Titans quarterback Charlie Whitehurst has been bothered by a hand injury for the last couple of weeks, forcing him to miss practice and the team’s third preseason game.
Whitehurst has been able to throw, but hasn’t taken snaps since his injury and that leaves the team in need of some insurance for rookie Zach Mettenberger on Thursday. The team acquired that insurance on Tuesday by signing former Falcons quarterback Dominique Davis. Barring another injury, Davis will likely be off the roster when the team drops to 53 players.
The Titans also made several other moves to drop down to 75 players. Linebacker Colin McCarthy went on injured reserve after having shoulder surgery and offensive lineman Gabe Ikard was waived-injured after suffering an ACL injury.
Linebacker David Hinds and wide receiver Isaiah Williams were also waived on Tuesday.
