Titans Work Out S Jordan Whitehead

Tony Adams is set to step into Hooker’s starting role alongside Kevin Winston. Terrell Burgess will move to the No. 3 role as the only other safety on the 53-man roster. The Titans have Isaiah Oliver and Erick Hallett available on the practice squad and will likely need depth to see out the season.

Enter Whitehead, a 29-year-old with 101 starts in his seven-year career. He has not played since 2024 due to a January 2025 car crash that resulted in a neck fracture. He was medically cleared before the 2025 season and received interest from the Falcon and Ravens, but did not land a roster spot. He explored options with the Texans, Colts, and Steelers this year, and still remained unsigned.

Whitehead could find a much more willing taker in the Titans. He played arguably his best two seasons under Robert Saleh in New York in 2022 and 2023, starting all 34 games with 186 tackles (seven for loss), six interceptions, and 17 passes defended. A reunion could see him quickly slide into a role in the Titans defense given his familarity with Saleh’s scheme.

Reed, 26, was a Seahawks sixth-round pick in 2023. He was waived last November and claimed by the Titans, for whom he played three games (one start) to close out the year. He re-signed in Tennessee in March, but was waived during final roster cuts before the regular season.

Williams, 24, is an undrafted rookie out of Cincinnati who suffered a hip injury during his preseason with the Buccaneers. They waived him from injured reserve in September. He has since recovered and worked out for the Saints.

Whitehead seems like the strongest candidate to be signed, though the Titans may wait until after their Week 10 matchup with the Jaguars to make a final decision.
