QB INJURIES HAVE TITANS SCRAMBLING

-

The Tennessee Titans have added a quarterbac­k with

Marcus Mariota dealing with an injured elbow and backup Blaine Gabbert in the concussion protocol.

The Titans made a flurry of moves Tuesday agreeing to terms with veteran quarterbac­k Austin Davis.

They also placed offensive lineman Kevin Pamphile on injured reserve to create a roster spot after he started the last two games.

Davis joins his sixth NFL team after starting his career with the then-St. Louis Rams in 2012 as a rookie free agent out of Southern Mississipp­i. The 6-foot-2, 221-pound Davis also has been with Miami, Cleveland, Denver and Seattle, and he has started 10 of his 16 career games. He appeared in three games last season with Seattle without throwing a single pass.

BILLS, PANTHERS DEAL

The Carolina Panthers have addressed their injurydepl­eted offensive line by acquiring veteran Marshall

Newhouse in a trade with the Buffalo Bills.

Buffalo acquired a conditiona­l draft pick from Carolina in the trade on Tuesday. The Bills then filled Newhouse’s spot by signing offensive lineman Jeremiah

Sirles to a one-year contract. Sirles was cut by the Panthers three weeks ago. He has three seasons of NFL experience, including starting 28 games with Minnesota in 2016 and ’17.

Carolina was missing three offensive line starters in a 31-21 win over Cincinnati on Sunday. Tackles Matt Kalil and Daryl Williams are on injured reserve, while guard

Trai Turner did not play because of a concussion.

Newhouse has experience playing tackle and guard in 70 starts over nine seasons but has playing just 14 snaps in Buffalo’s first three games.
