For the second year in a row, Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has sustained an ankle injury during the season. But unlike last year, his recovery won't include a trip to the operating room.

Right foot got trapped on a sack play, mechanism for high ankle sprain. Got taped. Tannehill had tightrope ankle surgery on that ankle last December.
Head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Tannehill's ankle injury is similar to the one he sustained last year in Week 7. It cost him just two games at the time, but he aggravated it in Week 15 and missed the rest of the season. He had surgery in the offseason which fixed the issue, but it's likely something Tannehill wants to avoid doing again if possible.
The Titans have caught another break with this injury: they have a bye in Week 7, meaning that Tannehill will get nearly two weeks to rest and rehab his ankle. If the Titans do end up needing a non-Tannehill option for Week 8, it would be either Malik Willis, who played the entire fourth quarter on Sunday after Tannehill departed, or Will Levis, the No. 3 quarterback.Road closed due to construction work on Nira St both ways between FL-13 Hendricks Ave and Flagler Ave.
