NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans announced Sunday that they have added veterans LB Gary Guyton and S Corey Lynch to the roster and waived DE Thaddeus Gibson and S Robert Johnson (failed physical).
Guyton (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) has played in five NFL seasons with the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers. An undrafted college free agent in 2008, he signed with the New England Patriots where he played 60 games, including 32 starts, during his four years there. For his NFL career, Guyton has totaled 143 tackles, 4.5 sacks, three interceptions, one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries.

Guyton played his college football at Georgia Tech and will wear No. 54 with the Titans.

Originally a sixth-round selection by the Cincinnati Bengals from Appalachian State in the 2008 NFL Draft, he has played for the Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Diego. One of his finest seasons came in 2010 for the Buccaneers, when he played in all 16 games (5 starts) and totaled 24 tackles, one interception and 18 special teams tackles. Last year, he played in all 16 games for the Chargers and posted 47 tackles, two interceptions and eight special teams stops. Lynch will wear No. 41 with the Titans.
