After seeing kickers Tucker McCann and Blake Haubeil struggle on Day 2 of training camp, the Tennessee Titans are reportedly already looking at reinforcements.

According to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, the Titans are set to work out former Canadian Football League kicker, Lirim Hajrullahu.

Hajrullahu spent six seasons in the CFL, two apiece with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He posted a field goal success rate of 83.3 percent in that span, and also served as a punter.

A multi-time All-Star, Hajrullahu also posted field goal percentages of 87 and 88.1 percent in 2014 and 2016, respectively.

The Kosovo-born kicker has tried his hand in the NFL, but without success. He was cut by the Los Angeles Rams in favor of former Titans kicker Sam Sloman in 2020, and had a brief stint with the Carolina Panthers in 2021 before getting cut.

Back in May, Hajrullahu was named The Spring League’s South Division Player of the Week after going five-for-five in a game, which included a successful conversion of a 59-yard attempt.

While it’s good to see Tennessee bringing in more potential help to join their kicker competition after McCann and Haubeil struggled on Thursday, Hajrullahu still lacks the NFL experience the Titans need.

On Friday, head coach Mike Vrabel revealed the Titans have hired former University of Tennessee kicker James Wilhoit to help coach the position.
