Titans won’t place tender on WR Cody Hollister

The Titans will reportedly decline to place a tender on WR Cody Hollister.

The Tennessee Titans have multiple restricted free agents to sort through ahead of the new league year beginning on Wednesday, and the team has decided not to place a tender on yet another receiver.

According Terry McCormick of Titan Insider, Tennessee will not be placing a tender on wide receiver Cody Hollister, which means he’s free to sign with any team as of 4 p.m. ET on the fifth.

Of course, it’s possible Tennessee can still bring Hollister back for less than the $2.6 million tender they could’ve placed on him, but with the Titans revamping their receiving corps., there’s a good chance he won’t be back.

Hollister is the second restricted free-agent wide receiver who the Titans have declined to place a tender on, with the other being Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Tennessee has decided to place a second-round tender on Teair Tart, leaving Aaron Brewer as the last of the restricted free-agent group for the Titans to make a decision on.

Titans place Cody Hollister on IR to make room for Tarell Basham

Hollister will miss at least the next four games on injured reserve.

We were waiting for the corresponding move to make room for the signing of Tarell Basham, and now the Tennessee Titans have made it.

The team made the signing of Basham to the 53-man roster official, while also announcing the placement of wide receiver Cody Hollister on injured reserve with a neck injury.

Hollister will miss at least the next four games, but there’s a good chance he won’t play again this season, as the Titans are unlikely to use one of their return designations on him.

The addition of Basham, who the Titans are listing as an outside linebacker rather than a defensive end, gives Tennessee a fourth player at the position on their roster, along with Bud Dupree, Rashad Weaver and Ola Adeniyi.

The Titans were carrying just two for much of the season with Adeniyi sidelined. He returned to action in Week 13, though.

Basham will have an opportunity to work his way into the Titans’ rotation of pass-rushers, which has been short Denico Autry the last two games, leading to terrible results.

Autry’s status remains up in the air, but thankfully the corresponding move for Basham wasn’t Autry going to IR, which gives hope he could be back either this week or next.

Titans sign 11 players to futures contracts

The Titans are bringing back Mason Kinsey and 10 other players on futures contracts.

Two days after being eliminated in the AFC divisional round of the playoffs, the Tennessee Titans locked up 11 players to futures contracts.

The list of players includes:

  • S Jamal Carter
  • OL Christian DiLauro
  • TE Austin Fort
  • OL Derwin Gray
  • QB Kevin Hogan
  • WR Cody Hollister
  • LB Joe Jones
  • WR Mason Kinsey
  • OL Daniel Munyer
  • OL Jordan Roos
  • LB Tuzar Skipper

All 11 players were part of the practice squad this season, with Cody Hollister playing in three games. The Arkansas product reeled in four catches for 33 yards, called upon for the oft-injured Julio Jones and A.J. Brown.

Wide receiver Mason Kinsey became the first player from Division III Berry College to sign an NFL contract when he inked a deal as an undrafted free agent with the Titans over the summer. He suited up for just one game this season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 but didn’t see the field.

Quarterback Kevin Hogan played his collegiate football at Stanford and was signed to the Titans practice squad in mid-November after the Carolina Panthers signed Matt Barkley to their roster.

The futures contracts will become effective at the start of the new league year on March 16.

Tennessee Titans’ practice squad protections for Week 14

The Titans are protecting the same players for the second straight game.

The Tennessee Titans have chosen the four players they will protect on their practice squad for the Week 14 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars — and it’s the same four they protected for their last game in Week 12.

According to the league’s transactions wire, the Titans are protecting quarterback Kevin Hogan, cornerback Breon Borders, defensive lineman Kevin Strong, and wide receiver Cody Hollister.

All four of these players saw snaps in Week 12 against the New England Patriots.

Chances are we won’t see Hogan elevated this week, as the Titans recently activated backup quarterback Logan Woodside off the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

With the Titans thin at wide receiver due to the injury to A.J. Brown, and at cornerback because of Jackrabbit Jenkins’ injury, we could see Borders and Hollister get the nod once again.

Strong’s chances of seeing the field will likely depend upon what happens with Teair Tart, who was ruled out in Week 12 with an ankle issue.

The Titans will return to action on Sunday when they host the Jaguars, with kickoff set for noon CT.

Tennessee Titans add WR, 2 DBs to practice squad

The Titans have filled the three open spots they had on the practice squad.

With three holes to fill on their practice squad, the Tennessee Titans have added a pair of defensive backs and a wide receiver to it, the team announced on Thursday.

After working out five defensive backs on Wednesday, Tennessee has added two of them: Picasso Nelson and Maurice Smith.

Adding to those two, the Titans have also brought back wide receiver Cody Hollister, who made the team’s 53-man roster out of training camp but was waived on September 15.

[lawrence-related id=45068]

It appears the Titans have made a clean switch at the position, as Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was promoted shortly after Hollister was waived.

The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Nelson went undrafted out of Southern Mississippi in 2019 and has never played in an NFL game. The 6-foot, 194-pound Smith has played in 15 games (one start) during his three-year career and has experience on special teams.

The Titans will hit the field on Sunday to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in what will be Tennessee’s home-opener.

Titans waive Cody Hollister, make change to practice squad

The Titans made a few moves on Tuesday, and one of them could signal that another signing is coming.

The Tennessee Titans made a few moves on Tuesday, one of which included waiving wide receiver Cody Hollister, who made the team’s initial 53-man roster out of training camp.

Additionally, the Titans replaced outside linebacker Jamal Davis on the practice squad with fellow outside linebacker, Tuzar Skipper.

Skipper entered the league as an undrafted free agent signing of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019, but was cut prior to the season. He then latched on with the New York Giants, where he played in six games last season.

The move to waive Hollister is an interesting one. The Titans now only have four wide receivers on their active roster, so it has to make you wonder if Tennessee is planning on adding another wideout at some point.

After winning their Week 1 contest over the Denver Broncos on Monday night, the Titans will take the field for their home-opener on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Titans vs. Ravens injury report: Key Titans replacements for divisional playoffs

Here’s a complete look at the injury report for both teams.

The Tennessee Titans took the practice field on Thursday ahead of the weekend’s postseason matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, but were without a pair of players.

Both linebacker Jayon Brown (shoulder) and wide receiver Adam Humphries have been ruled OUT for the upcoming game.

Wideout Cody Hollister (ankle) is considered to be questionable for game day.

The latter two have little effect on the team, considering Humphries has been out for the past five games and Hollister hasn’t made an impact since Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.

[lawrence-related id=24101]

But it’s hard to replace such a dominant player as Brown, especially against a Ravens team that employs tight ends so much in its passing attack.

When Brown was forced out of the game last week, the Titans used an evenly split combination of David Long and Wesley Woodyard, which they could be expected to do again.

The rookie Long has posted 15 tackles, one forced fumble and one pass defensed in 14 games this season, while Woodyard has 42 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in 2019 over 15 games.

Here’s a complete look at the injury report for both teams.
