The Tennessee Titans announced they have activated another player off the Reserve/COVID-19 list, as tight end Geoff Swaim will officially join the 53-man roster.
The Titans cleared space for Swaim by waiving cornerback Chris Jones, and linebacker Justin March-Lillard was waived off the COVID-19 list as well.
Tennessee now has three players left on the list, including right guard Nate Davis, center Ben Jones and offensive lineman Cole Banwart. Head coach Mike Vrabel says he expects Jones and Davis to be activated this week.

Swaim is expected to play a significant role at tight end this season, along with fellow tight end Anthony Firkser. Swaim should serve as the Titans’ blocking specialist, while Firkser will be the top pass-catching tight end.
However, that scenario will depend upon how improved Firkser is as a blocker. If he can prove to be reliable in that area, he could play more of an every-down role for Tennessee in 2021.
