Titans downgrade Rashaan Evans to out, make 3 roster moves

The Tennessee Titans will be without one of their starting linebackers in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts, as Rashaan Evans has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s contest.

Evans was a new addition to the injury report on Friday with an ankle issue and did not practice.

Aside from starter David Long, the Titans have four other linebackers on their roster currently in Nick Dzubnar, Joe Jones, Avery Williamson and Monty Rice. Jayon Brown has not been activated off IR yet.

Williamson, who was signed by the Titans a little over two weeks ago, figures to get at least the majority of snaps from that group.

Tennessee made three roster moves on Saturday, including signing fullback Tory Carter to the active roster, which comes on the heels of fellow fullback Khari Blasingame being ruled out.

The Titans have also elevated running back Dontrell Hilliard and defensive lineman Eli Ankou from the practice squad. Both will revert back after the game.
