Tennessee Titans safety Josh Aubrey, who was promoted to the active roster from the team's practice squad on Wednesday, may find himself tested right away with starter Da’Norris Searcy battling a hamstring injury and the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots on tap.
Aubrey played in six games with the Cleveland Browns after signing as an undrafted free agent in 2013 and appeared in two games last season with Houston Texans. The 24-year old said he was 'extremely grateful' to the Titans for giving him another chance to play in the NFL.
While Titans interim head coach Mike Mularkey said Aubrey earned his promotion due to his work in practice, his presence may become more of a necessity depending on Searcy's availability.
Regardless, Aubrey said he'll be ready to face Tom Brady and the New England offense if necessary.
Via Tennessee's official website:
The 24-year old Aubrey has registered one career tackle in his eight NFL games.
“I am preparing as if I’m playing every week,’’ Aubrey said. “We are playing against the best quarterback ever. That’s really all you have to say to get ready to go.”
If there were a second paragraph, it would go here.
