Titans’ Kevin Byard Placed On Reserve/Covid-19 List

Titans Pro Bowl safety Kevin Byard is the latest player to be sidelined with injury or illness as he’s been placed on the reserve/Covid List.

Byard has been one of the team’s keys to success this season, leading the defense with 64 tackles and five interceptions. He is tied for third in the league.

The Titans injuries and deactivated players continue to pile up after Derrick Henry was placed on the injured reserve after needing foot surgery. Tennessee is also without star wide receivers AJ Brown and Julio Jones. Brown suffered a chest injury during the Nov. 21 game against the Texans, meaning he will miss a few games. Jones has been out since Week 9 with a hamstring injury.

Tennessee has lost two straight games against the Texans and the New England Patriots after winning six straight. They now head into their bye week, but will face the last place Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 12.
