Titans place CB L’Jarius Sneed on injured reserve with injured quadricep muscle

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans placed cornerback L'Jarius Snead on injured reserve Thursday with a quadriceps injury.

This is the second straight season the Titans have placed Sneed on injured reserve. He played just five games in 2024 after Tennessee traded the two-time Super Bowl champion to Kansas City and gave him a contract that made Sneed the fifth-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL at the time.

He was also placed on injured reserve last season due to a quadriceps injury. Sneed, who began training camp on injured reserve, said in August that the quadriceps injury was serious and unique, although he did not require surgery.

Snead started the first seven games for the Titans (1-6), but was unable to finish last week's loss to the Patriots. The Titans visit Indianapolis (6-1) on Sunday.

The Titans filled a roster spot by promoting linebacker Joe Bachie, who has seven starts in 56 games over a stint with New Orleans, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. They also signed wide receiver Lance McCutcheon to the practice squad.
