Tennessee Titans cornerback Roger McCreary (21) walks off the field post game against the New England Patriots at Nissan Stadium.

The Los Angeles Rams are getting additional help in the secondary ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

The Rams on Monday agreed to acquire cornerback Roger McCreary from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a pick swap. The Titans will receive a fifth-round selection while sending back a sixth-rounder.

McCreary, 25, is in the final year of his rookie contract. He's the second cornerback to be traded by Tennessee's new regime after the team also sent Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to the New York Jets in September.

The former second-round pick out of Auburn helps solidify the back end of a Rams defense that was left vulnerable after starting cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon suffered a broken clavicle in Week 2, landing him on injured reserve.

"We're looking to be able to just add some depth," Rams coach Sean McVay said in a news conference Monday after the deal. "He was a guy that we respect from playing against him earlier this year. Has some inside, outside flexibility….We're excited to get him in."

The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 4.
