Lloyd Cushenberry "very optimistic" about playing Week 1 after torn Achilles

Lloyd Cushenberry, the center for the Tennessee Titans, is recovering from a torn Achilles that sidelined him for the remainder of the 2024 season. As he works on regaining his form, Cushenberry is optimistic about playing in the Titans' season opener against the Denver Broncos on September 7. He emphasized the importance of this summer in getting back into football shape and expressed confidence in his progress, stating he feels good and is close to being cleared. If ready, this game will be particularly significant as Cushenberry will face his former team, the Broncos, who drafted him in 2020 and for whom he started 57 games over four seasons.
