Journeyman quarterback Josh Dobbs is headed back to where it all began.
The Titans have signed Dobbs off the Lions’ practice squad, according to a Tuesday report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Dobbs played college football at Tennessee from 2013-16.
The signing follows an injury to starting Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who sprained his ankle during the team’s 17-14 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. Tannehill has thrown for 2,536 passing yards with 13 touchdown passes and six interceptions in 12 games this season.
Tennessee is expected to start rookie quarterback Malik Willis against the Texans on Christmas Eve, according to Rapoport.
