    SUMMARY: Titans WR David Givens tore his anterior cruciate ligament and will be out the rest of the season. Givens had to be carted off the field after being hurt on the Titans' second play of the fourth quarter of Sunday's 27-26 loss to Baltimore. Travis Henry ran for 7 yards off right tackle, and Givens had stopped and planted his left leg to start blocking when he went down. According to Coach Jeff Fisher, he will have surgery as soon as the swelling goes down. "He just came off the thumb injury, worked very hard, and now we've lost him for the season," Fisher said. Givens signed a five-year contract worth $24 million, with an $8 million bonus, in March. He had an ankle injury in minicamps, a virus, then a hamstring injury. He broke his left thumb on Oct. 1 and tore a tendon that needed a pin inserted. Also injured Sunday was DT Robaire Smith and CB Reynaldo Hill who each had a sprained ankle. Travis LaBoy suffered a concussion.

    Might I suggest that the Titans start getting some size on this team? All these guys that are getting hurt are slight. David Givens is a bust. What's the track record for Titan receivers who suffered ACL tears and tried to come back?

    wouldnt say hes a bust...we just blew $24million though...We need a playmaker on offense besides Vince, and maybe the solution could be Calvin Johnson, but what are the odds we really do draft him? I get the feeling we would be drafting an O-linemen but i would really like to see us take CJ
