With Karl Klug to IR, bigger roles for Angelo Blackson, Austin Johnson

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans have a deep pool of defensive linemen, with 2016 second-rounder Austin Johnson and 2015 fourth-rounder Angelo Blackson serving as role players.

They each bump up a notch with Karl Klug lost for the final two regular-season games and any postseason games for the Titans due to a torn Achilles.

Klug will be missed, but if the Titans were going to lose someone at this stage, the defensive line should be a spot where they are equipped to recover.

Three starters -- DaQuan Jones, Al Woods and Jurrell Casey -- remain in place, with Blackson and Johnson now the primary depth.
