    It looks like Titans starting center Brian Schwenke will require arthroscopic surgery for his ankle.

    Schwenke suffered a high-ankle sprain early in a November game against Jacksonville, missing most of that contest as well as the next game against Indianapolis. Schwenke returned for the last six games of the season, but his mobility and power were noticeably restricted by the ankle pain.

    “Yeah, it looks like it’s going to need a little surgery,” Schwenke said Saturday. “I think they want to ‘scope it out. We just got the MRI (on Friday) … but it sounded like (the doctor) really wanted to do it.”

    Schwenke said torn ligaments weren’t necessarily an issue.

    “It’s just some of the build-up of scar tissues and things like that, from playing on it,” Schwenke said. “If I wasn’t playing football, I probably would have been fine. But as the season went on, it probably wore on it more and more.”

    Schwenke said that assuming he undergoes surgery, he should only need about a month to recover, so it certainly shouldn’t affect his offseason football activities.

    Tommy Boy and Brian weight the same. I'd take Tommy over Rob Turner as our C
