Rice left Sunday’s game against the Patriots with an ankle injury after just 19 snaps.
The Titans selected Rice in the third-round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Georgia. With all of the injuries to Tennessee’s defensive unit, he’s seen his role grow quite a bit. Especially with Rashaan Evans and David Long Jr. sidelined.
Rice has started four of the last five games for the AFC South-leading Titans. In 10 games, the 22-year-old LB has tallied 36 tackles with a quarterback hit and a pass defensed.
Another day, another bit of inj. news:
—#Titans place rookie LB Monty Rice (ankle) on IR, meaning he has to miss at least next 3 games.
–He becomes 4th of team’s 8 rookies on IR, joining Caleb Farley, Rashad Weaver and Racey McMath.
–Also, Titans waive WR Austin Mack from PS.— John Glennon (@glennonsports) November 30, 2021
Also on Tuesday, the team announced it waived wide receiver Austin Mack from the practice squad.
Tennessee has a much-needed bye week before taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14. The Titans are currently on a two-game skid after winning six straight dating back to October 10.
