The Tennessee Titans announced a series of roster adjustments on Saturday, headlined by the decision to place left guard Peter Skoronski and punter Tommy Townsend on injured reserve.
Skoronski had been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday due to a hamstring injury, according to reports from Yahoo Sports.
The team confirmed that his absence will extend well beyond the upcoming weekend contest.
Joining him on the injured reserve list is punter Tommy Townsend, who is dealing with both knee and Achilles issues, as noted by Yahoo Sports.
Under NFL regulations, both players are now required to miss a minimum of four games while they recover from their respective injuries.
In addition to these moves, the Titans confirmed that they have officially waived running back Michael Carter.
To address the resulting vacancies on the active roster, the organization signed three veteran players.
The new additions include guard Chandler Zavala, defensive back Isaiah Oliver, and punter Thomas Morestead.
The team also looked to its practice squad to provide additional depth for the immediate future.
Wide receiver Xavier Restrepo and linebacker Dominique Hampton were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster to round out the day’s personnel transactions.
These roster shifts come as the Titans prepare for their upcoming divisional matchup against the Jaguars.
The team is looking to manage its personnel effectively while navigating a series of health challenges impacting key starters.
The coaching staff and front office will now rely on the newly signed veterans and practice squad elevations to fill the gaps created by the move to injured reserve.
The team has not yet provided a specific timeline for the potential return of either Skoronski or Townsend beyond the mandatory four-game window.
Fans and analysts will be monitoring the performance of the reshuffled offensive line and special teams unit during the coming weeks of play.
