Tennessee Titans place kicker Stephen Gostkowski on Reserve/COVID-19 list with playoff spot on line
The Tennessee Titans placed kicker Stephen Gostkowski on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.
It’s unclear whether Gostkowski will miss Sunday’s regular season-finale at the Houston Texans with the AFC South title on the line.
The Reserve/COVID-19 list is for a player who either tests positive or who has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons.
The Titans failed to lock up a playoff berth after losing 40-14 to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, but they can wrap up the division title with a win against Houston or an Indianapolis Colts loss.
Gostkowski was signed before the season opener and has not missed a game this season. The 15-year veteran has made 18 of 26 field goals, and is 7-for-8 from 50-yards plus.
The Titans did not announce an addition to the roster on Monday.
Sam Sloman, a kicker, is on the Titans’ practice squad. He was signed during Week 12.
The 5-foot-8, 205-pound Sloman was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the seventh round (248th overall) of the 2020 NFL draft. He appeared in seven games for the Rams in 2020 and made eight of 11 field goals with one blocked (72.7%) and 18 of 21 extra point tries with two blocked (85.7%).
