The Tennessee Titans made some solid moves between the 2020 NFL Draft and free agency, and the signing of outside linebacker Vic Beasley was thought to be one of them.
But now, according to a recent article from NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal, he could be a surprise roster cut for the team.
Here’s a look at what he had to say about Beasley:
Cutting Beasley, who was signed this offseason, would be a shock and possibly complicated, if the team decided to go after his money. It’s not like the Titans have a replacement for the former first-round pick. Beasley’s hefty guaranteed salary — nearly $10 million — would seem to put him on the team, but Beasley’s status has been shrouded in mystery since he showed up to camp late and was placed on the non-football injury list. He essentially hasn’t been seen since, and there are a lot of questions about what exactly is going on here.
Beasley got some 1-on-1 work in with Mike Vrabel on Thursday, and seems to be making progress towards being removed from the NFI list and finally practicing with the team for the first time.
“This will be a hot topic today, but I am hopeful I’ll be able to work with Vic today on the field as we start that return to play protocol,” Vrabel said before Thursday’s practice, according to Erik Bacharach of the Tennessean.”I’m happy and excited that that is going to happen today.”
Beasley seems to be moving forward in the right direction, but whether or not he’ll be able to make an impact for the Titans early on remains to be seen.
The Titans are set to kick off the season against the Denver Broncos on September 14 at Empower Field at Mile High on “Monday Night Football”.
