Titans rule out RB Tony Pollard, S Amani Hooker

The Titans downgraded running back Tony Pollard (ankle/illness) and safety Amani Hooker (shoulder) to out for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, the team announced.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that it’s the flu that will keep Pollard out.

Pollard has 238 carries for a career-high 1,017 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games.

The Titans also announced they promoted kicker Matthew Wright from the team’s practice squad for Sunday’s game. The team already ruled out veteran kicker Nick Folk.

Wright has made 11-of-12 field goals and all five extra point opportunities this season in one game with San Francisco and two games with Kansas City.

The Titans also signed guard Arlington Hambright and linebacker Raekwon McMillan to the active roster. They released defensive backs Tre Avery and Gabe Jeudy-Lally from the active roster in corresponding moves.

Offensive tackle Chandler Brewer and defensive back Gervarrius Owens will be gameday elevations from the practice squad.
