After a lost 2019 season, it looks as though former Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop is healthy in a recent workout video posted to social media.
Succop had offseason knee surgery last year and ended up on IR at the start of the campaign after he felt his knee wasn’t right. Upon his return, Succop struggled mightily, leading to his being placed back on IR to end his season.
Now the veteran kicker is a free agent after Tennessee cut him earlier this offseason, so naturally he’s looking to show potential suitors that everything is all good with his knee — and he did so via this workout video where he crushes a few 60-yard field goals.
And with the NFL’s tryout ban now lifted, fire up the workout videos …

Succop will no doubt draw some interest from teams around the league, but could the Titans be one of them?
The Titans could use more competition for the starting kicker job in training camp with both Greg Joseph and Tucker McCann lacking experience, and Succop would be a great addition in order to accomplish that.
Also, general manager Jon Robinson has said he won’t close the door on a reunion with Succop, so he’s at least on the team’s radar as a potential option.
Now, this is not to say Succop should simply be handed the keys to the car once again. Instead, he should be forced to prove he’s all the way back by competing against and beating Joseph and McCann in camp.
Once he were to accomplish that, Tennessee could have some confidence that he’ll return to the steady, consistent form he showed during his first five seasons in Nashville.
