After a flurry of roster moves as waiver claims were announced, the Tennessee Titans made a fifth move to address their offensive line depth.
The Titans entered the season with some questionable depth behind JC Latham and Dan Moore. Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson improved through camp and grabbed the swing tackle role, but Austin Deculus struggled and was a surprise addition to the 53-man roster. But that changed on Monday afternoon when Tennessee signed veteran offensive tackle Hudson III and waived Deculus in a corresponding move.

Hudson entered the league as a fourth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2021 NFL Draft after college stops at Cincinnati and Michigan. The 6-foot-5, 313-pound lineman
has seen action in 60 career games, making 19 starts with the Browns and New York Giants, and brings a veteran presence to the room to compete with Crenshaw-Dickson as the team's swing tackle. Hudson had spent training camp with the New England Patriots before being released.
The Titans should welcome the five new faces to the organization when they return to the practice field on Tuesday at Vanderbilt Health Football Center.
