The Titans moved on from a pair of linebackers Monday. The team announced that they’ve waived linebackers Ola Adeniyi and Joe Schobert.
Adeniyi joined the Titans prior to the 2021 campaign. During his first season in Tennessee, the linebacker collected 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks while playing a role on both defense and special teams.
After re-signing with the organization this past offseason, the 25-year-old got into two games before being sidelined with a neck injury.
He was activated for Week 13 but was a healthy scratch for Week 14, an indication that his spot on the roster could be at risk.
Schobert, a former Pro Bowler with the Browns, joined the Titans’ practice squad in late September.
He was signed to the active roster in mid-November and got into six games (one start) for his new squad, compiling 16 tackles.
The Titans added pass rusher Tarell Basham last week and immediately threw him into the fire, with the 28-year-old logging 26 defensive snaps.
With Zach Cunningham eyeing a return from injured reserve, pass-rushing snaps were clearly drying up, leading to Monday’s moves.
