After spending the last few weeks slowly trimming their roster down from the initial 90 players they began training camp with, the Tennessee Titans have officially gotten their roster down to 53 players.
In the process, Tennessee waived 29 players over the past few days to meet yesterday’s league-mandated deadline. The majority of the transactions were pretty predictable for the most part, but there were a few surprises that threw us off when we first saw them.
It should also be noted that this is called the “initial” 53-man roster for a reason.
The Titans will be making moves in the week-plus ahead of the season, the first of which could involve wide receiver Racey McMath, who is reportedly expected to be placed on injured reserve with a hip injury.
With all that in mind, let’s a take closer look at what surprised us the most about yesterday’s 53-man roster reveal from the Titans.
