Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed will miss at least the next four weeks.

Sneed was placed on injured reserve today, the team announced. Sneed suffered a quad injury, and by rule he can’t be active for at least four weeks after going on IR.

It’s the second consecutive season that Sneed has landed on IR with a quad injury; last year he played in only five games because of an injured quad. Sneed has started all seven games this season, but his tenure in Tennessee has been a major disappointment: Last year the Titans traded a third-round pick to the Chiefs for Sneed, and signed him to a four-year, $76 million contract. Even when healthy, Sneed hasn’t played at a level that would justify the commitment the team has made in him.

The Titans promoted linebacker Joe Bachie from the practice squad to take Sneed’s place on the 53-player roster. Bachie has played in 56 career games in his career, with seven starts.

The Titans also signed wide receiver Lance McCutcheon to the practice squad.
