Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Ty Sambrailo, who was the team’s top reserve up front, was suddenly placed on the Reserve/Retired list Tuesday. The surprising move represented a big blow to the depth of an O-line that’s already having injury issues.
Coach Mike Vrabel was asked Wednesday about the impact of the 29-year-old Sambrailo’s retirement on the team.
“None whatsoever,” he said.
