Right protect Chance Warmack chose to have surgery on his harmed right hand, and the Tennessee Titans plan to put the previous first-round single out harmed hold.

The move could mean the end of the line with the Titans for the tenth general pick in the 2013 draft.

"Chance decided on surgery on the finger. We had a long exchange with him, the greater part of his choices, and he had the surgery. So we'll place Chance on IR with that damage," Titans mentor Mike Mularkey said.

The Titans still would have the choice of taking him back to the dynamic program following at least eight weeks on the off chance that they did as such. On Monday, Mularkey showed that if Warmack decided on surgery that it would be around a one month recuperation process.

Warmack is in the last year of his agreement with the Titans after the group declined a $11.9 million group choice on the 2013 first-round pick in May of this current year, making him a free operator next March.

"We're going to put him on IR. He can return, however it is a damage where he must wear a club at any rate and when that time comes up, that is an extreme position to play with a club on your hand," Mularkey said.

Mularkey demonstrated that the choice for surgery was made by Warmack and was not a shared one between the player and the group.

"This was Chance's own choice to do. One of the alternatives, that he could have played with a club. One of the alternatives was to not have the surgery and not have a club like Sunday. That was an alternative too," Mularkey said.

The Titans will part reps by and by this week between newcomer Josh Kline and a year ago's beginning focus Brian Schwenke.

Kline was gotten off waivers just before the season started, while Schwenke was unstuck from the beginning lineup this year when the Titans marked free operator Ben Jones far from the Texans.

"We're going to assess the other two consistently and settle on a choice by week's end," Mularkey said.

With the open program recognize, the Titans will get another hostile lineman, however will choose whether or not to add one to the dynamic list or the practice squad.

Kline said he trusts he is grabbing the Titans offense and is attempting to get up to speed.

"Regardless i have a long way to go however despite everything i'm attempting to show signs of improvement consistently and stepping by step," Kline said.

Schwenke said he is cheerful to have another chance to begin.

"You would prefer not to see anyone get hurt, and it sucks about Chance, yet that is the thing that the NFL is about. Somebody will venture up, and that is the thing that one of us will do. We don't know that's identity yet, however we're going to be great on Sunday," Schwenke said.

Different wounds

Notwithstanding Warmack, a few different Titans were performing poorly due to a lack of practice or restricted on Wednesday, most remarkably tight end Delanie Walker, who sat out with a minor hamstring strain. Walker demonstrated that he hopes to play Sunday versus the Raiders.

Tight end Phillip Supernaw was constrained with a lower back strain, while Derrick Morgan and Kendall Wright both did some restricted work after both missed time with hamstring issues.

Cornerback Brice McCain had a wound knee and sat out Wednesday, while Valentino Blake was out with a mid-section injury.
