Titans Signing P Thomas Morstead To Practice Squad

Incumbent P Tommy Townsend went down with a knee injury this week, so Tennessee needs a potential replacement. 

Morstead, 40, was originally drafted in the fifth round by the Saints back in 2009. In 2012, Morstead signed a six-year contract extension worth $21.9 million. Morstead re-signed with the Saints again in 2018, this time with a four-year, $15.85 million deal.

The Saints released Morstead with two years left on his contract. He caught on with the Jets as an injury replacement for starting P Braden Mann but was cut when Mann returned. 

Morstead then signed on with the Falcons for the remainder of the 2021 season and later caught on with the Dolphins for the 2022 season.

The Jets signed him to a contract in March of 2023. New York then gave him a two-year deal for the 2024 season, only to release him in May of 2025. He then signed a one-year deal with the 49ers for 2026. 

In 2026, Morstead appeared in all 17 games for the 49ers and punted 44 times with a 43.6 average, one touchback and 22 kicks placed inside the 20.
