The Tennessee Titans have placed cornerback Caleb Farley and receiver/return man Cameron Batson on Injured Reserve after both sustained knee injuries in Monday night’s win against the Buffalo Bills.

Farley, the Titans 2021 first round draft pick, is most likely done for the year with an ACL tear according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“He was very emotional [on Monday night]. I told him that rest assured, we were going to take care of him physically and mentally,” said Head Coach Mike Vrabel at a press conference on Tuesday. “The biggest thing is when you are dealing with some of these injuries you have to be willing to talk to people and be willing to let people help you that have either been there or that can help you through it. It is going to be a long process and I am confident that he will be back better and strong, but it is unfortunate.”

The team activated safety Brady Breeze from Injured Reserve on Tuesday (Oct. 19). Breeze, a sixth-round draft pick of the team in the 2021 NFL Draft, began practicing with the team at the end of September after being moved to the Designated for Return list.

Additionally, the Titans waived punter Johnny Townsend from the active roster on Tuesday. Townsend punted for the Titans in the last three games in place of Brett Kern, who went on the team’s COVID-19 list earlier this month.

On Wednesday (Oct. 20), the Titans signed defensive back Greg Mabin to the team’s active roster. Mabin, who previously spent time with the Titans, had been on the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad. He will help on defense following Farley’s injury.

The Titans also signed offensive lineman Bobby Hart to the team’s active roster. Hart comes in after starter Taylor Lewan was injured in Monday night’s game, going into concussion protocol. Hart had been on the practice squad of the Buffalo Bills.

Finally, the Titans moved center/guard Daniel Munyer and defensive lineman Larrell Murchison to the team’s Designated for Return from Injured Reserve list.

The Titans return to Nissan Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 24 to face the reigning AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
