunday's season opener against the New York Jets at Nissan Stadium if the independent consultant agrees with the team physician that his concussion has resolved.
Why it matters: Gray was the Titans' leading tackler in 2024 and is a defensive anchor going into Week 1; his potential absence or limited availability directly affects Tennessee's defensive gameplan against the Jets just four days after the accident.
