Titans hosted five players for workouts on Tuesday

The Titans worked out a total of five players on Tuesday, including their former RB Jonathan Ward.

The Tennessee Titans spent their non-practice day bringing in a handful of players for workouts, one of which was a familiar face.

According to the league’s transactions wire, the Titans worked out one of their former players in running back Jonathan Ward, which was first reported on Monday by Justin Melo of The Draft Network.

Ward was with the team in 2022, appearing in three games and totaling five carries for 25 yards while playing mostly on special teams.

Tennessee brought Ward back this offseason and he looked to have a good shot to make the initial 53-man roster as the team’s third back before suffering an injury in preseason Week 1.

The Titans are in the market for a running back with the team only having two on the active roster (Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears) and one on the practice squad (Jacques Patrick).

Ward was just one of five players the Titans took a look at on Tuesday. Here’s the rest.

Former Patriots DE DaMarcus Mitchell signs with NFC West team

Former Patriots DE DaMarcus Mitchell has found a new home.

Former New England Patriots defensive end DaMarcus Mitchell signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, per the NFL’s transaction wire.

Mitchell was released by New England to make room for running back Ezekiel Elliott. He played in 16 of 17 games last season predominantly on special teams. At only 24 years old, he still has room to grow, and he could have potentially played a role on the New England defense.

He now serves as a piece for a Seattle defense that ranked 26th in the NFL last year with 361.7 yards allowed per game. He will be able to provide depth at a defensive end position that is headlined by Dre’Mont Jones.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick usually places an emphasis on special teams players. So it’s clear that the team simply ran out of room for Mitchell, who will now look to showcase his talents in the NFC West.

Patriots announce release of two special teams contributors

The Patriots were busy on Tuesday with multiple roster moves

Despite being on a plane ride to Wisconsin for joint practices with the Green Bay Packers, the New England Patriots were still busy with multiple roster transactions on Tuesday.

They confirmed the signing of former XFL linebacker Carson Wells, along with announcing the releases of defensive lineman DaMarcus Mitchell and long snapper Tucker Addington.

Mitchell was a significant contributor for the Patriots on special teams in 2022. He appeared in 16 games and was in on 71 percent of the special teams snaps that season.

Meanwhile, Addington was always considered a long-shot to make the roster with Patriots veteran long snapper Joe Cardona signing a new four-year deal with the team in the offseason.

It has been a busy couple of days for New England with the team also announcing the signing of running back Ezekiel Elliott on Monday.

The roster tinkering won’t be ending anytime soon with less than a month away from the 53-man deadline.

3 moves made by Patriots on the eve of training camp

The Patriots made three transactions on Tuesday

The New England Patriots were reportedly doing some last minute roster tinkering on Tuesday

Offensive tackle Calvin Anderson was placed on the non-football illness list, and defensive lineman DaMarcus Mitchell was put on the non-football injury list. Meanwhile, undrafted rookie defensive tackle Justus Tavai was removed from the PUP list.

Anderson is one of the veteran offensive lineman that could be competing for reps at the right tackle position. Riley Reiff, who currently has the edge as the starter, is 34 years old and has yet to cement himself as the go-to player for that role.

As for Mitchell, he played in 310 special teams snaps for the Patriots as a rookie last season, and he was surely hoping to build on that effort in training camp.

The good news is Justus Tavai, who is the brother of Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai, is coming off the physically unable to perform list. It’s crucial for him to get reps in training camp if he hopes to have a shot at making the team.

The Patriots are set to open training camp with their first official practice on Wednesday.

Patriots leading pass-rusher Matthew Judon goes down with ankle injury

Patriots announce two more players questionable to return with injuries, including leading pass-rusher Matthew Judon.

New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon went down with an ankle injury in Sunday’s AFC East divisional clash with the Buffalo Bills.

There’s no question every Patriots fan was holding their breath when seeing the leading pass-rusher getting medical attention on the sidelines. Judon has been on an absolute tear this season with 15.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. He was the lone Patriot that earned a nod for the 2023 Pro Bowl Games.

Heading into halftime, the Patriots announced Judon was questionable to return with an ankle injury, along with defensive lineman DaMarcus Mitchell.

It has been an injury-plagued game already with the Patriots also losing safety Jabrill Peppers. Both Peppers and Judon have been standing on the sidelines with hope they can get back into the game at some point.

Patriots OLB DaMarcus Mitchell whips out dance moves mid-practice

When the beat hit, DaMarcus Mitchell couldn’t help himself

The New England Patriots might be coming off a loss, but they aren’t even close to pressing the panic button. Coach Bill Belichick was all smiles at Friday morning’s press conference, and rookie outside linebacker DaMarcus Mitchell broke out a little dance mid-practice.

Per ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the playlist at Friday’s practice featured “Good Life” by Kanye West, “Drip Too Hard Remix” by Payper Corleone and “Usain Boo” by Kodak Black.

During the team’s stretching routine, Mitchell could be seen vibing heavily to “Usain Boo.” If anything, it’s more evidence against critics claiming New England isn’t a fun place to play.

But there’s obviously nothing more fun than winning football games, which is what the Patriots will try to do when traveling to Acrisure Stadium to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Mitchell and the rest of the defense are expected to carry the load for a Patriots offense still working to figure things out.
