Fernando Carmona and Jackson Slater were placed on injured reserve following Week 3 injuries.
Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed both will undergo surgery.
Garrett Dellinger and RB Michael Carter were promoted from the practice squad to the active roster.
The Titans signed guard Nick Broeker, defensive back Jakob Robinson and linebacker Owen Pappoe to the practice squad.
Carmona's ankle sprain is expected to cost him a few weeks; Week 8 is the earliest return window mentioned.
Slater suffered a significant foot injury; team has not provided a firm timeline but it could extend beyond the four-game minimum.
The moves leave the team short on interior guard depth entering Week 4.
Before promotions, Peter Skoronski and Atonio Mafi were the only healthy guards on the active roster.
Garrett Dellinger or Atonio Mafi projected to start at right guard in the near term.
Report notes Titans may look outside the building for veteran guard depth.
