Tennessee Titans add DT Timmy Horne to 53-man roster
Timmy Horne returns to the Titans active roster following the surprising trade of star Jeffery Simmons.
Defensive tackle Timmy Horne of the Tennessee Titans experienced a rapid succession of events in recent weeks. Just a day after being signed to the Titans' practice squad following his release from the 53-man roster to accommodate defensive tackle Jonah Laulu, Horne was re-signed to the active roster. This move came as a result of general manager Mike Borgonzi's surprising trade of Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears, thus creating a vacancy in the roster.
Horne's decision to return to the active roster is logical, considering his familiarity with the Titans' defense and his active presence on game days. Over the past two games, Horne has contributed significantly, recording a total of five tackles. In contrast, rookie Jackie Marshall has been inactive for the entire season. With Horne expected to have more playing time this week, it is plausible that Marshall will make her debut as a starter in the upcoming week and potentially secure a spot in the rotation.
Meanwhile, Laulu will have time to adjust to the new defensive scheme following his arrival from Las Vegas.
The Tennessee Titans will soon return to action on Sunday when they face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8 action.
