Titans place two players on PUP list on first day of training camp

The Tennessee Titans officially opened up training camp on Tuesday, which is usually met with excitement about a fresh slate. However, the Titans placed two players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere and wide receiver Colton Dowell will not participate when the team takes the field for practice on Wednesday. However, Petit-Frere could only be out for a brief time.

“(Petit-Frere) will be on the Active-PUP, which will be a couple of days as we start,” Callahan said via AtoZ Sports Nashville. “His injury is not related to his shoulder. His shoulder has been cleared. He had a clean-up surgery in the offseason after the first couple weeks of our offseason program.”

Petit-Frere will look to bounce back after an uneven 2023 campaign. The former 2022 third-rounder was suspended for the first five games of the season, lost his starting job, and logged three games before the shoulder injury in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Dowell suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in Week 17’s matchup against the Houston Texans. The 2023 seventh-round draft pick finished his rookie season with one reception for three years in ten games, including one start.
