The Tennessee Titans have placed running back Senorise Perry on Injured Reserve and will promote fellow running back Jeremy McNichols from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced on Wednesday.
We first got word that McNichols was being added to the 53-man roster by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, although it wasn’t clear whose spot he was going to take.
We initially thought this might be bad news for rookie Darrynton Evans, who has been hampered by a hamstring injury and has yet to make his NFL debut.
Perry has been active for both games for the Titans this season, but has played mostly on special teams. He did get a pair of carries in Week 2, turning them into nine yards.
McNichols has been protected on Titans’ practice squad for each of the first games, but has been activated on game day for both with Evans out. He carried the ball twice for seven yards in Week 2.
Until Evans makes his debut, which could come this week, McNichols will get the scraps behind starter Derrick Henry, who has dominated the touches as expected through the first two weeks.
