Tennessee Titans worked out TE, 2 WRs among 5 players on Friday

The Tennessee Titans were busy taking a look at some free-agent pass-catchers on Friday, but that wasn’t the only position they checked out.

Earlier in the day, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reported that the Titans had worked out a pair of linebackers in Jordan Evans and Andre Smith.

Here’s some background on each from our earlier article:

A former sixth-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017, Evans appeared in 65 games over five seasons with Cincy, starting nine of them. He has totaled 127 tackles (six for loss), 3.5 sacks and seven passes defensed.

Smith was a seventh-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2018 and has played in 46 games (no starts) over four seasons, two with the Panthers and two with the Buffalo Bills. The North Carolina product has recorded 27 tackles and forced and recovered one fumble.

Neither Evans nor Smith have suited up in a game this season.

Tennessee’s interest in a linebacker likely has to do with the current status of Zach Cunningham, who reinjured his elbow in Week 9 and will miss another game.

The position the Titans really should be looking at the most is wide receiver, and they did exactly that on Friday by bringing in two wideouts and one former wideout-turned-tight-end.

But before you get excited, just know there’s nothing to get excited about with this group. Here’s who worked out:
