NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans went into Sunday's game with the Cleveland Browns with 52 players on the roster, choosing not to replace suspended backup defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson for now.
The Titans deactivated seven players, with Vickerson placed on the reserve-suspended list. He was suspended Friday for four games for violating the NFL's policy on anabolic steroids and related substances, with his agent saying it involved a diuretic pill.
With Ken Dorsey making his first start at quarterback since Nov. 27, 2005, the Browns did not designate an emergency third quarterback behind newly signed Bruce Gradkowski. The Browns also deactivated tight end Kellen Winslow with a high ankle sprain.
Cleveland sat defensive back Travis Daniels, fullback Charles Ali, safety Hamza Abdullah, linebackers Kris Griffin and Beau Bell, offensive lineman Scott Young and defensive lineman Santonio Thomas.
Tennessee deactivated receivers Paul Williams and Chris Davis, cornerback Tyrone Poole, running back Chris Henry, offensive lineman Mike Otto and defensive end William Hayes.
