Titans Reduce Roster To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 4:14pm CST by Ben Levine

The Titans have officially trimmed their roster to 53 players. Tennessee made the following moves:

Waived

- OL Cole Banwart
- DB Briean Boddy-Calhoun
- WR Fred Brown
- DB Jamal Carter
- FB Tory Carter
- OL Christian DiLauro
- WR Dez Fitzpatrick
- TE Miller Forristall
- OL Derwin Gray
- DL Woodrow Hamilton
- RB Javian Hawkins
- LB Jan Johnson
- DL Naquan Jones
- WR Mason Kinsey
- TE Jared Pinkney
- LB Wyatt Ray
- OL Jordan Roos

A pair of wideouts headline this list of waived players. Fitzpatrick was a fourth-round pick by the organization in this past year’s draft. The 6-foot-2 receiver was a standout during his stint at Louisville, leading to the Titans trading three picks to move up and select him. The rookie could end up falling through to the practice squad, but considering his draft stock, there’s a chance another team will claim him.

Meanwhile, Kinsey was an unheralded acquisition, but he made a name for himself following a strong preseason. The wideout finished August with 14 receptions for 131 yards and one touchdown.

Minor NFL Transactions: 5/26/21

Steelers Trim Roster Down

September 5th, 2020 at 4:06pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The entire AFC North is now finished as the Steelers became the latest team to trim their roster to 53 players. Here are all the moves, we’ll recap the most notable ones at the bottom:

QB Paxton Lynch
DL Daniel McCullers
WR Ryan Switzer
DB Antoine Brooks Jr.
RB Kerrith Whyte Jr.
RB Trey Edmunds
RB Wendell Smallwood
WR Saeed Blacknall
WR DeAndre Thompkins
WR Deon Cain
WR Amara Darboh
OL Christian DiLauro
OL John Keenoy
OL Derwin Gray
OL Anthony Coyle
OL Jarron Jones
TE Kyle Markway
TE Kevin Rader
DL Cavon Walker
DL Henry Mondeaux
DL Calvin Taylor
LB Tuzar Skipper
LB Jayrone Elliott
DB Trajan Bandy
DB John Battle
P Corliss Waitman
LS Liam McCullough

Lynch is probably the most well known of these names. The former Broncos first-round bust signed with the Steelers last year as insurance after multiple quarterback injuries. He’s running out of chances. Switzer has mostly contributed as a returner with Pittsburgh and Dallas, although he did have 36 catches with the Steelers in 2018.

Smallwood was one of the Eagles’ main running backs in 2018, but didn’t get too many touches with Washington last year. He’ll likely pop up somewhere else soon. Brooks Jr. was the Steelers’ sixth-round pick in this past draft, so he’s likely ticketed for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

McCullers has been with the Steelers the past six years so his is a significant departure even though the nose tackle only played 12 percent of the defensive snaps last season.
