NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans will be without kicker Joey Slye when they visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday because of an injured right calf.
Slye made the game-winning 29-yard field goal last week, lifting the Titans to their first victory of the season 22-21 over the Arizona Cardinals. Slye, who missed an extra point earlier in the fourth quarter, was dealing with the calf injury when he made the kick as time expired for the Titans (1-4).
“It’s one of those things where afterward, it can get worse. It can feel worse a day or two after. Hopefully, it’s nothing long-term,” coach Brian Callahan said Friday.
The Titans held kicker tryouts two weeks ago and signed Matthew Wright to the practice squad Wednesday. He'll be elevated to the active roster for the game.
