<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Titans' Givens out for season with torn knee ligamentAssociated PressTennessee receiver David Givens tore a left knee ligament on a freak play Sunday when he planted his leg and will miss the rest of this season.Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that Givens tore the anterior cruciate ligament.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.Fisher said Givens will have surgery once the swelling eases."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.He had only eight catches for 104 yards this season.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2660743PS: In unrelated news, Albert Haynesworth's suspension has just ended.
Givens won't really be missed. He hasn't done shit yet & has spent his career-to-date as a Titan on the injury report. The biggest thing we lose in this situation is any sort of chemistry he and VY might be able to establish for the future.We (Titans fans) think it's the curse of the 87. First Kevin Dyson, then Tyrone Calico, now David Givens.Of course, then there's also the FA WR curse. First Yancy Thigpen, then Carl Pickens, now David Givens.He was screwed from the start.
Haha, Titans Fans have one of those too?!?!Jets have the 'White TE' aka #88 curse. Kyle Brady (sucks), Anthony Becht (sucks), Doug Jolley (sucks), Sean Ryan (sucks). lol
