The Tennessee Titans are making some final adjustments before their Week 6 battle with the Las Vegas Raiders and have once again tapped into the practice squad for some assistance.
Tennessee decided to use standard elevations for Curtis Jacobs and Matthew Wright to ensure they are ready for the matchup. The elevation of Wright was expected with kicker Joey Slye declared out on Friday. Wright is an experienced kicker who had some success for the Titans in 2024 as a replacement for Nick Folk.
Jacobs' elevation coincides with edge Arden Key being sidelined. With Key out, Jihad Ward is expected to play primarily on the edge in a three-man rotation with Femi Oladejo and Dre’Mont Jones for the Titans’ defense, opening the door for some added linebacker depth.
The Titans also made a small adjustment to their roster by signing Kendell Brooks and Thomas Odukoya to the 53-man roster. Titans Wire covered Brooks' signing on Friday, pointing to his special teams value, and the same can be said for Odukoya, who has demonstrated special teams ability during his time in Nashville.
To make room for Odukoya, the Titans waived offensive tackle John Ojukwu. With tackle JC Latham back in the fold and Ojukwu falling behind Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson on the depth chart, this move was predictable, with a need for some versatile special teams depth.
The Titans will take on the Raiders in Las Vegas on Sunday in Week 6 action.
