NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans already have a second replacement kicker on the roster with the first on injured reserve. Now they have a second punter. Three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern was limited Wednesday with an injured right groin muscle that kept him out of Thursday’s practice.

Kern wound up on injured reserve last season. The Titans used two different punters before Kern returned.
