The Tennessee Titans made another roster move ahead of their Week 6 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Previously, the Titans announced they opened the window for Cedric Gray to return to the field from injured reserve. Today, the Titans waived offensive lineman John Ojukwu.

Ojukwu joined the Titans in 2023 as an undrafted free agent and spent most of that season on the practice squad. He was inactive for the first three games of 2024 and played just five snaps against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4.
Losing Ojukwu leaves Nicholas Petit-Frere without a backup. Considering how he has struggled this season, that could pose a problem. Ojukwu may not have been the answer, but coach Brian Callahan and general manager Ran Carthon need to nail down an offensive line that’s allowed 15 sacks this season.
With Gray’s designation to return, the Titans gain some defensive depth, which they will need if their offense doesn’t improve. That offense will have a hard time improving if Will Levis isn’t protected, so Callahan and Carthon need to figure out the offensive line sooner rather than later.
