The Tennessee Titans lost tight end Delanie Walker late in Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was the only thing the Titans lost Sunday after beating the Buccaneers, 42-14, in a game that wasn't even that close.

Walker caught three passes (on three targets) for 43 yards and a touchdown before injuring his rand. Walker was seen with a cast on his right hand after the game, according to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online, but said there was no break.
Fantasy impact: Check back early in the week for an official diagnosis on Walker. If he misses time, Anthony Fasano would likely fill the tight end role for the Titans, though Fasano is unlikely to be a big fantasy contributor.
It would be a frustrating loss for Walker's fantasy owners. The tight end looked to be a good TE1 value with rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, and any extended absence would really curtail that.
