Another setback for the former first round pick
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is reporting that Caleb Farley suffered a disc injury yesterday:
#Titans CB Caleb Farley suffered a disc injury on Sunday, source said, and he’s having more tests to determine how significant it is and how much time he’ll miss. Noted expert Dr. Robert Watkins is expected to weigh in on Farley.

Of course, this is of major concern because of the history of back injuries Farley has. It was the alleged reason he slid to the Tennessee Titans in the 2021 draft. That might not have been the full reason he slid after seeing him play in the NFL.
It has been a rough start to Farley’s career. He was able to enter his rookie training camp without any restrictions from the back surgery that kept him out of the NFL Combine. However, he tore his ACL three games into his rookie year.
Farley had a great offseason, according to Mike Vrabel, but has struggled when given the opportunity to play this season. In the game yesterday he was injured while playing special teams. He logged 10 special team snaps but zero defensive snaps.
Hopefully, he was able to avoid major injury here.
