The Titans placed Awuzie (groin) on injured reserve Friday. Coach Brian Callahan had already said this move was coming this week. Awuzie started all three games to begin the season, registering four tackles (three solo) before going down last week against the Packers. Look for Jarvis Brownlee to enter the rotation at cornerback alongside L'Jarius Sneed and Roger McCreary for Tennessee. Awuzie will be eligible to return in Week 9 against the Patriots since the Titans have a Week 5 bye.

Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters Wednesday that Awuzie (groin) will likely be placed on injured reserve at some point this week, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Callahan said Monday that Awuzie's groin issue would sideline him for weeks, so his expected move to IR comes as no surprise. With Awuzie missing extended time, Jarvis Brownlee is anticipated to be the next man up in the Titans' secondary, starting opposite L'Jarius Sneed as part of the team's top outside cornerback duo.

Head coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Awuzie's groin injury will keep him out for weeks, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Awuzie exited Sunday's loss to the Packers early with the injury and was unable to return. Any extended absence, which it appears he is facing, will be a blow to the Titans' secondary and lead to extra opportunities for Jarvis Brownlee and Darrell Baker.

Awuzie (groin) has exited Sunday's game against the Vikings, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Awuzie is questionable to return, but his exit will leave the Titans down one of their starting cornerbacks for now. While he's on the sidelines, Jarvis Brownlee will likely be tasked with stepping in opposite L'Jarius Sneed in the secondary.
