THE Tennessee Titans are back to work in preparation for their Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins and have made roster changes ahead of the weekend.
Three Titans transactions this afternoon:
Signed to active roster
– LB Luke GiffordPlaced on injured reserve
-CB Chidobe AwuzieSigned to train
-DT McTelvin Agim– Easton Freeze (@eastonfreeze) September 27, 2024
In a head coaching move Brian Callahan mentioned As a possibility earlier in the week, the Titans placed CB Chidobe Awuzie on injured reserve. The veteran cornerback suffered a groin injury against the Green Bay Packers and was sidelined for at least four weeks.
While there has been no update on the severity of the injury, it is likely he will be out for several weeks. In his absence, rookie fifth-round selection Jarvis Brownlee Jr. will likely take on a larger role on defense.
The Titans made a second move Callahan mentioned. To take Awuzie’s place, the Titans promoted LB Luke Gifford to the 53-man active roster. Gifford, who was elevated to the practice squad in the first three games of the season, is a standout on special teams and if he hadn’t been added to the roster, he wouldn’t have been able to be called up.
With an open spot on the practice squad, the Titans added former Denver Broncos third-round pick DT McTelvin Agim to the unit. During his career, he recorded 14 tackles, one tackle for loss and 1.5 sacks for the Broncos, Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans.
