Titans put LB Ruud on IR, sign Malast from Jags' practice squad

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans have signed linebacker Kevin Malast off the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad and placed veteran linebacker Barrett Ruud on injured reserve.

The Titans signed Ruud to a one-year deal in the preseason. He had been inactive for four of the past five games due to a groin injury, prompting Tuesday's roster move. Rookie Colin McCarthy has been playing well for Tennessee at middle linebacker.

Malast was with the Titans in training camp but was waived before the season started. Undrafted out of Rutgers, he spent time in 2009 on Chicago's practice squad and was in camp with the Bears in 2010.
