The Tennessee Titans announced that they’ve cut five players on Tuesday as they got down to the 85-player limit ahead of the deadline.

The full list includes:

WR Josh Malone
RB Jordan Wilkins
DB Deante Burton
DL Haskell Garrett
OL Carson Green

Burton, 28, wound up signing on with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent out of Kansas State back in 2017. He was waived coming out of the preseason and was later signed to their practice squad.

The Falcons brought Burton back on a futures contract only to waive him again at the start of the regular season. He had a brief stint with the Packers before re-signing to the Falcons’ practice squad.

The Texans signed Burton to their active roster only to release him coming out of the preseason. He caught on with the Colts practice squad later in the season when the Cowboys then brought him on board in 2019. He was on and off of the practice squad in Dallas for the next three seasons.

The Titans signed him earlier in the week.

In 2021, Burton appeared in one game for the Cowboys but recorded no statistics.
