Titans elevate QB Trevor Siemian, RB Josh Kelley from practice squad

When the Tennessee Titans take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday, they will have some added reinforcements on hand after a flurry of activity on Saturday.

The Titans elevated quarterback Trevor Siemian and running back Josh Kelley for the contest.

The elevation of Siemian likely means Will Levis will be inactive on Sunday. This move was somewhat expected as Mason Rudolph took most of the first-team reps during the week while Levis was limited with his shoulder injury.

Kelley being activated comes at the cost of Tyjae Spears, who has been battling a hamstring injury. Head coach Brian Callahan was optimistic that Spears would return after missing the past two games but struggled coming back and was limited throughout the week.

With backup Julius Chestnut also on the injury report earlier in the week, Kelley becomes some much-needed insurance at the position.

While announcing the activations, the team downgraded Spears and newly acquired linebacker Jerome Baker to out for Sunday.
