Titans part ways with 3 players in Tuesday roster moves

The Titans parted ways with three injured players on Tuesday.

The Tennessee Titans parted ways with three players on Tuesday, per the league’s transactions wire, releasing center Spencer Pulley and defensive back Greg Mabin, and waiving tight end Donnie Ernsberger.

Pulley was signed by the Titans on July 30 to provide some depth competition at center but he landed on Injured Reserve on Aug. 5.

Mabin, who spent time on the Titans’ practice squad in 2020 and was re-signed by the team back in May, was also placed on IR the same day as Pulley. Both players were released with injury settlements.

Meanwhile, it was an even shorter stay in Nashville for Ernsberger, as the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer was signed on Aug. 5. He suffered an injury during practice on Monday.

The Titans will hit the practice field on Wednesday evening starting at 5 p.m. CT for what will be their final session before the preseason opener in Atlanta against the Falcons on Friday.

Titans expected to sign FB/TE Donnie Ernsberger

The Titans will reportedly add a tight end/fullback to their roster.

The Tennessee Titans look to be adding to their training camp roster soon, as the team will reportedly ink former Tampa Bay Buccaneers fullback/tight end, Donnie Ernsberger.

The signing was first reported by Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, and then confirmed by Justin Melo of Music City Miracles.

Ernsberger was originally an undrafted free agent signing of the Bucs out of Michigan back in 2018. He played some linebacker for the Wolverines in his freshman season, but moved over to tight end in the years that followed.

The 24-year-old recorded 45 catches for 528 yards and five touchdowns during his collegiate career.

The 6-foot-2, 237-pound tight end/fullback has appeared in just two games during his NFL career, both of which came in 2018. Ernsberger played 26 snaps that season, six on offense and 20 on defense.

The Titans figure to have the fullback position wrapped up with Khari Blasingame, but there is some uncertainty at the tight end position, particularly with the team’s depth options.

Regardless, Ernsberger will have an uphill climb in making the final cut.
