Titans’ Quandre Diggs on Jamal Adams ‘It sucks he’s not here anymore’

Tennessee Titans S Quandre Diggs spoke to reporters after his friend Jamal Adams was released on Thursday.

Early Thursday, the Tennessee Titans released former Pro Bowl S Jamal Adams after his short stint on the reserve/non-football injury list. 

Adams, who signed with the Titans in July, was never able to make the impact on the field that the team envisioned when signing him to a one-year deal. Injuries buried him on the depth chart, and he was limited to 20 defensive snaps in three games. 

Even with his minimal production on the field, Adams’ presence will continue to be felt even after his release. As S Quandre Diggs points out, Adams is the main reason he signed with Tennessee this offseason, and Diggs is a major contributor to the Titans’ defense. 

“It sucks that he’s not here anymore,” Diggs said, “He’s the reason I came here.”

While he didn’t go into specifics about Adams’s plans moving forward, it was clear that Adams was frustrated with the situation in Tennessee and that the rift between him and the organization could not be repaired. The Titans signed Tre Avery on Tuesday to take Adams’s open roster spot and add secondary depth.

Around the NFL: Titans release S Jamal Adams

Around the NFL: Titans release S Jamal Adams

The Jamal Adams era in the Music City has reached its finale. On Thursday, the former Seattle Seahawk and New York Jet requested to be released from the Titans, and Tennessee granted his request. Adams signed a veteran minimum contract with the Titans in July. Now, he is seeking his fourth NFL home.

This moves comes after Adams was hardly utilized by Tennessee. Despite the league already being in Week 7, Adams appeared in only three games for a grand total of 20 defensive snaps. In those, he only recorded four tackles. Adams has not played since appearing for one play in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins.

Of course, one cannot help but think about how the Seahawks were open to bringing Adams back, on the basis he switch positions from safety to linebacker. Adams was not interested in doing so. Given how much Seattle’s linebacking corps have struggled this year, Adams would have most assuredly played more than 20 snaps with the Seahawks as a linebacker.

Perhaps Adams’ tune might change should Seattle still be interested in getting more help along the defensive front. At the very least, both sides should have a conversation about it. For all of Adams’ struggles in coverage, he still has a skillset that would translate well into the Seahawks inconsistent pass rush.

Titans grant safety Jamal Adams’ request for release

Tennessee Titans safety Jamal Adams requested his release from the team, and reports indicate that the team is honoring that request.

Tennessee Titans safety Jamal Adams has been unhappy in Tennessee for some time. Last week, Adams was placed on the “Reserve/Non-football Injury” list and inactive for the team’s outing against the Indianapolis Colts due to his growing frustration.

Adams requested his release from the Titans, and it’s now being reported that the Titans will grant his request.

The Titans just signed Adams during the offseason, and he expressed frustration with his lack of playing time just a few weeks into the season. He’s appeared in three games for the Titans, recording just four tackles (two solo).

Originally drafted by the New York Jets in 2017, Adams played there for three seasons before playing four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. His in-game appearances have dwindled over the last few seasons, partially due to injury issues but partially due to his attitude around everything.

Adams is now a free agent who can sign anywhere. He is healthy and says he’s looking forward to his next opportunity.

The Titans have already been playing without Adams, so his loss doesn’t mean much with regard to playing time.

Titans ‘working through things’ with S Jamal Adams

The Tennessee Titans place S Jamal Adams on the reserve/non-football injury list and the team remains tight lipped on the situation.

On Saturday, the Tennessee Titans quietly placed defensive back Jamal Adams on the reserve/non-football injury list. This was a curious move, as Adams was already declared out for the Week 6 game due to a hip injury.

On Wednesday, head coach Brian Callahan addressed the media briefly and mentioned that the team is ‘working through’ some things with Adams.

“There’s some things we’re working through that are still kind of ongoing,” Callahan said when asked about the situation. “I’ll let that be for now.”

That is a vague answer that points to something deeper. Since no specifics were given during his media availability, it could point to frustrations from both sides that led to this point.

Being on the reserve/non-football injury list will keep Adams out for at least four weeks. But it also adds to the questions of uncertainty surrounding the situation.

A former first-round pick of the Jets, Adams signed a one-year deal with the Titans in July and has been battling a hip injury from the start.  After missing the season opener with his injury, he has been unable to work his way into a steady rotation with Quandre Diggs and Amani Hooker.

In the three games he was available, he recorded only 20 snaps on defense and made very little impact when he was on the field. It’s a far cry from the All-Pro player who was traded from the Jets to the Seattle Seahawks.

With the Titans struggling at 1-4, this is a distraction that the team doesn’t need as they attempt to jumpstart their season. Especially as they turn their attention to their Week 7 tilt with the Buffalo Bills.

Titans place Jamal Adams on Reserve-Non Football Injury list

The Titans placed safety Jamal Adams on the Reserve-Non Football Injury list on Saturday with a hip injury. He will miss four games.

[lawrence-related id=151877,151833,151865]The Tennessee Titans signed veteran safety Jamal Adams in July, and he has been dealing with a hip injury almost the entire time he’s been with the Titans. He missed Week 1 with the injury and was already ruled out for the Week 6 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, and now he’s been placed on the “Reserve-Non Football Injury” list, according to Jim Wyatt.

Adams has appeared in three games this season, recording four tackles (two solo), but has only been on the field for 8.47% of defensive snaps. He has expressed frustration with his lack of time on the field, but perhaps this is exactly why the Titans haven’t played the veteran.

Being placed on the non-football injury list means that Adams will miss four games before he is eligible to return. Injuries have defined Adams’ career the last few seasons, but maybe some time off to rest is all he needs.

The Titans host the Colts on Sunday at Nissan Stadium at 1pm EDT.

Titans injury report: Jeffery Simmons returns, Jamal Adams sits out

The Tennessee Titans released their injury report for their Week 6 match-up with the Indianapolis Colts and saw their star defensive tackle return.

The Tennessee Titans returned to the practice field on Thursday in preparation for their Week 6 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts and saw multiple players increase their workload.

After seeing six players out or limited on Wednesday, they saw the majority return for full practice on Thursday. This is great news for DT Jeffery Simmons, who missed the Week 4 match-up with the Dolphins and was limited by his elbow injury. 

Joining Simmons in returning was WR Treylon Burks, WR DeAndre Hopkins and CB L’Jarius Sneed.

The Titans still have nine players listed on their injury report, but only S Jamal Adams (hip) and DT Keondre Coburn (knee) did not practice in any capacity.

The Titans’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: S Jamal Adams (hip), Keondre Coburn (knee)

Limited participant: N/A

Full participant: WR DeAndre Hopkins (NIR), DT Jeffery Simmons (elbow), CN L’Jarius Sneed (NIR), QB Will Levis (shoulder), LB Ernest Jones (elbow), LB Cedric Gray (shoulder), Treylon Burks (NIR)

Titans injury report: Will Levis practices, Jeffery Simmons limited

The Tennessee Titans released their first Week 6 injury report and see their young quarterback return to the field.

The Tennessee Titans returned to the practice field to start preparing for their Week 6 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, and it provided an opportunity to see where several of the team’s injured players are.

All eyes were on quarterback Will Levis and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Levis, who injured his shoulder against the Miami Dolphins in their Week 4 victory, was a full participant and is working toward being available. Simmons was not as fortunate; he was a limited participant with his elbow injury.

The Titans have nine players listed on their injury report, but only safety Jamal Adams (hip), wide receiver Treylon Burks (NIR) and defensive tackle Keondre Coburn (knee) did not practice in any capacity.

The Titans’ Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: S Jamal Adams (hip), WR Treylon Burks (NIR), Keondre Coburn (knee)

WATCH: Alontae Taylor grabs his fourth sack of the season

Alontae Taylor grabbed his fourth sack of the season in Week 3. He’s almost halfway there to setting an NFL record:

Update: This story was updated to add new information. The NFL split this  sack between Alontae Taylor and Carl Granderson, so Taylor is at 3.5 sacks this season.

The New Orleans Saints pressure has been strong through the first few weeks of the season, especially so from defensive back Alontae Taylor, who snagged his fourth sack of the 2024 season already. He is already well on his way to the single-season sacks record for a defensive back, which is held by Jamal Adams, with 9.5 sacks back in 2020.

Taylor has gotten almost completely free on his blitzes, too, with no one covering him in multiple instances. If he can continue this pace, it could be an outstanding season for the young cornerback, and for the pass-rush unit as well. We’ve seen Dennis Allen blitz his nickel corners and safeties before but Taylor is quickly catching up on guys like Roman Harper.

Titans-Jets Week 2: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The Tennessee Titans lost their Week 2 game against the New York Jets. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The Tennessee Titans once again watched a winnable game go by the wayside on Sunday, this time falling to Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, 24-17.

For the second straight week, a solid defensive performance was wasted thanks to untimely turnovers and offensive ineptitude in big moments.

With the loss, the Titans fall to 0-2 on the season.

Now let’s take a closer look at the snap counts that contributed to the Titans’ Week 2 defeat.

Offensive snaps: 66
Defensive snaps: 57
Special teams snaps: 26

There isn’t much rotation happening on either side of the ball for Tennessee right now. The 11 starters, particularly on defense, are taking on the bulk of the snaps and that will have an impact later in the season should it continue.

Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins saw more time this week as he battles back from a knee injury. However, his production remains nearly non-existent.

Safety Jamal Adams, in his Titans debut, took just two defensive snaps.
