The Tennessee Titans worked out four players on Saturday in the hopes of finding someone who can help to improve the depth along the trenches on both sides of the ball.
According to the league’s transactions wire, defensive tackles Jalen Dalton and Khalil Davis, and offensive tackles Rashaad Coward and Justin Murray all received a look from the Titans on Saturday.
Murray apparently did well enough to earn himself a contract with the team following his workout, as the Titans announced they had signed him in the afternoon.
It was well known the Titans were in the market for an offensive lineman, especially after the release of Jamarco Jones. However, the team taking a look at defensive linemen is something new.
The interest likely has something to do with Naquan Jones missing practice on Friday and the Titans possibly needing camp bodies moving forward.
Dalton appeared in seven games for the Atlanta Falcons last season, so he has the Arthur Smith connection. He played 145 defensive snaps and 33 special teams snaps, tallying 13 tackles (one for loss).
Davis is a former sixth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and has played in just three contests during his career, with his most recent game coming in 2021 with the Indianapolis Colts.
As for Coward, he’s played in 38 games (20 starts) over his career since he entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2017.
Interestingly enough, he’s actually played on both sides of the ball in that span, but the vast majority of his snaps have come at guard and tackle. He was listed as a tackle on the transactions wire, also. Clearly the Titans preferred Murray over the Old Dominion product.
