Titans LB McCarthy heads to IR

Published November 20, 2014

The Tennessee Titans placed middle linebacker Colin McCarthy on injured reserve prior to Sunday's season finale against Jacksonville after he continued to experience symptoms from a concussion sustained last month.

McCarthy exited a Nov. 25 loss to the Jaguars with a head injury and has sat out the team's last four games as a result. The second-year pro also missed time earlier this season because of a sprained ankle.

The injuries limited the 2011 fourth-round pick to just seven contests this season, with McCarthy recording 38 tackles and one interception that he returned 49 yards for a touchdown against Miami in Week 10.

To fill the available roster spot, the Titans promoted fullback Collin Mooney to the active roster from the practice squad.
