The Tennessee Titans are already churning that practice squad, folks! Just a single day after signing 16 players to the unit, the team was back at it on Tuesday, making some serious moves and bringing back wide receiver Xavier Restrepo after he cleared waivers. This is early, even for practice squad churn, and it shows the front office is looking for the right mix.
Who’s In, Who’s Out?
So, Restrepo is back, which is a good thing for depth. But the Titans didn’t stop there, also bringing in cornerback Shemar Bartholomew. This guy’s got a bit of a journey behind him, originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the New York Jets back in 2024. He’s actually seen some action, too, appearing in six career games between the Carolina Panthers and the Green Bay Packers, where he stacked up seven total tackles. You gotta love a guy who’s been around and hungry. To clear a spot for these additions, the Titans made one move: cornerback Mario Goodrich III was waived. It’s a tough business, but that’s how the practice squad game works.
The Jerrick Reed Report and Week 1 Prep
Now, here’s where it gets a little interesting. There was a report out there from Justin Melo saying the Titans were planning to bring back safety Jerrick Reed. But guess what? They didn’t follow through with that on Tuesday. You have to wonder what happened there, right? A report like that usually has some fire behind it, so for it not to materialize, that’s a head-scratcher. Meanwhile, the team is back on the field Wednesday, grinding away, continuing their preparations for the big Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets. Every single player, especially those fighting for a practice squad spot, needs to be locked in with that game just around the corner. We’ll be watching every move.
