Brian Callahan Issues Statement on Joey Slye Amid Titans’ Active Search for New Kicker

Two weeks into the season, Joey Syle looked like the Titans’ most reliable weapon. But now the kicker seems to search for his spark. He has missed four straight attempts, including a pair of first-half misfires from 41 and 43 yards in Houston. Those misses loomed large as Tennessee could have advanced to the halftime tied 6-6 before ultimately falling to Houston in an embarrassing 26-0 loss on September 28. Naturally, questions started swirling over the Titans’ kicker. But head coach Brian Callahan wasn’t flinching.

He brushed off all the speculations as “normal flow of operations.” Callahan even doubled his beliefs in Syle and said, “He has been fantastic for us, I believe whole-heartedly in Joey. I’ll send him right out there again to kick it again.” Despite Slye’s recent slump, Callahan’s message seems clear: the Titans’ trust in their kicker remains intact, and he will be seen kicking the ball in week 5 as well.
