The Titans won a game on Sunday, but may have lost one of their starting linebackers for the year.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt confirmed that Zach Brown has a torn pectoral that could sideline him for the remainder of the season. Brown will have more tests on Tuesday, but it doesn’t sound promising for his return to the lineup.

“He was really doing a nice job, so I’m disappointed for Zach,” Whisenhunt said, via the Tennessean. “To me, it means a lot when you do what is being asked of you and you change the perception of you. And I was hopeful that would continue from the standpoint of him having a good season. At this point, this juncture, it won’t, and that’s too bad.”

Brown, who has started 28 of the last 33 games for the Titans, didn’t record any statistics before being knocked out of Sunday’s game. Zaviar Gooden had four tackles in his place and is the logical choice to take over for the long term.
