The Tennessee Titans have added another kicker after signing Sam Sloman to their practice squad. The news comes from Sloman’s agency, JL Sports, which tweeted out a congratulations to the kicker.
Sloman recently visited the Titans last week, and before that he had a workout with the team earlier in the month. He is now one of two kickers Tennessee has on its practice squad, along with Giorgio Tavecchio.
Sloman, who was a 2020 seventh-round pick, played in seven games for the Los Angeles Rams this season before being waived and made 8-of-11 field goal tries and 18-of-21 extra point attempts.
He was 2-for-3 from 20-29 yards, 5-for-5 from 30-39 yards, 1-for-2 from 40-49 yards and 0-for-1 from 50-59 yards. Sloman’s longest make of the season came from 42 yards out.
The Titans will continue to have an insurance policy (or two) on hand just in case veteran kicker Stephen Gostkowski self-destructs once again.
Gostkowski made all three of his field goal attempts in Week 11, but entered the contest against the Baltimore Ravens with eight misses on the season, the most in the NFL.
The Titans will look to win back-to-back games when they take on the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday in Week 12.
