NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Titans have added cornerback Cody Riggs back to the team's active roster.

Riggs initially made the team's 53-man roster, but he was released late last week when the team claimed former Patriots lineman Josh Kline off waivers.

Riggs, who played in 11 games for the Titans last season, initially joined the team as an undrafted free agent in May 2015. Riggs had six tackles and two passes defensed in 2015, along with a forced fumble and fumble recovery on special teams.

To make room for Riggs, the Titans waived quarterback Alex Tanney, who was inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Vikings.
