Tennessee Titans reveal initial 53-man roster for 2022

The Tennessee Titans have revealed their initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2022 campaign.

After a month-plus of training camp and preseason, the Titans have their initial group ahead of the regular season, which begins on Sept. 11 in Nashville against the New York Giants.

Tennessee had no shortage of tough decisions to make, including at punter, where the team parted ways with long-time punter and fan-favorite, Brett Kern, in favor of rookie Ryan Stonehouse.

For those who have gotten cut, this may not be the end of the road for them in Nashville, as the team could bring some of them back on the practice squad after they clear waivers. That process will take place Wednesday.

And, while the initial 53-man group has been revealed, it might not be long before the Titans are shuffling things on the roster, as Tennessee will likely add players via waivers, free agency or trade in the week-plus after.

Also, players who make the cut could land on injured reserve before the start of the season, which would open up a roster spot.

Now, without further ado, the initial 53-man roster for the Titans.
