Titans place 2 on IR, promote 3 to active roster among several moves

The Tennessee Titans were back at it making a bunch of roster moves on Saturday, including multiple pertaining to the injured reserve list.

The team announced it has placed running back Dontrell Hilliard on injured reserve due to a neck injury. Hilliard’s injury was thought to be serious after head coach Mike Vrabel ruled him out early in the week.

As for the other injured reserve moves, they don’t involve the activation of linebacker Zach Cunningham, who was designated to return this week. The Titans will once again be without their two starting linebackers.

Tennessee did activate defensive back Lonnie Johnson, though, and he could play a big role upon his return thanks to the slew of injuries the Titans are dealing with in the secondary.

Along with those moves, the Titans elevated two players from the practice squad for Sunday’s game, and promoted three others to the active roster. Here’s a look at all eight moves.
