Titans Sign WR Chris Conley As Injuries Continue To Pile Up

/in /by

The Titans have signed receiver Chris Conley off the Kansas City Chief’s practice squad after putting Kyle Phillips on the Injured Reserve (IR).

Conley, a third-round draft pick by the Chiefs in the 2015 draft, has played with the Chiefs, Jaguars and Texans during his NFL career. He joins receivers Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Cody Hollister on the active roster.

In 102 career games, Conley has 213 catches for 2,807 yards and 15 touchdowns. He played in two games for the Texans in 2022, but didn’t record a catch. Conley’s best season came in 2019 with the Jaguars, as he caught 47 passes for 775 yards and five touchdowns.

Philips joined fellow wideout and 2022 draft pick Treylon Burks on IR. Injuries are adding up on the Titans squad leaving gaps on the offensive line, defense and more. Linebackers Zach Cunningham, Joe Jones and Bud Dupree have all dealt with injuries so far this season, being sidelinesd for multiple games, including last Sunday’s performance against the Indianapolis Colts.

These defensive stars join guard Nate Davis and center Ben Jones on the IR. The Titans dealt with more setbacks as Ryan Tannehill suffered an ankle injury against the Colts and did not practice on Wednesday (Oct. 26). Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who’s also suffering an ankle injury, did not practice Wednesday either.

Despite the injuries, the Titans have found themselves in first place in the AFC South after winning four straight, including two over the Colts.

Tennessee heads to Houston to play the 1-4-1 Texans on Sunday (Oct. 30) at 3:05 p.m. CT.
