Terry McCormick (@terrymc13): Titans roster moves: Releasing TE Matt Lauter Reserve/injured DB Nazeeh Johnson Signing DE Tanoh Kpassagnon Signing LB Milo Eifler
Carrying the moves: tight end Matt Lauter was released, while defensive back Nazeeh Johnson lands on reserve/injured. On the addition side, Tennessee signed veteran defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon and linebacker Milo Eifler. Kpassagnon, a former Chiefs and Saints edge defender, brings rotational pass-rush depth, while Eifler adds off-ball linebacker depth behind the starters. The moves were first reported by Titans beat writer Terry McCormick.
With the preseason winding down, more churn on the bottom of the 90-man roster should be expected before the league's cutdown deadline.
