NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Titans announced on Monday that they have activated offensive tackle Jaelyn Duncan from Injured Reserve. This move comes as the team looks to strengthen its roster ahead of an important divisional matchup.
Duncan, who has appeared in four games this season and started in two of them, suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s October 20 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Following the injury, he was placed on Injured Reserve but had been moved to the Designated for Return list earlier this month. His activation signals his readiness to rejoin the team and contribute on the field.
In a corresponding roster move, the Titans waived kicker Brayden Narveson. Narveson stepped in as the team’s kicker during Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, filling in for veteran kicker Nick Folk, who was sidelined due to injury. Narveson’s performance was part of a temporary solution for the Titans’ kicking situation, but with Folk’s potential return on the horizon, the team has decided to release Narveson.
The Titans are now turning their attention to a crucial Week 16 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. This game carries significant implications as the team works to stay competitive within the AFC South. Duncan’s return to the active roster is expected to bolster the team’s offensive line, which has faced challenges this season. His presence could provide additional protection for the quarterback and support for the running game as the Titans look to build momentum late in the season.
The decision to waive Narveson indicates confidence in Nick Folk’s recovery or a potential alternative solution for the kicking duties moving forward. With Sunday’s game against Jacksonville on the horizon, the Titans continue to fine-tune their roster to ensure they are in the best position to compete.
Duncan’s activation is a positive development for the Titans, and his contributions could prove valuable as the team enters a critical stretch of the season. Fans will be eager to see how these roster changes impact the team’s performance in the coming weeks.
