The Tennessee Titans have signed an Alabama alumnus, A.J. Brown, to their active roster ahead of their game in London. Brown, a wide receiver, was originally on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury but has now been activated. The Titans hope his presence will boost their offense as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a crucial game. Brown, who was selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, has shown promise in his rookie season and the team is excited to have him back on the field..
The Tennessee Titans signed safety Shyheim Carter and defensive tackle Taylor Stallworth to their 53-player active roster on Saturday.
Both players were on the Titans’ practice squad and had accompanied the team to London, where Tennessee will play the Baltimore Ravens at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
After being released eight times after entering the NFL as an undrafted rookie in 2020, Carter made his regular-season debut on Oct. 1 when the Titans elevated the Alabama alumnus from their practice squad for a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. In a 27-3 victory, Carter had 11 defensive snaps and 11 special-teams plays and registered one tackle.
Carter originally joined Tennessee on Dec. 30, 2021, as a member of the practice squad, where he had spent his in-season time with the team until Saturday.
A prep standout at Murphy in Mobile, Stallworth just joined the Titans as a practice squad member on Monday.
Tennessee is Stallworth’s third NFL team this year. The Houston Texans released him after he sustained a hamstring injury in the offseason program. He went through training camp and the preseason with Carolina before starting the season on the Panthers’ practice squad. Released by Carolina, Stallworth re-signed with Houston for practice-squad duty but was released on Oct. 7.
Stallworth has played in 57 NFL regular-season games with four teams since joining the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted rookie in 2018.
