The Titans Continuing To Make Roster Moves Ahead Of First Training Camp Practice

The Tennessee Titans made a flurry of moves, including two workouts on Saturday as they prepare to begin training camp on Tuesday.

NASHVILLE - Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon has been busy over the last few days, first getting a deal in place for a veteran pass catcher, and on Saturday, he and the team made other moves. 

While neither move was a surprise, both cornerback Caleb Farley and offensive lineman Dillon Radunz were placed on the Physically Unable To Perform List (PUP) as Farley is still recovering from offseason surgery on his neck, and Radunz from surgery following a knee injury he suffered late last season. 

Both players count against the active 90-man roster, whose defensive back Josh Thompson was placed on the non-football injury list. 

 Meanwhile, veteran offensive tackle George Fant worked out in Nashville for the Titans on Saturday, according to a report by Jordan Shultz via his Twitter account. At the same time, there is a mutual interest; the two sides cannot agree. However, it seems that talks will continue between the two sides, and it is likely that something could happen here quickly as the Titans look to fill the void at right tackle caused by Nicholas Petite-Frere's six-game suspension to begin the season for violating the league's gambling rules.

Another report from Ian Rappaport indicates that the Titans also worked out former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Chris Hubbard on Saturday. 

Hubbard, 32, spent five seasons with the Browns but has played sparingly since 2020, appearing in only 16 games over those three seasons.  

According to Pro Football Focus, Hubbard played just 39 snaps last season and allowed only one sack in that limited play. He can play either guard or tackle and would be a versatile addition to the offensive front. However, there has been no indication that he was offered a deal or that either side has a remaining interest in a contract.
