NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans placed cornerback L’Jarius Sneed on injured reserve Thursday with a quadriceps injury.
This is the second straight season the Titans have put Sneed on injured reserve. He played only five games in 2024 after Tennessee acquired the two-time Super Bowl champion in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs and gave him a contract that made Sneed the NFL’s fifth-highest paid cornerback at the time.
Last season, an injured quadriceps also landed him on injured reserve. Sneed, who started training camp on injured reserve, said in August that quadriceps injury was significant and unique, though he didn’t need surgery.
The 28-year-old Sneed — a fourth-round pick for the Chiefs in 2020 — started the first seven games this season for the Titans (1-6), but he couldn’t finish last weekend’s home loss to the New England Patriots. The Titans visit the Indianapolis Colts (6-1) on Sunday in an AFC South Division matchup.
The Titans filled the roster spot opened by Sneed’s move to IR by promoting linebacker Joe Bachie, who has seven starts in 56 career games in the NFL during stints with the Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles. Tennessee also signed receiver Lance McCutcheon to the practice squad.
