The Tennessee Titans placed veteran cornerback Chidobe Awuzie on injured reserve on Friday due to a groin injury.

Awuzie was injured during last week’s 30-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Awuzie will be sidelined for at least four games. The earliest he can return is Nov. 3 against the New England Patriots.

Awuzie, 29, had four tackles in three starts this season. Overall, he has 373 stops and six interceptions in 89 games (77 starts) with the Dallas Cowboys (2017-20), Cincinnati Bengals (2021-23) and Titans.

Tennessee signed linebacker Luke Gifford from its practice squad to fill the roster opening. Gifford has two tackles in three games this season.

Gifford, 29, has 48 career tackles and one forced fumble in 60 games (one start) with the Cowboys (2019-22) and Titans.

Tennessee (0-3) visits the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.
