Titans Place Rookie Femi Oladejo on IR After Leg Fracture, Promote Ali Gaye
Coaches anticipate a multiweek absence that reshapes the Titans' pass-rush rotation.
Overview
- The team moved Oladejo to injured reserve on Tuesday after he fractured his leg in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders.
- Edge rusher Ali Gaye was elevated to the 53-man roster, while TE Thomas Odukoya was waived and OT John Ojukwu joined the practice squad.
- Reporting indicates the injury is not expected to end Oladejo’s season, with an estimated timeline of at least about a month.
- Snap distribution is expected to tilt toward Jihad Ward alongside Dre’Mont Jones, with Jaylen Harrell a candidate for increased time as Arden Key manages a quad issue.
- Interim head coach Mike McCoy oversees preparations for the next game as Tennessee adjusts defensive depth following the rookie’s setback.
