Tennessee Titans rookie linebacker Rashad Weaver (leg) underwent successful season-ending surgery on Thursday to fix a broken fibula, according to a source. The fourth-round pick suffered the serious injury in the Week 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Weaver played on only 18 percent of the team's defensive snaps last Sunday and totaled two assisted tackles. His injury is a hit to Tennessee's linebacking depth, but it won't make their defense/special teams any less attractive in an excellent Week 4 matchup with the New York Jets. Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson has thrown seven interceptions and been sacked a whopping 15 times in his first three NFL games.
Tennessee Titans rookie defensive end Rashad Weaver, the team's fourth-round pick last Saturday, was charged last Friday with one count of simple assault in connection with an incident in April in Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old is accused of punching a woman. The woman was later diagnosed with a concussion and had proof that she was pregnant at the time of the incident. A preliminary hearing in Weaver's case is scheduled for Oct. 5. Weaver's attorney, Dennis M. Blackwell, issued a statement saying that "the allegations against my client, Rashad Weaver, are completely false and reckless." Weaver played for Pittsburgh from 2017 through 2020. He missed all of 2019 with a torn ACL, but he received first-team All-America honors in 2020.
