Titans Place G Chance Warmack On IR

By | at September 21, 2016 4:04 pm

The Titans announced that guard Chance Warmack is going on IR. Warmack will have surgery to repair his injured hand, though the team says that he could have played through the injury if he wanted to. Chance Warmack

Warmack could theoretically return in eight weeks, but coach Mike Mularkey indicated that this will be a season-ending procedure. Warmack is in a contract year and appears to be protecting his long-term value by having the surgery done now.

In May, the Titans declined to exercise Warmack’s 2017 option. Warmack, 25, has been the Titans’ full-time right guard since being selected 10th overall in the 2013 draft, starting 46 of a possible 48 games from 2013 through 2015. The Alabama alum was solid but not spectacular in that role, ranking 40th out of 81 qualified guards in 2015, according to Pro Football Focus’ grades.

Without Warmack, the Titans will turn to Josh Kline and Brian Schwenke at the right guard position.

Titans Ownership May Face More Discipline

By | at September 18, 2016 2:25 pm

Long the target of NFL scrutiny due to an insufficient succession plan after Bud Adams’ death, the Titans have incurred punishment from the league this offseason and could be set for more NFL discipline.

The NFL already hit owner Amy Adams Strunk with a six-figure fine this year, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reports, and the franchise remains non-compliant regarding its ownership.

Adams Strunk maintains she will not sell the team, although that is not the universal feeling among Bud Adams’ heirs, but the Titans have not offered a satisfactory plan to satisfy the league. No additional fines are on the table as of now, per La Canfora, but the league continues to monitor this situation and would impose more financial penalties in the future if necessary since this doesn’t appear to be letting up anytime soon.

The Titans could well end up back on the market, per La Canfora, with Jon Bon Jovi residing as a “keenly interested” suitor after a failed bid to buy the Bills. Additionally, Peyton Manning may view the Titans as the one team he would consider owning a portion of and concurrently serve in a presidential-type role, La Canfora reports.

After playing at Tennessee, Manning has long been connected with the Titans — as both a player and a potential executive. The recently retired quarterback revealed the team was his second choice when he decided to sign with the Broncos in 2012.

Titans Claim OL Josh Kline Off Waivers

By | at September 8, 2016 3:59 pm

The Titans have claimed offensive lineman Josh Kline off waivers from the Patriots, according to a Titans press release. In a related move, cornerback Cody Riggs was waived.Josh Kline (vertical)

Kline was originally supposed to go from the Pats to the Eagles in the recent Eric Rowe trade. Early reports indicated that the Eagles would flip the lineman to another team, but as it turns out, he was removed from the trade altogether. The Patriots, in turn, waived him.

Kline played in 14 games for New England last season and made 13 starts, splitting his time evenly between the two guard spots. He also started at left guard for both of the team’s playoff contests. The Titans are now adding him to the fold and they’ll have him under contract through 2017 at a reasonable rate.
