In a blockbuster move shaking up the NFL, the Tennessee Titans traded young quarterback Malik Willis to the Green Bay Packers on Monday. Within 24 hours, the Titans didn’t waste time, as they bid farewell to two more members from their 2022 draft class, running back Hassan Haskins and wide receiver Kyle Philips. These two talents, who had high hopes in the Titans’ locker room, were waived as part of the team’s efforts to trim down to the 53-player limit. For those keeping score, Haskins was drafted in the fourth round, while Philips came on board in the fifth round.
Unforgettable Cuts and Moves
The Titans’ roster overhaul didn’t stop there. A whirlwind of releases followed, leaving fans buzzing. Defensive linemen Abdullah Anderson, Quinton Bohanna, Khalid Duke, and Isaiah Iton found themselves following the departure path. Not to mention, the offensive linemen Geron Christian, Corey Levin, Cole Spencer, Leroy Watson, and Lachavious Simmons also packed their bags.
High Drama on Defense and Offense
The cleaning continued, with linebacker Shane Ray, an array of defensive backs including Tre Avery, Shyheim Carter, Caleb Farley, Eric Garror, Matthew Jackson, Robert Javier, Gabe Jeudy-Lally, and Anthony Kendall being waived. Wide receivers Kearis Jackson, Mason Kinsey, and Bryce Oliver, kicker Brayden Narveson, and running back Jabari Small completed the list of released players.
As if that wasn’t dramatic enough, linebacker Chance Campbell and defensive end TK McLendon were placed on injured reserve, while wide receiver Colton Dowell was moved to the regular season PUP list, further intensifying the Titans’ roller-coaster ride.

With these changes, the Titans are clearly signaling a new era, possibly a more daring and dynamic one.
