Titans sign Thomas Morstead as punter amid Townsend injury concerns
Summary

The Tennessee Titans have signed punter Thomas Morstead to their practice squad on October 28 as Tommy Townsend recovers from a knee injury sustained against the Cleveland Browns on October 25. Head Coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Townsend is still experiencing pain and his availability for the game against Cincinnati on November 1 remains uncertain. As a precaution, Morstead, a veteran punter previously with several NFL teams, including the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets, has been brought in. Additionally, the Titans will be without wide receiver Carnell Tate at practice due to a shoulder issue, along with running back Tyjae Spears and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers for maintenance.
