Tennessee Titans center Ben Jones (concussion) and kicker Randy Bullock (calf) are among four starters ruled out for Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

The team on Wednesday also ruled out safety Amani Hooker (shoulder) and outside linebacker Bud Dupree (hip). Backup safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. (hamstring) has also been ruled out for the Week 11 opener.

Jones had started every game this season. This will be the second consecutive game missed for Dupree, while Hooker hasn’t played since Week 8.

The Titans tabbed journeyman Josh Lambo to replace Bullock. The team promoted Lambo to the 53-man roster on Wednesday. The Titans signed Lambo to the practice squad on Tuesday. It’ll mark Lambo’s first action in 2022.

Also, starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been removed from the injury report after two consecutive days of full participation in practice. He played last week for the first time in three weeks after injuring his ankle.

The Titans also waived wide receiver Chris Conley.

Bullock suffered a right (kicking leg) calf injury in last week’s game.

In 78 career games, Lambo has made 87.1 percent of his field goal tries and 89.9 percent of his PATs.

Lambo learned Wednesday that a judge dismissed his lawsuit against his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lambo filed suit in May, alleging that former coach Urban Meyer created a hostile work environment that contributed to Lambo’s on-field performance dropping. Lambo alleged that Meyer kicked him and swore at him while he was working out in August 2021 before the Jaguars’ preseason finale.

Lambo’s attorney, Betsy Brown, told ESPN on Wednesday that they intend to file an amended complaint.

The Titans elevated linebacker Joe Schobert and defensive lineman Larrell Murchison to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Tuesday.

The Houston Texans claimed return specialist Amari Rodgers off waivers Wednesday, one day after he was released by the Green Bay Packers, multiple outlets reported.

It’s the second consecutive day the Texans have claimed another team’s castoff. The Texans claimed running back Eno Benjamin off waivers Tuesday from the Arizona Cardinals.

Rodgers was a third-round pick (85th overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Rodgers fumbled four times on special teams this season, including one that set up a Dallas Cowboys touchdown on Sunday.

He played in 26 games over two seasons, catching eight passes for 95 yards. He returned 40 punts for 305 yards and 17 kickoffs for 321 yards.

The Arizona Cardinals designated wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown for return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window.

Brown sustained a small non-surgical fracture in his foot on the final play of the game Oct. 16 against Seattle. Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that there’s a “chance” Brown will be activated to play Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers.

As for which quarterback could potentially throw to Brown on Monday, Kingsbury said he hopes to have one of them — starter Kyler Murray or backup Colt McCoy — ready to go. The coach said both QBs remain day-to-day.

Murray missed last Sunday with a hamstring injury. McCoy earned the start, but he, too, left the game with a leg injury. Trace McSorley came on to close out the 27-17 win for the Cardinals.

“He’s progressed well,” Kingsbury said Wednesday regarding Murray. “He’s still getting treatment on it. We want him to be 100 percent when he’s out there, particularly against this defensive line. So I won’t have a feel for that until later in the week.”

Brown, 25, has 43 catches for 485 yards and three touchdowns in six games (all starts).

The Cardinals acquired Robbie Anderson from Carolina to bolster the team’s wide receiver corps in Brown’s absence. Anderson, however, has one catch for minus-4 yards in four games (one start) for the Cardinals.

Kingsbury also confirmed reports from earlier in the week that tight end Zach Ertz will miss the rest of the season. Ertz was carted off during last week’s win over the Los Angeles Rams after sustaining a leg injury.

The Cardinals on Wednesday also signed offensive lineman Julien Davenport and tight end Chris Pierce Jr. to their practice squad.

The Philadelphia Eagles placed starting tight end Dallas Goedert on injured reserve Wednesday with a shoulder injury.

He’ll have to miss at least four games. It is not believed to be a season-ending injury.

The move was one of several the Eagles made Wednesday.

Defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu was also placed on IR with an undisclosed injury. He played in nine games, including a start on Monday against the Washington Commanders. The second-year player has 16 tackles and a sack on the season.

The Eagles signed veteran journeyman Linval Joseph to a one-year contract in hopes of bolstering their run defense.

The Eagles also activated tight end Tyree Jackson from the physically unable to perform list, the final day to do so. He joins Jack Stoll and rookie Grant Calcaterra in the tight end room.

The team opened the 21-day practice window for defensive end Janarius Robinson, who has been on injured reserve since Oct. 15.

Goedert was injured during Monday night’s loss to Washington. Goedert apparently sustained the injury late in the fourth quarter when he was yanked down by the facemask and landed awkwardly, resulting in a fumble. No facemask penalty was called on the play.

Goedert had three catches for 23 yards and a touchdown in the previously unbeaten Eagles’ 32-21 setback against the visiting Commanders.

Goedert, 27, has 43 catches for 544 yards and three touchdowns in nine starts this season. He ranks second in the league in yards and fourth in catches among tight ends.

Goedert has 236 catches for 2,839 yards and 19 TDs in 66 career games (49 starts) in four-plus seasons, all with the Eagles.

Joseph, 34, has yet to play a game in 2022. He played the previous two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. The two-time Pro Bowler has 644 tackles and 25 sacks in 171 career games (162 starts) with three teams.

Also Wednesday, the Eagles signed safety Marquise Blair to the practice squad. He takes the spot of wideout Auden Tate, who was released Tuesday.
