Tennessee Titans Sign WR James Proche Following Receiver Shortage

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran wide receiver James Proche, who previously played for the Cleveland Browns, to bolster their receiving corps, which has been lacking depth following the departure of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Proche, known more for his special teams contributions than his receiving skills, has seen action in 19 games over the past two seasons, recording three catches for 21 yards and averaging nine yards on 49 punt returns. The Titans also signed Van Jefferson earlier this offseason, but the team still relies on inexperienced receivers behind Calvin Ridley, amplifying the need for Proche's experience. Proche announced his signing via Instagram, but details regarding the contract remain undisclosed. The move is part of a broader effort to revamp the special teams unit, as new coordinator John Fassel implements changes. Proche's experience as a return specialist is expected to enhance his chances of securing a roster spot for the upcoming season.
