Running back Jarrett Payton, son of the late Walter Payton, was activated for his first NFL game when the Titans promoted him from the practice squad. Payton went undrafted out of Miami in 2004, but signed with the Titans as a free agent and spent the season on the practice squad. The 6-foot, 220-pouner was allocated to NFL Europe, where he tied for a league-high with seven touchdowns and ranked second with 5.6 yards per carry. But the Titans lost Travis Henry to a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, and team officials chose to replace him by promoting Payton and deactivating rookie Damien Nash.
