The Tennessee Titans placed offensive guard Peter Skoronski and punter Tommy Townsend on injured reserve Saturday ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the roster moves Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter, as Tennessee (1-7) prepares to host Jacksonville (6-2) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on Fox.
“Titans placed G Peter Skoronski and P Tommy Townsend on Injured Reserve,” Schefter wrote.
Both players will miss at least four games under the NFL's injured reserve rules, leaving Tennessee without two contributors as it attempts to turn around its disappointing season.
Skoronski's absence creates another challenge for the Titans' offensive line. The former first-round pick has been a key part of Tennessee's blocking unit since the organization selected him with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Meanwhile, Townsend's placement on injured reserve leaves the Titans needing another option at punter. The veteran previously spent four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning two Super Bowl championships before continuing his NFL career elsewhere.
Titans look to bounce back against Jaguars following Week 9 bye
The Titans return to action following their Week 9 bye, hoping to snap a two-game losing streak.
Tennessee last played in Week 8, when it suffered a 43-36 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite scoring 36 points, the Titans struggled defensively and failed to secure their second victory of the season.
The organization now faces another difficult matchup against a Jaguars team that enters Sunday with a 6-2 record.
Jacksonville will look to strengthen its position in the AFC playoff race, while Tennessee attempts to avoid its eighth loss of the season.
With Skoronski and Townsend sidelined for at least four games, the Titans must adjust their offensive line and special teams units as they enter the second half of their schedule.
