The Tennessee Titans waived veteran running back and seven-time NFL Pro Bowler Adrian Peterson, the franchise announced on Tuesday.

Peterson was signed to the Titans' 53-man roster earlier this month after star running back Derrick Henry's season-ending foot injury.

However, the Titans waived the 36-year-old and 2012 NFL MVP after only three games.

Peterson debuted for the Titans in the 28-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9 – he scored with a one-yard touchdown.

The veteran rushed for 82 yards across 27 carries as well as four receptions for eight yards in his three games for the Titans, who are 8-3 for the season and top of the AFC South.

The decision on Peterson was one of 13 roster moves made by the Titans on Tuesday, including adding defensive back Buster Skrine, running back Dontrell Hilliard and outside linebacker John Simo to their active roster.
