Outside linebacker Jamal Davis is making the rounds of the AFC South.

Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans signed the undrafted rookie to their practice squad. A month into his first season as a professional he can now claim list of the division’s four teams on his résumé.

The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder spent the offseason and training camp with the Houston Texans but was cut at the start of the regular season. He spent three weeks of the regular season on the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad before being released.

To make room, they waived defensive lineman Lyndon Johnson, who was signed last week.

Davis was a two-time All-MAC honoree at Akron, where he played defensive end and twice led the team in tackles for loss (15 ½ in 2017 and 16 in 2018). He spent the final three years of his college career at Akron after two seasons at Pitt.

His history is consistent with other outside linebackers on the Titans’ active roster and practice squad. General manager Job Robinson has shown an affinity for undersized college defensive linemen who are fast enough to play linebacker in the NFL such as Reggie Gilbert and practice squad member Derick Roberson.
