Against the Titans (0-1), they’ll face a far less potent offense, but one that nevertheless boasts Derrick Henry, one of the best running backs of this era. Henry saw a diminished workload (63 yards on 15 carries) last week in a loss to the Saints, but could feast against the Chargers’ weak linebacker corps. — as Fields opened his second year as the Week 1 starter by passing for just one touchdown and getting sacked four times in a loss to the Packers.

The NFLPA in April pointed to studies from 2012-22 that it says show a significant increase in non-contact injuries on artificial surfaces vs. grass fields. He said some artificial surfaces are softer, creating more wobble when the foot hits the ground.
