The Tennessee Titans will be getting right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere back two games earlier than originally planned.
According to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, Petit-Frere’s suspension has been reduced from six to four games after the NFL and NFLPA came to an agreement on a new gambling policy.

So, this means Petit-Frere will be able to return to action in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Here’s a look at the new agreement, per Jones.

The Titans have been rolling with veteran Chris Hubbard at right tackle in NPF’s place, and while he’s played well overall through three games, the bloom started coming off the rose in Week 3, when Hubbard gave up two sacks and three pressures in a losing effort.
NPF was able to rejoin the team at the facility earlier this week and work out. He’ll be ready to roll for Week 5.
