Titans Release Offensive Lineman Andre Dillard

Futures contracts go into effect on the first day of the new league year. Since there are no practice squads during the offseason, teams are allowed to sign players for the offseason as they prepare for the next season.

Among the moves: The Titans promoted defensive lineman Ross Blacklock to the team's 53-man roster while also placing tight end Josh Whyle on Injured Reserve.

The Titans return to action on Sunday at Houston.

Among the moves: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons has been placed on season-ending Injured Reserve.

Davidson, who joined the team's practice squad earlier this season, has played in two games this season as a gameday elevation for the Titans.

Additionally, the team designated cornerback Caleb Farley to return to practice. Farley, who remains on the team's Physically Unable to Perform list, practiced on Wednesday.

Earlier this week the Titans signed defensive linemen Quinton Bohanna and Keondre Coburn after also placing defensive lineman Kyle Peko on Injured Reserve.

The Titans plucked Bohanna and Coburn off practice squads of the Lions and Chiefs, respectively.

The Titans signed Zentner following last week's injury to punter Ryan Stonehouse, who was placed on Injured Reserve earlier in the week.

Both players were injured in Sunday's game against the Colts. Stonehouse suffered a knee injury in the contest, while Jones suffered a finger injury.

The Titans added punter Ty Zentner and linebacker JoJo Domann to the team's practice squad.
