Titans acquire Desmond King to help secondary

Shipped to contender The Titans acquired King via trade from the Chargers for a sixth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact King received All-Pro honors in 2018 for his work as a punt returner and defensive back. However, his role with the Chargers diminished of late. Since he was set to be an unrestricted free agent in March, the team opted to move on early. The 2017 fifth-round pick is a good fit with the Titans, who have struggled with injuries in their secondary this year and allowed 268.7 passing yards per game (sixth most in the league). King likely will cover the slot, and he may be available for this Sunday's game versus the Bears if he clears the COVID-19 protocols in time.

Broncos clear RB Lindsay in return from concussion
Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay has cleared concussion protocol and will play against the Los Angeles ChargersNOVEMBER 1, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Surprisingly out Sunday King (not injury related) will not play Sunday against the Broncos.
Impact It's tough to really speculate why King was ruled out considering the team didn't list an injury or illness as the culprit for the designation. Michael Davis will once again step in as the No. 1 cornerback opposite Casey Hayward with some combination of Tevaughn Campbell, Brandon Facyson and Alohi Gilman set to provide depth and versatility to the rest of the secondary.

Set to take over slot role Coach Anthony Lynn said Thursday that King is expected to start at slot cornerback in place of Chris Harris (foot), Joe Reedy of AP News reports.
Impact King played a rotational role during the Chargers' first three games of the season, but he now looks in line to handle an every-down role in the slot during Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. The 2017 fifth-round pick stands to start for at least the next three weeks, with Harris having been placed on IR.
