Tennessee Titans LB Akeem Ayers was on the field for just 36 snaps in the Week 8 game against the Indianapolis Colts, while rookie LB Zach Brown was on the field for 56 of his team’s 76 defensive snaps. ‘We felt Zach was ready to take over the nickel ‘Will’ linebacker spot off the ball,’ head coach Mike Munchak said. ‘He’s been doing some of that the last two or three weeks.’ Ayers is being used more as a rush end or defensive end.
