92 Mehdi Abdesmad DE

Abdesmad (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

The defensive end suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's loss to the Jaguars, effectively ending his season. In two games with the team, he recorded one tackle and primarily served a reserve role. The Titans promoted Antwaun Woods from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Abdesmad suffered a high ankle sprain in Saturday's loss to Jacksonville, Terry McCormick of TitansInsider.com reports.

A high-ankle sprain can take as long as six weeks to recover from, though it's possible Abdesmad could play through the injury. His practice status this week will give a better indication of his ability to play in Week 17.

Abdesmad was promoted to the Titans' active roster Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

With defensive ends Jurrell Casey (foot) and Karl Klug (Achilles) both dealing with injuries, the Titans decided to promote Abdesmad in the hopes of bolstering their defensive line. The rookie spent the preseason with the Titans before being cut prior to the beginning of the regular season and then was eventually brought back onto the practice squad.
