Aggravated assault charge against Titans RB Hassan Haskins dismissed

The aggravated assault charge against Titans RB Hassan Haskins has been dismissed.

After facing an aggravated assault charge stemming from a domestic incident in June, Tennessee Titans running back Hassan Haskins had the charge dismissed after a hearing on Wednesday, according to court documents.

Haskins, who is currently on the commissioner’s exempt list, was charged with felony aggravated assault by strangulation after a domestic disturbance with his then-girlfriend.

Haskins’ ex-girlfriend was also charged with aggravated assault, along with assault with a deadly weapon and felony vandalism. The status of those charges is currently unknown.

While on the commissioner’s exempt list, Haskins cannot practice or attend games. Prior to being moved there, Haskins was placed on season-ending injured reserve. If he reverts back to IR, Haskins would have to reach an injury settlement with the team to be removed and play in 2023. The severity of his injury is unknown.

Haskins appeared in 15 games (one start) with Tennessee during his rookie season and played 155 snaps on offense and 234 on special teams.

Titans’ Hassan Haskins placed on Commissioner Exempt List

Titans RB Hassan Haskins has been placed on the Commissioner Exempt List.

After originally being placed on injured reserve, ending his 2023 season before it began, Tennessee Titans running back Hassan Haskins has been moved to the Commissioner Exempt List by the league.

While on the list, Haskins cannot practice or attend games with the team. The 2022 fourth-round pick was arrested back in June after a domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend, which resulted in charges for both.

Haskins was charged with aggravated assault by strangulation while his then-girlfriend was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon and felony vandalism.

Haskins is set to have a court date for the charges on Aug. 30.

Haskins sustained the aforementioned injury during the preseason Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears. Details of it have not been revealed.

The Michigan product appeared in 15 games for the Titans last season, playing mostly on special teams. He tallied 25 carries for 93 yards and 11 receptions for 57 yards. Haskins averaged 21.8 yards per kick return, also.

Titans place RB Hassan Haskins on IR, ending his 2023 season

Hassan Haskins’ season is over. The Titans placed the second-year running back on IR.

With the deadline to get the roster all the way down to 53 players looming near, the Tennessee Titans are in the midst of parting ways with several players from practically every position group on the team.

However, the Titans made another somewhat shocking transaction on Monday afternoon as the team announced that they have placed running back Hassan Haskins on injured reserve, effectively ending his 2023 season before it even began.

While Tennessee’s running back room should be fine without him, this is a pretty big blow to the special teams, considering he was among the best players on the team in that area a year ago.

The Titans and Haskins could ultimately choose to mutually agree to an injury settlement, which would then allow Tennessee to part ways with the injured running back, but that doesn’t appear to be imminent just yet.

This likely means that both Julius Chestnut and Tyjae Spears will be Derrick Henry’s primary backups this season.

The Michigan product also had some serious allegations arise in his personal life, although an investigation is still pending in that regard.

The Titans invested a fourth-round pick on Haskins in 2022, where he only produced 93 rushing yards on 25 carries as a rookie.

5 running backs to watch as cutdowns approach to fill RB3 void

Could the Browns find their RB3 on the waiver wire?

Nobody wants the job of the third running back on the roster for the Cleveland Browns. They have given Demetric Felton every opportunity to win the job, and he has not seized the opportunity to this point. His aiming points are consistently wide of where they should be, he is a massive liability in pass protection, and there is no real need for a scatback on the roster.

However, in just six days, every NFL team will have to cut 37 players from their roster. Could a running back on another roster fit what the Browns need in a third running back? Here are five names to keep an eye on.

Titans waiting for legal process to play out with Hassan Haskins

The Titans are waiting on the legal process to play out with Hassan Haskins before making a decision on him.

After finding himself in legal trouble following an alleged domestic violence exchange with his girlfriend in June, the status of Tennessee Titans running back Hassan Haskins remains up in the air.

Of course, if Haskins is found to have done even one-tenth of what he’s been accused of, the Titans will certainly part ways with the former fourth-round pick.

However, as of right now, the Titans are waiting to see how things play out via the legal process before making a decision on him, as head coach Mike Vrabel explained on Tuesday.

“One, we’re very sensitive to those incidents. But we want to be smart, and we want to provide for all the facts and all the information we can possibly get, and the legal process,” Vrabel explained, per Jim Wyatt. “We treat those very seriously. We want to make great decisions but also want to give Hassan and everybody some due process and allow for all the facts to come out.”

Haskins is slated to serve as the Titans’ No. 3 running back this season behind Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears, while also having a role on special teams, including possibly in the return game.

The Michigan product’s scheduled trial date is set for August 30.

Titans RB Hassan Haskins’ trial date set for late August

Titans RB Hassan Haskins has a trial date set for August 30.

Tennessee Titans running back Hassan Haskins was arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault by strangulation last month after an alleged domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend on June 22.

A trial date has now been set in the case. According to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky, the trial date will be August 30, which is one day after final cuts on August 29.

Haskins was drafted by the Titans in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft and appeared in 15 games (one start), playing mostly on special teams. He figured to be the team’s No. 3 running back in 2023 behind Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears.

However, his status with the team is obviously up in the air, pending how the legal situation plays out and what facts come to light. As of now, he’s set to report to training camp on July 25.

If Haskins is found to have done the awful things he is accused of, he will certainly and rightly be release.

Derrick Henry reigns supreme, but will another Titans back emerge?

Will the Titans finally let another running back get in on the fun?

Every team in the NFL has two or three backs who are offensive contributors to some degree … except the Tennessee Titans. In the modern era of the NFL, no team has committed to the run and one player in particular (Derrick Henry) as much as Tennessee. Even at the height of their careers, LaDainian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson had a backup to carry some of the load. Not the Titans.

Last year, Henry had 382 touches in 16 games (349 rushes, 33 receptions). The second most carries by a running back was Hassan Haskins with 25 – 12 of those coming in the one game Henry missed.

This hasn’t been unusual. Since becoming the full-time starter in 2019, in 55 games, Henry has rushed 1,249 times – an astonishing 23 carries a game. Most players are lucky to rush 23 times once or twice a year, much less averaging that number over a four-year span. Head coach Mike Vrabel has built his offense around Henry, and no running back in the league is even close to the level of playing time that Henry gets. This may be the “Last Dance” in the Henry era, but the offense remains designed for Henry to run 25 times.

Titans training camp preview at RB: Locks, competitions, 53-man prediction

We take a look at the Titans’ roster locks, players on the bubble, the competitions set to take place and a 53-man projection for the running back position.

In our latest training camp preview, we take a look at the Tennessee Titans’ running backs room, which is spearheaded by one of the best in the business in Derrick Henry.

People have been trying to write Henry’s career obituary since he suffered a foot injury in 2021 that knocked him out for half of a season. However, folks will have to hold off on that.

That’s because Henry showed he’s still got plenty left in the tank following a season in which he tallied 1,538 yards on the ground despite having a putrid offensive line in front of him. He also tallied career-highs in receptions (33) and receiving yards (398).

Joining holdovers from last year like Julius Chestnut and Jonathan Ward are 2023 third-round pick, Tyjae Spears, and undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati, Charles McClelland.

So, let’s talk about it: here’s a look at Tennessee’s roster locks at the position, as well as the players on the bubble, the competition set to take place, and a 53-man projection for how it will all pan out.

1 veteran on roster bubble at each position on offense for the Titans

Shaun Calderon takes a look at one veteran from each position group on offense who’s on the roster bubble ahead of training camp.

As we inch closer to training camp with each passing day, the Tennessee Titans still have their fair share of position battles that need to be resolved at a handful of different spots.

While there are a few question marks atop the depth chart, the majority of these battles taking place are set to identify which players will ultimately secure a reserve role for themselves.

Several of these competitions include a veteran player or two who are right on the cusp of the roster bubble.

This article is going to discuss one veteran player at each position group on the offensive side of the ball who could find themselves on the outside looking in come roster cut day.

Some positions have obvious choices to make, while others are worthy of having a real debate. Let’s find out which offensive veterans I think are on the roster bubble heading into camp.

See it: Titans’ Treylon Burks got married during offseason break

Treylon Burks gives us a much-needed positive story about a Titans player during the offseason break.

While the news surrounding some Tennessee Titans players has been negative during the break in between the offseason program and training camp, it’s nice to see good things happening for at least one of them.

According to TMZ Sports, Burks tied the knot last Saturday with his wife, Shelby Pearlman, and the two went on a honeymoon to St. Lucia. If you’re into celebrity honeymoon/vacation photos, you can check Burks’ out in the hyperlink above.

Thanks to the amazing work of the wedding photographer, Mallory Luster, we did get a peek into Burks’ wedding, which took place in Arkansas, per Luster’s caption.

This should bring an extra big smile to the faces of Titans fans, who have seen two of their players get into trouble in the two weeks since the team’s offseason program ended.

Right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was suspended for six games for violating the league’s gambling policy (more on that here), and running back Hassan Haskins was arrested and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation after multiple alleged domestic violence exchanges with his ex-girlfriend (more on that here).

Titans rookies will report to training camp on July 22, while the rest of the team will arrive on July 25. In the meantime, let’s hope we get more positive stories like Burks’ and none like the other two.
