Former University of Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs is signing with the Tennessee Titans, according to his agent Mike McCartney on Twitter.

This move by the Titans comes with just three games left in the regular season as Ryan Tannehill continues to struggle with injuries.

Dobbs had an extremely successful career as the Volunteers starting QB where he threw for 7,138 yards and 53 touchdowns, and ran for 2,160 yards and 32 touchdowns. He led the Vols to three-straight bowl wins, including a win at the 2016 Music City Bowl.

He was previously on the Detroit Lions practice squad, and was drafted by the Pittsburg Steeler in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft where he served as a backup.

No announcement has been made to whether Dobbs or current backup QB Malik Willis will start against the Houston Texans on Saturday (Dec. 24) at Nissan Stadium.
