The Tennessee Titans have added some depth to the 53-man roster along the offensive line after signing veteran tackle Marshall Newhouse from their practice squad.
Newhouse was signed to Tennessee’s practice squad in late November and was elevated for the Week 13 game versus the Cleveland Browns. He offers some versatility thanks to his experience playing both guard and tackle spots.
Adding another tackle to the active roster became necessary after 2020 first-round pick and offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list on Wednesday.
With the addition of Newhouse, the Titans now have eight offensive linemen on their roster and three more on the practice squad. It’s possible one more gets added, as the team recently held a visit with tackle Jake Rodgers.
It has been an injury-filled season for the Titans at the left tackle spot, as Taylor Lewan tore his ACL in Week 6, and his replacement, Ty Sambrailo, was lost for the season after suffering an injury in Week 11.
Veteran tackle David Quessenberry is the third player to start at the position for Tennessee this season. Thankfully for the Titans, the rest of the team’s original starting offensive line remains intact.
The Titans will return to action on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14.
