NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans<\/a> will be without starting defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat<\/a> when they face the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> on Sunday. The Titans placed Sweat on the reserve\/injured list on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Sweat suffered an ankle injury in Tennessee’s season opening loss to the Denver Broncos<\/a>. The 6-foot-4, 366-pound lineman was not available for last week’s game against the Los Angeles Rams<\/a>. Sweat worked a side field during practice on Wednesday and was seen doing light jogging before taking part in individual period on Thursday. The Titans ruled Sweat out for Week 3 after he missed practice on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, with both starting interior defenders, Jeffery Simmons<\/a> and Sweat on the field last season (309 run plays), the Titans defense allowed 4.3 yards per carry, 10th-fewest among all teams. With one of Sweat or Simmons (96 run plays), the Titans allowed 4.7 yards per carry (6th-most). The average jumps to 5.2 yards per carry with neither Sweat or Simmons on the field (98 run plays), which would be the highest mark in the league.<\/p>\n

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor<\/a> ran for 218 yards when he last faced the Titans in Week 16. Sweat played 40 snaps before getting poked in the eye and missing the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

Veteran defensive tackle James Lynch<\/a> will see the bulk of the action while Sweat is out. The Titans used the standard elevation from the practice squad for defensive tackle Carlos Watkins<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Turron DavenportSep 21, 2025, 07:10 AM CloseTurron Davenport covers the Tennessee Titans for ESPN since 2018.
