The Tennessee Titans shared some great news on Friday morning, announcing the activation of outside linebacker Bud Dupree from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
Dupree, who suffered a torn ACL as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers in December last season, had yet to participate in any Titans practice this offseason. Now that he has passed his physical, he can join the team.
With his much-anticipated debut finally here, Dupree is now on track to play in Week 1, barring any setbacks.
The 28-year-old pass-rusher made his practice and training camp debut on Friday when the Titans returned to the practice field following a day off. Here’s a quick look at Dupree taking part in his first session of 2021.

As far as where Dupree and the Titans go from here, expect things to be taken slow like we’ve seen with cornerback Caleb Farley and left tackle Taylor Lewan.
The Kentucky product will do light work early on until the team can ramp him up and get him fully participating.
