Titans Trim Roster To 53; RB Hassan Haskins Placed On Commissioner’s Exempt List

The Titans have made a number of moves which have allowed them to set their initial 53-man roster. Here is the full breakdown:

Waived:

• LB Chance Campbell
• DB Shyheim Carter
• DT Michael Dwumfour
• DB Eric Garror
• WR Tre’Shaun Harrison
• DB Steven Jones
• DB Tyreque Jones
• WR Mason Kinsey
• T John Leglue
• DB Armani Marsh
• DE T.K. McLendon
• WR Racey McMath
• TE Thomas Odukoya
• T John Ojukwu
• DE Sam Okuayinonu
• RB Jacques Patrick
• WR Reggie Roberson
• T Andrew Rupcich

Released:

• DT Jaleel Johnson
• LB Ben Niemann
• DT Kyle Peko
• TE Kevin Rader
• G Jordan Roos

Waived/injured:

• DT Tyler Shelvin

Placed on Reserve/PUP list:

• CB Caleb Farley (story)

Placed on Commissioner’s Exempt List:

• RB Hassan Haskins

Haskins had been placed on IR yesterday, meaning he will be sidelined for the season. The 2022 fourth-rounder’s future with the team is now murkier, however, given today’s placement on the Exempt List. Haskins – who was arrested on an aggravated assault charge in June – will need to apply for reinstatement to be eligible to return when healthy.

McMath has logged 14 appearances in Tennessee across his two seasons with the team. The former sixth-rounder will lose out on a roster spot in the Titans revamped receiving corps, which will of course be led by free agent signing DeAndre Hopkins. McMath would represent a prime practice squad candidate if he goes unclaimed, something which, given his lack of offensive playing time and production, can be expected.

Letting go of Coley, Johnson and Peko (at least for now) will leave the Titans thin along the defensive interior. That trio has combined to play 147 games in the NFL, representing plenty of experience the team will be without to start the season. Plenty of Tennessee’s success will be determined by the play of Jeffery Simmons and his fellow D-line starters, but they will be leaned on heavily in the absence of veteran backups.
