NASHVILLE -- Delanie Walker and Jack Conklin showed up on this week’s injury report.

Each was sidelined before halftime of Sunday’s game at Nissan Stadium with different issues.

A thigh issue knocked out Conklin, the starting right tackle, at the start of the second quarter. Walker, the Pro Bowl tight end, sustained an ankle injury midway through the second quarter. Team officials said both were listed as questionable to return.

Conklin (pictured) showed up on the injury report Thursday with an ankle injury. The 2016 first-round pick missed seven games last season due to a knee injury sustained late in the final game of the 2017 regular season. He is one of three Titans offensive linemen to start every game this season.

Walker has played every game this season despite a knee injury that has limited his practice time over the past three weeks. He entered the contest tied for the team lead with 21 receptions and two touchdown catches and was third with 2015 receiving yards. He had played at least 14 games in 11 straight seasons before an ankle injury in the 2018 opener caused him miss the remainder of last season.

Conklin watched the Titans’ final drive of the first half from the stationary bike and gave no indication that he might return. Walker was on the sideline with his helmet on but was not put back in the contest.

Tennessee and Los Angeles were tied 10-10 at the half.
