An updated look at the Tennessee Titans moves.
The preseason games are over which means the sad realization of the business of the NFL is now in full effect. Which players are the Tennessee Titans releasing and are there any new additions?
As news pours in I will update this list as much as possible and try to keep it nearly live. Newest updates will be at the TOP of the list.
UPDATE: The Titans’ final 53-man roster has been revealed. Check it out here.
Amani Bledsoe, DL: Cut
DL Amani Bledsoe is being waived by the #Titans. Could be a good practice squad candidate.

Darius Jennings, WR: Added (previously had cut. Sorry!)
Darius Jennings is on the 53-man roster. #Titans
— Paul Kuharsky (@PaulKuharskyNFL) August 31, 2019
All eyes are on Taywan Taylor now.
Mike Jordan, DB: Cut
#Titans are cutting DB Mike Jordan, per source.

Logan Woodside, QB: Cut
Can confirm that the @Titans will be waiving third QB Logan Woodside. Will be interesting to see if he is claimed or comes back to the practice squad.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 31, 2019
Not much of a surprise here. Woodside played well this preseason, but the Titans couldn’t afford to waste a roster spot on a third quarterback.
Cody Hollister, WR: Cut
#Titans WR Cody Hollister has been released.
— Erik Bacharach (@ErikBacharach) August 31, 2019
Austin Pasztor, OT: Cut
Offensive tackle Austin Pasztor has been released by the @Titans.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 31, 2019
Jeremy McNichols, RB: Cut
The #Titans are releasing RB Jeremy McNichols, source said. He impressed in the third preseason game.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 31, 2019
McNichols had a great camp and preseason, but the Titans have decided to roll with three running backs, with David Fluellen being the third. McNichols should land on his feet.
Kalif Raymond has made the roster.
This is big news. It could mean either Darius Jennings or Taywan Taylor will not make the roster. If it’s Taylor, it could mean he’s going to be traded.
Aaron Stinnie, G: Cut
Guard Aaron Stinnie, who was a member of the 53-man roster last year, has been waived by the @Titans. Practice squad could be an option for him.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 31, 2019
Stinnie is one of the bigger names to be cut thus far.
Derrick Roberson, OLB: Cut
OLB Derick Roberson has been informed by the @Titans that he will be released. They are hoping to bring him back to their practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 31, 2019
Paul Kuharsky reported this would be the case yesterday. The UDFA out of Sam Houston State finished the preseason strong and has some promise, but the trade for Reggie Gilbert pretty much sealed his fate. Hopefully the Titans can get him on the practice squad.
Titans going with two QBs?
It hasn’t been made official yet, but it looks like Logan Woodside will be cut.
Expect the #Titans to only keep 2 QBs (Mariota/Tannehill) and to cut Logan Woodside this afternoon, per sources.
— AtoZ Sports Nashville (@AtoZSports) August 31, 2019
Nothing too surprising there. It was doubtful the Titans were going to waste a roster spot on a third quarterback.
Austin Barnard, P/K: Cut
Punter Austin Barnard has been released by the @Titans.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 31, 2019
The whole list so far
Because we love you and don’t want you to have to scroll so far down to see all the names, here’s the entire list of Titans who have been cut to this point as of 10:08 a.m. CDT, courtesy of Titans 247 Sports.
#Titans reported cuts so far:
— Titans247 (@NFL_Titans247) August 31, 2019
DL Braxton Hoyett
OT Tyler Marz
OL Hroniss Grasu
OLB Derick Roberson
WR Anthony Ratliff-Williams
RB Alex Barnes
OL Chris Nelson
LB LaTroy Lewis
OL AT Hall
DL Frank Herron
DB LaDarius Wiley
TE Ryan Hewitt
CB Kenneth Durden
Ryan Hewitt, TE: Cut
#Titans have released TE Ryan Hewitt, CB Kenneth Durden.
— John Glennon (@glennonsports) August 31, 2019
We already knew about Durden. Paul Kuharsky had reported yesterday that Hewitt would be cut, but now it’s official.
Kenneth Durden, CB: Cut
Titans cut cornerback Kenneth Darden
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) August 31, 2019
Frank Herron, DL: Cut
DL Frank Herron was released by the @Titans.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
DeAngelo Yancey, WR: Cut
#Titans have released WR DeAngelo Yancey per source. Yancey was a late addition to training camp and shows flashes in joint practices vs. the Patriots.
— TURRON DAVENPORT (@TDavenport_NFL) August 30, 2019
Yancey is a former fifth-round pick out of Purdue.
Isaiah Mack (news):
Jon Robinson said on @WKRN that Isaiah Mack has done a great job in camp and has taken to coaching. Sounds like he will be on the initial 53.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
All signs are positive that the Titans UDFA will make the roster, which is great because he was easily the best DT on the roster this preseason not names Jurrell Casey or Daquan Jones.
Braxton Hoyett, DT: Cut
DL Braxton Hoyett has been released by the @Titans.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
The former South Carolina DT gets cut after being signed as an UDFA.
Tyler Marz, OT: Semi-surprise cut
OT Tyler Marz has been released by the @Titans. Spent most of the last couple of years with the club between practice squad and active roster.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
Really surprised to see Marz gone, I thought he played decently well in regular season action last year when he was asked. He should be on the short list to call if the Titans need another OT.
Anthony Ratliff-Williams, Alex Barnes, LaDarius Wiley: Cut
WR Anthony Ratliff-Williams, running back Alex Barnes and defensive back LaDarius Wiley have all been waived by the @Titans.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
Before the season the fans were divided on whether Barnes or AR-W would be the breakout UDFA of camp. Little did we know that neither would do anything at all and that Mack was the right answer the whole time.
OL AT Hall being released by @Titans
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
Hall had some potential and could be a PS guy to see how he develops.
LaTroy Lewis, LB: Cut
LB LaTroy Lewis is being released. Practice squad may be an option.
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
Former Tennessee Vols LB cut, but there is still hope for him to catch on here in some capacity.
Hroniss Grasu: Cut
Center Hroniss Grasu has been released by @Titans
— Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 30, 2019
I would like to say that I think Grasu was better than Aaron Stinnie or Jamil Douglas in his limited reps. Not sure this keeps the best 9 OL on the roster without an addition.
