Titans place DE Dawson on IR, sign DE Pannel Egboh

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans have placed defensive end Keyunta Dawson on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and signed defensive end Pannel Egboh (PUH-nell EGG-bow) to fill the roster spot.

The Titans announced the move Wednesday.

Dawson was hurt early in last week's 44-41 overtime win over Detroit. The 6-foot-6, 287-pound Egboh had been on the Titans' opening day roster, but he was inactive for the opener against New England. The Titans released him two days later. Egboh spent last season on the practice squad.

A native of Mesquite, Texas, Egboh went to Stanford and has been with San Francisco, Houston and Philadelphia.
