The Tennessee Titans are trying out two kickers, on the Saturday list of NFL teams who hosted players for visits and workouts.
The kickers are Sergio Castillo and Lirim Hajrullahu — both of which spent have spent time in the Canadian Football League.
The move comes shortly after Titans coaches watched poor performances out of Tucker McCann and Blake Haubeil on Day 2 of training camp.
Hajrullahu played six seasons in the CFL — two each with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He made 83.3% of his field goal attempts over that time frame, doubling as a punter as well.
Castillo’s professional career began in 2014 when he joined the Atlanta Falcons, bouncing between the Blue Bombers, Ottawa Redblacks, Tiger-Cats, San Antonio Commanders, BC Lions, Houston Roughnecks and New York Jets.
Through 2020, Castillo’s NFL stats had him with a 61.5% success rate of his field goal tries (eight of 13) with a long of 55 yards.
We’ve seen the Titans go through a decent amount of placekickers in the past, with their fair share of ups and downs at the position, so who takes the field for them at the start of the regular season will be something to keep an eye on.
