Report: Trevor Daniel will serve as the Titans punter vs. Colts

This is an interesting piece of news. Per me, Trevor Daniel will serve as the Titans punter for tomorrow’s primetime showdown with the Colts:

It’s a curious piece of news. Daniel was signed to the practice squad the same day that three-time Super Bowl winner Ryan Allen was signed to the active roster to replace All-Pro punter Brett Kern, who went to IR with a wrist injury.

Allen was terrific in his first game in Tennessee. He averaged 50.5 yards per punt with a long of 65. You’d take those numbers every week, but the Titans are apparently making a change.

It’s especially interesting because Allen also served as the holder for Stephen Gostkowski, who had a perfect day against the Bears. Gostkowski has praised Allen’s holding abilities in the past. The two spent a lot of time together with the Patriots. I wonder if Allen may also be active for this game, even just to serve as the holder. That would admittedly be a curious way to utilize a roster spot.

The word is that Daniel, who played his college football at Tennessee, consistently outperformed Allen at practice.
