Klug suffered a strained Achilles injury in the Titans' 13-10 victory over the Denver Broncos on Dec. 11 and further damaged the tendon during the second half of Sunday's 19-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

A fifth-round pick by the Titans in 2011, Klug has 20 career sacks and 110 tackles in 94 career games. He had 26 tackles and 1.5 sacks this season.

Klug re-signed with the Titans as a free agent in the offseason and will become a free agent again when this season is over.
