Dowell (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Dowell sustained a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee during the Titans' Week 17 loss, so it's no surprise that he'll end his season on IR. The rookie wide receiver out of UT Martin finishes his 2023 campaign with one catch for three yards while also logging three total tackles on 139 special teams snaps.

Titans' Colton Dowell: Plays just one snap on offense
Rotowire
Dowell played 15 total snaps -- 14 on special teams and one on offense -- in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Ravens in London.
Inactive for each of the first three games of his career, Dowell has now dressed in three straight contests, but he has yet to carve out much of a role on offense. The rookie seventh-round pick has played just 16 offensive snaps over the last three weeks, drawing just one target during that span. Dowell could find himself back on the inactive list coming out of the Titans' Week 7 bye if Treylon Burks is able to play after missing each of the past three contests with a knee injury.

Titans' Colton Dowell: Lands with Tennessee in Round 7
Rotowire
The Titans selected Dowell in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 228th overall.
Dowell becomes the first wide receiver drafted by the Titans this year. An impressive athlete given his size (6-foot-3), Dowell registered a 4.42 40-yard dash, 41.5-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot broad jump. As a rookie, he'll look to secure a depth role behind Treylon Burks, Chris Moore, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Kyle Philips.
