Titans Place DT T'Vondre Sweat on IR for Minimum Four Games

The move leaves a run defense already leaking yardage to face Jonathan Taylor.

Overview

  • Tennessee placed starting defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat on injured reserve Saturday, sidelining him at least four games with an ankle injury.
  • Sweat missed Week 2, practiced only in a limited capacity this week, and was ruled out for Week 3 on Friday before the IR designation.
  • The Titans elevated defensive lineman Carlos Watkins and linebacker Kyzir White from the practice squad and signed offensive tackle John Ojukwu to the active roster.
  • ESPN reports veteran James Lynch will take most of Sweat's snaps, while other outlets indicate Shy Tuttle is likely to step into a larger role.
  • NFL Next Gen Stats show Tennessee is far less efficient against the run without Sweat and Jeffery Simmons, and the Colts' Jonathan Taylor gashed the Titans for 218 yards in their last meeting.
