Titans rule out Dupree, activate Johnson from IR among handful of moves

The Tennessee Titans made a handful of moves on Saturday ahead of the Week 5 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Outside linebacker Bud Dupree and offensive lineman Ty Sambrailo have both been downgraded to out. Dupree has now missed two games in a row after being active in Week 3 but not playing a single snap.

Earlier in the week, Dupree admitted he had suffered some setbacks in his recovery from a torn ACL. The 28-year-old did practice all week, though, including getting in a full session on Friday.

The Titans have activated wide receiver Marcus Johnson from Injured Reserve, making him eligible to play on Sunday.

In other moves, Tennessee has promoted outside linebacker John Simon to the active roster from the practice squad, while also waiving fellow outside linebacker Sharif Finch.

Also, the team has elevated defensive lineman Caraun Reid and safety Jamal Carter from the practice squad. Both players will revert back following Sunday’s contest.
