The Tennessee Titans are back at work in preparation for their Sunday afternoon match-up against the Indianapolis Colts and have made some roster moves ahead of the weekend.
After releasing tackle John Ojukwo on Tuesday, they moved quickly to fill his open roster spot by promoting him from within. The Titans signed tackle Leroy Watson IV from their practice squad to the active roster.
Acquired in April in a trade with the Cleveland Browns for a seventh-round selection in the 2024 NFL draft, the former college tight end saw action in seven games for the Browns during the 2023 season.
The 6-4, 311-pound tackle entered the league as an undrafted free agent from Texas San Antonio (UTSA) and has spent time with the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Browns, and now the Titans.
With quarterback Will Levis battling a shoulder injury, the Titans also announced the signing of quarterback Trevor Siemian to the practice squad.
The veteran signal-caller has some history with head coach Brian Callahan and has seen action in 40 career games. In 33 starts, Siemian has a 15-18 record, throwing for 7,751 yards, 44 touchdowns and 32 interceptions.
The Titans will be the seventh team to reach the journeyman, who has also spent time with the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Head coach Brian Callahan also said the team will be adding Ojukwo back to the practice squad.
