Titans activate two, put starting LB Long Jr. on IR

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans activated wide receiver Racey McMath and defensive back Josh Thompson off injured reserve for their game against Jacksonville, but put starting inside linebacker David Long Jr. on that list with an injured hamstring.

Long was sidelined by the injury last week. Tennessee has 15 players on injured reserve — starting inside linebacker Zach Cunningham went on the list Nov. 12 with an injured elbow.

The Titans (7-5) host the Jaguars on Sunday.

McMath went on injured reserve on Aug. 31 with a broken hip, and both he and Thompson resumed practicing with the team Wednesday.

McMath, a sixth-round pick out of LSU in 2021, has two career catches and has mostly been a special teams player for Tennessee.

With wide receiver Treylon Burks among six Titans out against Jacksonville (4-8), Tennessee signed wide receiver Chris Conley along with linebacker Jack Gibbens and cornerback Greg Mabin from the practice squad.

The Titans waived defensive lineman Larrell Murchison and offensive lineman Jordan Roos. They are elevating running back Julius Chestnut, who became the 76th person to play for the Titan last week, along with defensive back Davontae Harris.
