The Tennessee Titans are crossing a few names off the list -- at least for now -- following the end of rookie minicamp.
Per team reporter Jim Wyatt, the Titans have waived former West Florida cornerback Virgil Lemons and former Auburn safety Jerrin Thompson. Both players were among the 16 undrafted rookies signed by the Titans following the 2025 NFL Draft.
Additionally, the Titans announced the signings of wide receiver TJ Sheffield and tight end Drake Dabney after performing at rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

He then transferred to Auburn for the 2024 season, where he played in 12 games while posting 65 total tackles, one sack and two interceptions.
