Tennessee Titans Make Series of Roster Moves, Including Adding Punter Ty Zentner
The Tennessee Titans losing to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday might not have been the toughest blow of the weekend, as some key players were also injured during the game. That includes Ryan Stonehouse, the team’s excellent punter.
The NFL’s first release of pro-bowl voting had Stonehouse with the most votes of any punter in the league, so he will not be easy to replace, but that is exactly what Ty Zentner will be tasked with doing after the Titans added him to the roster on Tuesday.

Zentner, a 25-year-old rookie out of Kansas State, punted in four games for the Houston Texans to start the season and had an average of 42.1 yards per punt. That pales in comparison to Stonehouse, who led the NFL with 53.1 yards per punt.
Zentner was added to the practice squad and not the 53-man roster, so the expectation is that Zentner will be a gameday elevation for the Titans come Monday night against the Miami Dolphins. If he takes advantage of the opportunity, he should be elevated permanently in the near future.
