Titans’ 53-man roster, practice squad with protections for Week 5

The Tennessee Titans have been bitten by the injury bug to start the 2021 NFL season and will be without some key players in their Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Ahead of the showdown in Duval, the Titans ruled out six, including wide receiver Julio Jones, punter Brett Kern, inside linebacker Jayon Brown, offensive lineman Aaron Brewer, tight end Tommy Hudson, and wide receiver Racey McMath.

Four of those players — Brown, Brewer, Hudson and McMath — have since been placed on Injured Reserve, adding to a list that already included 14 other players.

In corresponding moves, the Titans decided to promote offensive lineman Corey Levin, defensive lineman Amani Bledsoe and linebacker Joe Jones from the practice squad, bringing their roster up to 52 players.

Tennessee also made some new additions to its practice squad during the week after signing outside linebacker John Simon and defensive lineman Caraun Reid.

Now, a complete look at the Titans’ 53-man roster.
