Titans HC Robert Saleh said Friday that rookie Anthony Hill Jr. will keep the starting MLB job after impressing with his communication and defensive checks while starting in place of Cedric Gray (concussion) in Week 1. According to Jim Wyatt of the team website, Saleh added that "Cedric Gray and Cody Barton have unique skill sets and team is working through options."
Titans LB Cedric Gray has entered the league's concussion protocol after a utility terrain vehicle accident over the weekend. That timing makes the starting LB likely to miss Sunday's opener against the Jets.
The Titans drafted Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr. in the second round Saturday. Hill spent nearly two-and-a-half years starting for the Longhorns and made an impact all three seasons. He proved particularly adept at making plays coming forward, evidenced by his 17 career sacks and 31.5 tackles for loss.
Titans LB Kenneth Murray Jr. is active for today's game against the Colts. He makes for a risky IDP option, though, after missing all three practices with the hamstring injury that kept him out two weeks ago. Murray did return last week to play 94% of defensive snaps against the Bengals, though.
Titans LB Jack Gibbens fractured his right leg in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Gibbens is having surgery on the league today and "faces a four-month recovery."
The Rams have agreed to trade LB Ernest Jones to the Titans. Jones recently requested a trade after not landing a contract extension with L.A.
