Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee Titans will be forced to rely even more on Derrick Henry in a key divisional matchup if their top wide receiver is unable to return. A.J. Brown left his team's game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday with a hamstring injury.
He's currently listed as questionable to return to the field, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Brown was targeted twice before being forced to the sideline in the first quarter, unable to haul in either pass. He came into Week 3 hoping for a big game after a relatively slow start to the season that saw him combine for seven catches, 92 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals and subsequent overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
The good news for Tennessee is that Brown is no longer his team's only explosive pass-catching weapon. The Titans acquired Julio Jones during the offseason in hopes of teaming him with Brown, but the future Hall-of-Famer is obviously comfortable playing alpha dog in the passing game with his explosive young teammate sidelined.
Tennessee, 1-1, entered Week 3 sitting alone at the top of a struggling AFC South.
