Tennessee Titans right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere suffered a shoulder injury late in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving the Titans even more concern about the depth at a position where they're already missing a starter.

He left the game, returned briefly, then was declared questionable to return.

Petit-Frere started at right tackle for the injured Chris Hubbard, moving over from left tackle. He was injured on a play in which he was also called for holding against Steelers star edge defender T.J. Watt. Petit-Frere was replaced by Dillon Radunz.

With Petit-Frere on the right side, the Titans had Andre Dillard playing at left tackle, a position he started at in the first six games of the season but was benched in Week 6 in favor of Petit-Frere when he came back from a league-mandated suspension.

The only other tackle on the active roster tonight is rookie Jaelyn Duncan, who has yet to take an offensive snap.

Watt leads a tenacious Steelers pass rush that was already giving Petit-Frere and Dillard trouble prior to Petit-Frere's injury.

The Titans trail 7-3 early in the second quarter.
