The Tennessee Titans will be without two more starters on defense for the rest of the season.
Just one day after placing safety Amani Hooker on injured reserve, the team announced it has placed linebackers Jack Gibbens and Luke Gifford and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons on IR.
Simmons had missed the previous two games after suffering an unspecified knee injury. Gibbens and Gifford were listed with ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively, on this week’s injury report.
Taking their spots on the roster are linebacker JoJo Domann and offensive linemen Andrew Rupcich and John Ojukwu, all of whom were promoted from the practice squad.
Finally, the Titans are elevating defensive backs Tay Gowan and Shyheim Carter for the Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Both will revert back to the practice squad after the game.
Tennessee and Seattle will do battle at Nissan Stadium on Sunday, with kickoff set for noon CST.
