This is a massive loss for the Titans\u2019 defense, which has struggled to stop the run through two games in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>To take his place on the active 53-man roster, the Titans signed offensive tackle John Ojukwu, who will likely be active in a depth role with starting right tackle JC Latham already ruled out for Sunday\u2019s matchup with the Colts.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/titanswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/titans\/2025\/09\/20\/tennessee-titans-tvondre-sweat-placed-on-injured-reserve\/86271085007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tennessee Titans&#039; T&#039;Vondre Sweat placed on injured reserve;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Tennessee Titans&#8217; T&#8217;Vondre Sweat placed on injured reserve<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tennessee Titans made a surprise move on Saturday by placing defensive tackle T\u2019Vondre Sweat on injured reserve,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[10975,2793,258,7,392,1711,8059,35126,58,6,50711,10034,20209,526,394,2411,4045,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-384411","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-ankle-injury","9":"tag-defensive-tackle","10":"tag-denver-broncos","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-injured-reserve","14":"tag-jc-latham","15":"tag-john-ojukwu","16":"tag-los-angeles-rams","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-paul-kuharsky","19":"tag-sweat","20":"tag-tvondre-sweat","21":"tag-tennessee","22":"tag-tennessee-titans","23":"tag-tennesseetitans","24":"tag-the-titans","25":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115240057469130301","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
