I hope I'm wrong but I've been told by two sources Frank Wycheck has passed due to CTE complications.
Nothing official yet.
Edit: Kuharsky has reported it.
Edit 2: he apparently fell in his home.
From the Titans:
Former Titans Tight End Frank Wycheck Dies at Age 52
Sad day.

Oh no. That is just so sad. He was one of the great Titans and seriously a nice guy. Gone way too soon.
Just saw this.
RIP Frank.
Great TE and a huge part of the greatest era in franchise history.
He was only 52.
I believe he openly talked openly about the amount of concussions he received playing ball and I imagine there will be talk about CTE.

Maybe the best throw in franchise history.
same
never met Frank, Steve or Eddie but respected them all as pros
only Eddie left. Guess I could add Blane to the list... sure why not
He talked a lot over the years about how bad he struggled with symptoms from concussions. It’s why he stepped away from radio.
The reports are stating he fell and hit his head and was unresponsive afterwards.
Seems a little strange but I’m sure more details will be coming out.

Truly one of the best and a solid part of my childhood. He definitely is a huge reason why I love this team. RIP #89.
It is with great sadness that the family of Frank Wycheck has confirmed his death.
Born Frank John Wycheck on October 14, 1971, he passed away in his home on Saturday, December 9, 2023 at the age of 52.
Frank Wycheck spent 11 seasons in the NFL
(1993 - 2003), primarily with the Tennessee Titans.
At this time, it appears Wycheck fell inside his Chattanooga, TN home and hit his head on
Saturday morning.
He was found unresponsive
that afternoon.
Wycheck moved to Chattanooga, TN this past summer to be closer to his family. He leaves behind two adult daughters, Deanna and Madison, both married, and three grandchildren - Leo, Stevie and August.
The family, per his wishes, plans to work with experts for on-going brain injury (TBI) and CTE research. Funeral services have not yet been made at this time.
The Wycheck family appreciates the love and support they've received, but asks the public to please respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Not surprised that was unable to survive a head injury. His brain had been damaged pretty badly already. Sure wish this hadn't happened. Hope his family can find strength and peace through this. Titans legend!
