MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker was lost in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Left tackle Taylor Lewan was ruled out with a quarterback Marcus Mariota was sidelined by an elbow injury.
Walker was taken off the field with an air cast on his right leg. He went down awkwardly as he was tackled by Dolphins safety T.J. McDonald. The training staff sent a message to him immediately.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that he suffered a dislocated ankle on the play but the medical staff was able to pop it back in.
The trainers put a towel on the floor. Walker caught a 15-yard pass from backup Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert before being tackled.
"It certainly did not look good when I was standing," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said during his postgame news conference.
It is unknown how long Walker will be out, but more details are expected Monday after further evaluation.
Le Mans suffered a vicious hit by Dolphins lineman defensive Andre Branch during Reshad Jones' interception return before the second of two play suspensions due to lightning strikes in the area.
Fights broke out as Lewan lay motionless on the field. Dolphins defensive back Bobby McCain and Jordan Phillips defensive tackle were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. Titans running back Dion Lewis was also flagged after the fights.
"I have to take a look at it, but I think it will be discussed when we look at it. "You have to take care of yourself when you want to play hard and compete, but do not want to get dirty."
The second delay of two delays lasted 2 hours, 20 minutes. After play resumed, Mariota threw her second interception on a tasty pass that was grabbed by the Dolphins' Kiko Alonso.
Mariota was removed from the game in favor of Gabon on Tennessee's next drive.
"I am all right I could not feel my fingers I should not feel my hand I am not going to make an excuse. for the team, "Mariota said after the game.
Mariota suffered the injury earlier in the game on the Dolphins' William Hayes. The hit came as Mariota was executing a read-pass option. He raised his hands to the referee after he was hit.
Said Mariota: "I thought it was late and low, but it was not a decision for me to make, but it was a referee's determination."
Added Vrabel: "He took a hit on his shoulder and elbow area so we will see where he is at moving forward. [Official Jerome Boger] if Marcus is carrying a fake we have to be careful. He said that it was legal. That was probably the play [Mariota] got hurt on. That's something we will take a look at, see where Marcus' health is and the same for everyone else. "
