Petit-Frere (shoulder/knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Titans on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.

That being said, Callahan explained that the offensive lineman will begin training camp on the sidelines for a couple days as he works his way back from a knee "clean-up" procedure. The Titans will officially kick off their training camp Wednesday.

Rotowire
Petit-Frere received a six-game suspension Thursday for violating the NFL's gambling policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Petit-Frere did not bet on NFL contests, but he did bet on games from the team facility, which resulted in the suspension. The 23-year-old released a statement that he did not "knowingly break the rules" and was "unaware about the specifics around placing bets from a team facility." However, he'll be available to help the team during training camp and get himself prepared when he can return to the roster.
