Titans put receiver Van Jefferson, cornerback Armour-Davis on injured reserve, activate 2 from it

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans placed wide receiver Van Jefferson and cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis on injured reserve on Saturday and activated receiver Bryce Oliver and outside linebacker Ali Gaye from it.

Oliver and Gaye have no injury designation before Sunday's season finale at Jacksonville.

Both Jefferson and Armour-Davis were hurt last week in a loss to New Orleans. Armour-Davis was carted off the field with an Achilles tendon injury on the first defensive series while Jefferson hurt his forearm making a catch late in the first half. Interim coach Mike McCoy had said neither would play in the finale.

The Titans also signed cornerback Kemon Hall, who forced a fumble last week, from the practice squad to the active roster. They elevated tight end Cole Turner from the practice squad with rookie tight end Gunnar Helm declared out for the finale.

Indiana U.S. Rep. Jim Baird is expected to make a full recovery after his vehicle was struck in a car accident that hospitalized him, the Republican's office said Tuesday.

“He is extraordinarily grateful for everyone’s prayers during this time,” Baird's congressional office said in a statement.

The statement did not include further details about the crash. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the congressman's wife was also hospitalized.

“They’re going to be okay, but they had a pretty bad accident, and we’re praying that they get out of that hospital very quickly,” Trump said while speaking to House GOP members at a retreat at the Kennedy Center. “He’s going to be fine. She’s going to be fine.”

Baird, who represents the 4th Congressional District in west central Indiana, was first elected to congress in 2019. He is 80 years old.

News of the accident came as Republicans in D.C. mourn the death of Republican Doug LaMalfa, a seven-term U.S. representative from California. His death, along with the resignation of Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, narrows the party’s control of the House to 218 seats to Democrats’ 213.

In 2022, Indiana U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski, a Republican, was killed in a head-on vehicle collision in her northern Indiana district. Two of her staffers traveling with her and the woman driving the other vehicle also died.
