The Tennessee Titans announced a total of five moves on Saturday in advance of their Week 10 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The biggest of the bunch is the placement of offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere on injured reserve. Petit-Frere, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, will miss at least the next four games.
However, it will reportedly be longer than that, as Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky reported earlier in the week that NPF’s shoulder injury would require surgery and he’s likely to miss the remainder of the season.
The team has yet to confirm that, though.
With NPF out, the Titans will need to fill the void at left tackle. There’s also a void at right guard this week, as Daniel Brunskill has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
Fans rightly want to see Dillon Radunz get the next crack at left tackle with the team unwilling to move Peter Skoronski over from left guard.
But as much as fans don’t want to hear it, chances are the Titans will deploy Andre Dillard in NPF’s stead and Radunz in place of Brunskill. Both players were spotted practicing at those positions during the week.
Now, a look at the rest of the moves the Titans made ahead of Sunday.
