Dean Marlowe promoted from practice squad

The Buffalo Bills promoted safety Dean Marlowe from the practice squad on Saturday to aid a secondary beset by injuries ahead of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Safeties Micah Hyde (groin) and Rafael Bush (shoulder) are listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

Both players were unavailable at practice this week.

To make room for Marlowe, the Bills released tight end, Khari Lee. They also signed defensive tackle Robert Thomas to the practice squad after releasing him earlier in the week.

Marlowe, 26, played sparingly for the Carolina Panthers in 2015 and 2016 before joining the Bills' practice squad late last season.

Lee, in his fourth NFL season, had one catch for five yards for the Bills -- the second catch of his career.
