Titans release Jacques Patrick from practice squad among 3 moves

The Titans made three practice squad moves on Tuesday.

The Tennessee Titans released running Jacques Patrick from the practice squad among three practice squad moves made on Tuesday. The team also signed linebacker Joseph Jones and running back Jonathan Ward to the practice squad, as was previously reported.

Patrick, 26, was on his seventh NFL team since entering the league in 2020. The Orlando native signed with the Titans prior to the 2023 season. He was waived at the end of August and re-signed to the team’s practice squad in mid-September.

Patrick had yet to appear in a regular season game for Tennessee but notably rushed for 76 yards on 15 carries in the Titans’ 23-7 preseason win over New England. With San Francisco in 2021, the Florida State product had two carries for 12 yards, including a rushing attempt that resulted in a first down.

Jones, 29, is familiar with the Titans, having first been signed to the practice squad in Sept. 2021. Following the season, the Plano, Illinois, native signed a reserve/futures contract. Prior to the start of the 2022 season, he was waived and signed to the team’s practice squad.

The Northwestern alum appeared in 24 games for the Titans, recording 24 tackles while primarily playing a special teams role. However, he did see 38 defensive snaps in 2022.

Ward returns to the Titans after signing to the practice squad in December 2022. Ward was brought back this past offseason and had a shot to make Tennessee’s roster before he suffered an injury and was waived.

The 26-year-old has seen 35 games in the NFL, including three games for the Titans last season. Ward accumulated five carries for 25 yards, including two for first downs. He also hauled in two catches for seven yards and played a role on special teams.

The Central Michigan standout originally signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent and saw a fair amount of the field.

In 32 games, Ward picked up 14 carries for 58 yards with the Cardinals between 2020 and 2022. He briefly spent time with the New York Jets organization before the Titans scooped him up late last year.

Titans add Jacques Patrick to practice squad, release Jordan Roos

The Titans made a pair of moves on the practice squad on Thursday, adding Jacques Patrick and releasing Jordan Roos.

The Tennessee Titans have made a pair of moves on their practice squad on Thursday.

The team announced it has officially added running back Jacques Patrick, which was reported earlier in the day. In a corresponding move, Tennessee released guard Jordan Roos.

Patrick was with the Titans during the offseason, appearing in two games during the preseason. Patrick, who is the only running back on the Titans’ practice squad, tallied 23 carries for 105 yards in the two contests before ultimately being let go on cutdown day.

Roos was thought to have a good shot to make the 53-man roster but was among the team’s final cuts before being brought back on the practice squad. With his departure, the Titans have three offensive lineman left in the group, with Justin Murray, John Ojukwu and Andrew Rupcich.

The corresponding move to let Roos was go was unexpected, as the Titans are allowed to have 17 players on the practice squad thanks to the exemption for tight end Thomas Odukoya, but the release of Roos leaves them with 16.

Titans signing RB Jacques Patrick to practice squad

The Titans are reportedly reuniting with running back Jacques Patrick.

The Tennessee Titans are making an addition to their practice squad ahead of the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

According to Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.com, the Titans are signing running back Jacques Patrick to the practice squad. This is Patrick’s second stint with Tennessee after being on the offseason roster prior to getting cut.

Patrick played in the Titans’ final two preseason games, totaling 23 carries for 105 yards. Prior to his stint with Tennessee, he was the leading rusher of the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL with 443 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and five touchdowns. He finished second on the team with 238 receiving yards.

The Titans don’t currently have a running back on their practice squad, and with 16 players listed in the group as of this writing, they won’t need to make a corresponding move to fit him in. The Titans have an exemption that allows them to carry a 17th thanks to Thomas Odukoya.

Titans waive DB Chris Jackson, make reported moves official

Another member of the Titans’ disappointing 2020 draft class has been released.

Following the recent addition of running back Jacques Patrick, the Tennessee Titans announced that they’ve parted ways with defensive back Chris Jackson to make room for the team’s new addition.

Jackson was a member of the largely disappointing 2020 draft class that legitimately has an argument to make for being the worst draft class in Titans history.

Five of the team’s six draft picks were let go before their second contract even expired, with Jackson being the latest victim.

The Marshall product had some nice moments on occasion, but he was far too inconsistent from a production and health standpoint to be a real valuable asset to the team.

Jackson finished his Titans tenure with 26 games played, tallying 59 tackles and five passes defended over that span.

On top of the Jackson and Patrick transactions, the Titans also made several other roster moves, including:

  • Signing defensive lineman Kyle Peko
  • Placing defensive tackle Shakel Brown on injured reserve
  • Activating defensive back Josh Thompson from the non-football injury list after he passed his physical

The Titans also worked out cornerback Ronald Darby on Monday, but a deal doesn’t appear to be imminent just yet.

Titans signing RB Jacques Patrick after successful workout

The Titans are signing RB Jacques Patrick after a successful workout on Monday.

The Tennessee Titans are adding a running back to their roster, as the team is signing Jacques Patrick after a successful workout on Monday.

According to his agent, via Justin Melo of Broadway Sports, the Titans are signing Patrick to a two-year deal. The financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Melo notes Patrick’s signing comes in the wake of fellow back Jonathan Ward suffering an injury during the preseason Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears. Ward was listed with a knee injury and exited early, but Melo reports that it’s minor.

Here’s some of what we wrote on Patrick in our previous write-up about his impending workout with Tennessee on Monday:

A former undrafted free-agent signing of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020, Patrick, who played his college ball at Florida State, has appeared in two games during his career, both coming in 2021 with the San Francisco 49ers, where Titans general manager Ran Carthon was at the time.

The 6-foot-3, 234-pound back tallied two carries for 12 yards in those contests while playing primarily on special teams.

On top of his time in the NFL, Patrick played for the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL last year. He was the team’s leading rusher with 443 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and five touchdowns. He finished second on the team with 238 receiving yards, also.

With Patrick in the fold, the Titans now have Ward, Derrick Henry, Hassan Haskins, Tyjae Spears and Julius Chestnut at the position. Along with Ward, Haskins was absent from practice on Monday, also.

Tennessee has been busy to start the week, as the team also inked defensive lineman Kyle Peko, who takes the roster spot of defensive lineman Shakel Brown after the 2023 UDFA suffered a season-ending injury on Saturday.

The Titans reportedly worked out veteran cornerback Ronald Darby, as well, but there hasn’t been any news of a signing there.

Report: Titans to work out RB Jacques Patrick on Monday

The Titans are reportedly set to work out RB Jacques Patrick on Monday.

UPDATE: The Tennessee Titans are signing running back Jacques Patrick after a successful workout on Monday (READ MORE).

The Tennessee Titans are reportedly set to take a look at a running back on Monday morning.

According to Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.com, the Titans are bringing in running back Jacques Patrick for a workout. The move comes in the wake of fellow running back Jonathan Ward suffering a knee injury that ended his preseason Week 1 early.

A former undrafted free-agent signing of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020, Patrick, who played his college ball at Florida State, has appeared in two games during his career, both coming in 2021 with the San Francisco 49ers, where Titans general manager Ran Carthon was at the time.

The 6-foot-3, 234-pound back tallied two carries for 12 yards in those contests while playing primarily on special teams.

The severity of Ward’s injury remains unknown, but this move might be a sign that the veteran back is set to miss time.

Aside from Ward, the Titans also have Derrick Henry, Tyjae Spears, Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut on the roster. Patrick would be facing an uphill climb to make the cut if signed.

Report: Vikings bring in RB Jacques Patrick for workout

After the injury to Alexander Mattison, the Minnesota Vikings brought in running back Jacques Patrick for a workout.

According to KPRC2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson, the Minnesota Vikings are bringing in running back Jacques Patrick for a workout. This come on the heels of Alexander Mattison hurting his hamstring during Tuesday’s practice.

Patrick played his college football at Florida State and went undrafted in the 2019 NFL draft. He got his first break with the Tampa Bay Vipers in the short 2020 XFL season and got a shot with the Cincinnati Bengals later that same year. He also spent time with San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.

Patrick went back to the XFL in 2023 with the San Antonio Brahmas and turned that into a deal with the Denver Broncos, but was released after only two weeks.

If the Vikings choose to sign Patrick, they will have to release someone off the roster in a corresponding move.

Sean Payton comments on Broncos cutting 3 running backs

Broncos coach Sean Payton downplayed cutting three running backs, saying the team wanted roster space to look at players at other positions.

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

In less than a week, the Denver Broncos recently parted ways with three running backs: Jacques Patrick, Tyreik McAllister and Damarea Crockett.

Those three cuts left the team with just five running backs on the 90-man offseason roster. Some speculated that the cuts were good news for the recovery status of Javonte Williams.

Others have speculated that the Broncos are making room for a big-name addition at running back, such as Dalvin Cook.

Denver coach Sean Payton downplayed both possibilities during his media availability last week, suggesting that the Broncos made cuts at RB simply to have roster space to get a look at players at other positions.

“Part of [roster cuts] is just it’s normal with this roster that you are going to churn certain position groups based on getting a chance to look at other players,” Payton said on June 8. “It just so happens that a couple have been at running back.”

Whether or not Payton is being truthful remains to be seen. We’ll be keeping an eye on Cook’s status in the coming days.

Broncos made 4 roster moves on Wednesday

The Broncos signed K Elliott Fry and TE Tommy Hudson and cut RBs Tyreik McAllister and Jacques Patrick. 

The Denver Broncos made three other roster moves after signing kicker Elliott Fry to replace Brandon McManus on Wednesday.

To make room for Fry on the 90-man offseason roster, the team waived running back Tyreik McAllister. It’s a tough break for McAllister, who was just cut and re-signed about three weeks ago. He’s now hitting the waiver wire for the second time this offseason.

After that, the Broncos signed tight end Tommy Hudson, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Hudson (6-5, 255 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State with the Tennessee Titans in 2020. He tried out for the team at rookie minicamp last month.

Hudson has spent most of the last three seasons either on the practice squad or injured reserve. He played in five games in 2021, catching three passes for 31 yards. Hudson becomes the sixth tight end on the roster, joining Greg Dulcich, Adam Trautman, Chris Manhertz, Albert Okwuegbunam and Nate Adkins.

To make room for Hudson, Denver cut running back Jacques Patrick, a former XFL player who signed with the team in May. After cutting McAllister and Patrick, the Broncos’ remaining running backs on the roster are Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, Tony Jones, Damarea Crockett, Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin.

Broncos officially announce 8 roster moves

The Broncos made four roster cuts this week to make room for Kareem Jackson, Tyreik McAllister and a pair of XFL players.

After some roster shuffling, the Denver Broncos have set their 90-man offseason roster ahead of the start of organized team activities.

The Broncos officially waived four players on Monday and re-signed two players. Denver then signed two more players on Tuesday, filling out the roster ahead of the summer.

Here’s a quick recap of the moves the Broncos have made over the last 48 hours.
