Titans Waive Dowell, Sign Landers and Ward Amid Roster Shakeup

The Tennessee Titans have made several roster moves and adjustments ahead of the 2025 NFL season. The team waived wide receiver Colton Dowell, who suffered an ACL injury in 2023, and signed wide receiver Matt Landers, a 25-year-old undrafted free agent with practice squad experience on multiple teams but no regular-season NFL game appearances. To bolster their pass rush after the unexpected retirement of Lorenzo Carter, the Titans signed linebacker Jihad Ward, formerly of the Minnesota Vikings, who has experience as both an interior and edge rusher. Additionally, there is speculation that the Titans could pursue Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Felix Anudike-Uzomah to add youth and potential to their defensive front. The Titans are also optimistic about their young talent, with first-round offensive lineman Peter Skoronski and second-round defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat both recognized on NFL.com’s All-Under-25 team, highlighting their potential to be foundational players as the franchise rebuilds. These moves signal the Titans’ proactive approach to improving key positions as they prepare for training camp and the upcoming season.
