NASHVILLE – The Titans made a number of roster moves on Tuesday, including promoting offensive lineman Justin Murray from the practice squad to the active roster.
Also on Tuesday, the Titans placed running back Julius Chestnut and safety Mike Brown on Injured Reserve. Both Chestnut and Brown were injured in Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Murray, who played in college at Cincinnati, has worked at guard and tackle in his career.
