The Tennessee Titans placed cornerback Joshua Williams and linebacker Dorian Mausi on injured reserve following the league's roster reduction deadline on Sunday. Both players receive a designation to return, meaning they must miss the first four games of the regular season. Williams, who signed with the team this offseason, has been sidelined by a pectoral injury aggravated during a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Mausi also sustained an injury during the same contest against the 49ers. The team's coaching staff confirmed the medical moves after the preseason finale against the Chicago Bears. The Titans maintained five linebackers on the initial 53-man roster, while the team may now seek additional depth at the cornerback position.
