NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans started the season thinking they had all the answers. Now they only have questions.

The defending AFC Central champs are 0-3, the number of games they lost in each of the past two seasons. They are one of four winless teams in the NFL and the only one that can't use rebuilding as an excuse.

The scary thought is that losing 26-7 to Baltimore might not even be the low point, with Tampa Bay (2-1) visiting Sunday.

"We're definitely at the crossroads," All-Pro running back Eddie George said. "It's very critical in how we handle the situation. This is new for us. All I can say is that we'll be back."

It will be much tougher because the Titans learned Monday that All-Pro cornerback Samari Rolle may be out 3-to-4 weeks with a bruised spinal cord.

George was having an MRI for a possible high ankle sprain that could keep him out this week. The lengthy injury list also included a broken thumb for starting middle linebacker Randall Godfrey.

Still, Fisher said he believes in his team and trusts his players, which he thinks is mutual.

"We're going to find a solution."
