The Tennessee Titans have released their first practice squad for the 2027 season. It includes 16 players. They are allowed to have 17. My assumption is that they are holding that last spot for Xavier Restrepo, who was released today. They have to wait until he clears waivers tomorrow to officially add him. Of course, there is a chance that another team will claim him.

They went heavy on receivers, which makes sense considering they only have five receivers currently on the active roster. They can elevate two players each week to the active roster. As long as they only have five receivers on the active roster, I would expect one of the players elevated to be a receiver.

It is interesting that they did not sign Bryce Oliver to the practice squad. Special teams coordinator Bones Fassel raved about Oliver’s play on special teams last week. I thought for sure he would be one of the guys they added.
