If Titans tight end Delanie Walker has to miss Sunday's game against the Browns due to a hand injury, it seems coach Ken Whisenhunt is counting on Chase Coffman to help fill in for the veteran tight end.
Tennessee elected to keep five tight ends on the roster to start the season. They are Walker, Coffman, Anthony Fasano, Craig Stevens and Phillip Supernaw. Coffman was the only tight end inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Bucs.
“I would say we would have to be in good shape. We have five tight ends on our roster,’’ Whisenhunt said, per the team's official website. “But it's good that we do have that option. I think that some of things that Delanie does well, Chase can fill that role if we need him to, which is good.”
Walker had three catches for 43 yards and one touchdown in a 42-14 win over the Bucs in Week 1.
