The Tennessee Titans have ruled out cornerback Kristian Fulton and inside linebacker Monty Rice for Monday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Fulton arguably has been Tennessee’s best pass defender this season but will sit with a hamstring injury. Rice has been a special teams stalwart and a backup on defense but will be sidelined by a groin injury.

The good news is that outside linebacker Bud Dupree was a full participant in practice Saturday and is not even among the three players listed as questionable. Left guard Rodger Saffold also is in line to play despite a shoulder injury that limited him in practice the last two days and has been an issue for several weeks.
