Titans get to 75-man roster limit

Marc Mariani

The Tennessee Titans trimmed their roster to 75 players on Sunday, releasing 11 players, putting Marc Mariani on injured reserve and placing Markelle Martin on reserve/PUP.

Those released by the Titans include no surprises. They were kicker Will Batson, offensive linemen George Bias, William Vlachos and Jonathan Palmer, receivers Marcus Harris, LaQuinton Evans and Chase Deadder, quarterback Nick Stephens, safety Christian Scott, tight end Joey Haynos and running back Herb Donaldson.

Mariani was placed on IR following surgery for a compound fracture on his left leg suffered on a kickoff return Thursday night against Arizona.

Martin has been out for all of training camp with a knee injury that he had scoped just before the start of camp. Martin will be eligible to return after six weeks of the regular season.
