On Monday, the Tennessee Titans declared that they are placing their running back, Hassan Haskins on the injured reserve players list.
The Tennessee Titans are in the process of creating their roster for season 2023. Michigan running back, Haskins has been subdued with an injury since the Titans first preseason game which was played against the Chicago Bears.
Update: #Titans placed RB Hassan Haskins on injured reserve, ending his season.

In his rookie season, Haskins has been average in his games. In 2022, his stats were 93 rushing yards and 25 carries.
Although Haskins was important on special teams, the Titans may not notice much of a production loss from their running back.
In special team tackles in 2022, Haskins was placed second on the team with 13. He also did 19 kickoffs for 414 yards. His skill set and resourcefulness is something which is highly valued by his teams.
Haskins’ injury timetable didn’t necessarily prevent him from missing the entire season. The Titans can find other roles for him on their special teams as they do not require him as a running back.
Earlier Haskins had sustained an upper-body injury in the training camp. He was out in the concluding two games of the Tennessee Titans.
Due to this choice, the Titans are lacking in running backs. The Titans cut running back Jonathan Ward with an injury, leaving just Derrick Henry, Tyjae Spears, Julius Chestnut, and Jacques Patrick as the remaining running backs on the roster.
After Haskins and Ward suffered their injuries during training camp practises, the Titans signed Patrick.
