Tennessee Titans downgrade LB Dorian Mausi to out

Tennessee Titans linebacker Dorian Mausi will need to wait at least a week longer before he can return to playing. On Saturday, the team chose not to activate him from injured reserve and instead downgraded his status to out. Mausi's 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, and he fully participated in all three practices, having returned from a foot injury that kept him from gaining significant playing time during training camp.

The Titans acquired Mausi via waivers from the Minnesota Vikings during the final cuts in 2025, where he became a crucial part of their special teams unit. However, he has not been fully healthy in 2026 due to the foot injury he sustained in training camp, which led to his placement on injured reserve. This move adds to a series of adjustments made by the Titans, which also included the addition of veteran Timmy Horne to the 53-man roster just before their Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns at Nissan Stadium.
