Some huge news from the Tennessee Titans on Monday morning, as the team announced it has activated 2021 first-round pick and cornerback, Caleb Farley, off the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list.
Also, offensive tackle Ty Sambrailo and running back Jeremy McNichols have been activated off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
All three players have passed their respective physicals and are eligible to return to practice. We’ll see if the trio will make their debuts on Monday, when practice begins at 9:30 a.m. CT.
Farley was placed on the NFI list at the start of training camp, as he needed more time to recover from his March back surgery. The hope is that now he can begin competing for, and eventually win, a starting role.
Sambrailo is one of three players who figures to have a shot at the starting right tackle spot. The veteran suffered an undisclosed injury while filling in for left tackle Taylor Lewan last season that ended his campaign early.
McNichols has an uphill climb in making the roster. We project three locks at running back in Derrick Henry, Darrynton Evans and Khari Blasingame (fullback), with Brian Hill being the No. 4 if the Titans carry that many.
With McNichols, Sambrailo and Farley back, the Titans now have 2020 standout reserve offensive lineman Aaron Brewer on NFI, and outside linebacker Bud Dupree on the PUP.
