16 HRS AGO - Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images A key defender is officially back. The Tennessee Titans have announced that linebacker Jayon Brown has passed his physical and has been removed from the physically unable to perform list. Brown was placed on the PUP list last week after reporting to camp, but now is a part of the active roster. Jayon Brown passes physical + taken off PUP list Details » https://t.co/WytLdyqdyt— Tennessee Titans (@Titans) August 5, 2020 Brown suffered a shoulder injury against the New England Patriots in the wildcard round of the playoffs last season. He missed the following game against the Ravens, but returned a week later to face the Chiefs. In 2019, Brown was credited with 117 tackles, four of which came for a loss. He added a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery as well. The former 5th round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft has grown into a starter and a true impact player for the Titans. Brown will enter his fourth season in the league set to Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Several key members of the Tennessee Titans hopped on a conference call with the media on Monday afternoon. The calls included interviews with Taylor Lewan, Kevin Byard, Jonnu Smith and Harold Landry. Among the topics discussed was how confident the Titans are as a group with veteran offensive linemen Dennis Kelly acting as the player rep to help get the team through the pandemic. If that means holding his teammates accountable, it’s clear that Kelly has no problem doing just that. Byard got things kicked off by saying that Kelly has been “very anal” regarding precautions in relation to the spread of COVID-19. .@KB31_Era said @DennisKelly67, the team's NFLPA rep, has been "very anal" about COVID-19 precautions -- Byard said he really appreciates that.— Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) August 3, 2020 Lewan was the next Titan to reiterate what a fantastic job Kelly is doing staying on top of his teammates. .@TaylorLewan77 on @DennisKelly67 being Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images The Titans have their first round pick ready to roll. The Tennessee Titans have agree to terms with their first round pick Isaiah Wilson this afternoon. Wilson was taken with the 29th overall selection and is expected to compete for the right tackle job this season with Dennis Kelly after the team let Jack Conklin walk in free agency. Here’s a look at Wilson signing the deal. #Titans agree to terms with Isaiah Wilson (@_LayZay_)Details » https://t.co/Y79miDm9WT— Tennessee Titans (@Titans) August 3, 2020 Without a preseason to find his footing, the re-signing of Dennis Kelly becomes that much more important. The team won’t have to force anything in the opening weeks of the season and can ease Wilson into the mix when he becomes ready. Wilson stands in at 6-6, 350 pounds. He was named to the SEC’s second team after his performance last season for the Georgia Bulldogs, just one season removed from being named a Freshman All-American in 2018. Collapse

4 DAYS AGO - Photo by Bobby McDuffie/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images One of the big concerns around the league this offseason is the fact that rookies didn’t get any time with their new teams on the field in the spring. That makes it easy to assume that a lot of those guys, especially later round picks, will have a tougher time than normal getting on the field early in the 2020 season. That might not be the case for Titans 3rd round pick Darrynton Evans. Ryan Tannehill mentioned on his Zoom call with the media the other day that he and Evans have spent some time working out together this offseason. Tannehill had really good things to say about the rookie from Appalachian State (via Jim Wyatt): “Just a talented guy,” Tannehill said of Evans. “He’s very explosive, very fast. Catching the football, really natural. When you see a running back catch the ball naturally, whether they’re coming out of the backfield or split out wide, it definitely adds another element to the offense and can give Collapse

6 DAYS AGO - Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports The Titans have finally broken their silence on Vic Beasley. Jon Robinson released a statement via Jim Wyatt: On Tuesday July 28th, we placed Vic Beasley on the Reserve Did Not Report list. I have been in contact with Vic, he is not here, he understands his absence is unexcused, and he told me he will be reporting to camp in the near future. Our current focus is on the players that are here now, getting everyone acclimated to the protocols, our building, and our football program. We will have the same acclimation process with Vic when he reports. At least this lets us know that they have heard from Beasley and he appears to be OK. With that being said, this is a disaster. They paid that guy a A TON of money to help them fix the biggest issue on their defense. We already know there are reports from Atlanta that his commitment level isn’t what it needs to be. It sounds like Jon Robinson and Mike Vrabel thought they could fix that. They aren’t off to a Collapse

7/28/2020 - Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Mike Vrabel told reporters earlier today that Isaiah Wilson was placed on the COVID-19 list and Jayon Brown was placed on the PUP list. Jim Wyatt broke the story tonight that Vic Beasley was placed on the reserve/did not report list and Corey Davis was also placed on PUP. Wyatt didn’t give any more details. This makes me wonder, and this is just purely speculation, if Beasley is considering opting out. From a PURELY FINANCIAL standpoint, it wouldn’t make any sense for Beasley not to play. Sure, the Titans would be required to honor is contract in 2021, but he would never be able to make up for missing out on that money in 2020. With that being said, we don’t have any idea if he is thinking about opting out or if it is something else. Stay tuned. As for Davis, again we don’t have any more details than he is on PUP, and don’t expect Vrabel to provide anything else until he absolutely has to - in week 1. Collapse

7/28/2020 - Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports The 2020 college football season is loaded with talent at running back, with plenty of big names from powerhouse programs likely to command attention in the coming months. But there are plenty of under-the-radar talents who will also flourish this season, and Towson’s Shane Simpson could end up being that diamond in the rough. Simpson recently spoke exclusively with MCM about his unique journey to a sixth-year of eligibility, what he’s looking forward to in 2020, and which NFL star he would love to square off with in a footrace. JM: You were recently granted a sixth-year of eligibility. It’s obviously a big year for you. What does having this bonus year mean to you? SS: It means the world to me. I put so much effort into last season. For it to get cut short due to injury, it killed me. I was looking forward to playing that final year with my senior class, the teammates that I came in with. We were going to graduate and leave together but God had Collapse

7/27/2020 - Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports The Titans will be reporting to training camp in the next couple of days, though it will be a while before we actually see them on the field. In the mean time we are going to take a look at each position group to see where the Titans are with said group. Today we move on to the running backs. Who will be in camp: Derrick Henry, Darrynton Evans, Khari Blasingame, Dalyn Dawkins, Senorise Perry, Cameron Scarlett Derrick Henry is the best running back in the NFL. If you doubt that you don’t belong here. The interesting part for this group will be to see how Evans is deployed. He gives them another guy that can make big plays because of his speed. Will he be the third down back? That depends on how quickly he adjusts to blitz pick-ups in the NFL. My guess is that they will use him some creative ways including splitting him out wide at times. Dawkins is a favorite of mine because of how hard he runs. His best bet to hanging around is most likely the practice Collapse

7/24/2020 - Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports In today’s NFL, you can never have too many talented pass rushers. If your favorite team is looking for an edge defender who is no stranger to overcoming challenges and making big plays, they should already be all over Miami’s Quincy Roche. One of the top edge rushers going into the 2020 college football season, Roche recently spoke exclusively with MCM about his decision to transfer from Temple to Miami, how he approaches his pass-rushing plan, and why pre-season recognition means absolutely nothing to him. JM: You posted 26 sacks in three seasons at Temple. Despite the success you’ve experienced there, you decided to transfer to Miami for your senior season. Walk me through the thought process behind that move. QR: I just spent a lot of time thinking about how I wanted to spend my last year of college. I’m going into my senior season and I was just doing a lot of thinking. I’ve done a lot of great things at Temple but I thought transferring elsewhere Collapse
