DeAndre Hopkins Won't need surgery

Titans head coach Brian Callahan confirmed Saturday that Hopkins (knee) will be out "several weeks" and indicated that the receiver won't require surgery, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Hopkins' initial diagnosis for his strained knee indicated he could miss 4-to-6 weeks, and that timeline seems to be accurate given Callahan's comments. In positive news, the fact that Hopkins won't require surgery suggests that the injury isn't likely to sideline Hopkins beyond the first week or two of the regular season, if he misses any games at all. It's still unclear whether Hopkins could be ready for Week 1, but if he does miss regular-season time, Treylon Burks and Tyler Boyd would be the most obvious candidates for increased volume on offense.
