Titans add four to practice squad

To the surprise of many observers, the Tennessee Titans did not make another move at the trade deadline. It’s an interesting development after they seemed to have started a sale just two weeks ago.

Although no trades were executed, the team was active and executed a few small trades on the day. The Titans added Thomas Odukoya, defensive back Gervarrius Owens, defensive back Daryl Worley and guard Cole Spencer to the practice squad.

No more exchange for it #Titansso Joseph-Day, Key, Boyd, etc. are here for at least the rest of the season.
Team has signed these 4 players for practice:
TE Thomas Odukoya
DB Gervarrius Owens

It’s no secret that the Titans are in trouble, especially on the secondary and offensive line. Starting cornerback L’Jarius Sneed has missed the past three games and they lost starting safety Quandre Diggs for the season against the New England Patriots. Along the offensive line, the team lost backup Andrew Rupcich and starter Lloyd Cushenberry to injured reserve in consecutive weeks and saw starting guard Dillon Radunz miss the last game due to injury.

While Odukoya and Spencer are familiar faces, the additions of Owens and Worley are new. Owens was originally a seventh-round draft pick of the New York Giants in the 2023 NFL draft. In his career, he has seen action in three games, recording one tackle and one fumble. He was released from the Giants’ practice squad in October.

Worley has traveled extensively and will add some experience to the secondary at age 29. A third-round selection in 2016 by the Carolina Panthers, the Titans will be the 10th team he has played for during his NFL career.

The Titans will likely make several roster moves in the coming days as they place Cushenberry and Diggs on injured reserve. The team returns to practice on Wednesday to prepare for their Week 10 battle with the Los Angeles Chargers.
