Titans' Melvin Smith: Claimed off waivers by Tennessee
Rotowire
The Titans claimed Smith off waivers Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
The Chiefs waived Smith on Sunday. The cornerback suffered an injury in Friday's preseason finale against the Seahawks, but has promptly recovered from the minor rib issue. Smith was likely claimed as additional secondary depth because Joshua Williams (pectoral) will miss at least the first four games of the regular season on injured reserve.
Smith (ribs) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday night's preseason finale against the Seahawks.
Smith exited the third quarter with a rib issue and will not return to the game. The undrafted free agent out of Arkansas was fighting for a roster spot and will now likely become a victim of Sunday's cutdown day if he is not placed on season-ending injured reserve.
