Tennessee Titans safety, Kenny Vaccaro, was added to the injury report on Saturday with an illness and has now been ruled out for the Week 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
For Vaccaro, this will be the second game he misses this season, with the first coming in Week 11 versus the Baltimore Ravens when he was dealing with a neck injury.
In his place, the Titans will likely deploy 2019 fourth-round pick, safety Amani Hooker, who saw 98 percent of the snaps when Vaccaro last sat out.
The loss of Vaccaro leaves the Titans’ secondary even more short-handed, as both Breon Borders and Adoree’ Jackson were ruled out on Friday. Borders has since been placed on Injured Reserve and will miss the next three weeks.
.@Titans safety S Kenny Vaccaro has been downgraded to OUT for today’s game vs @Jaguars with an illness.

Earlier in the week, the Titans activated defensive back Chris Jackson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and on Saturday cornerback Kareem Orr was activated from IR. Both could see an expanded role on Sunday, along with Tye Smith.
