The Tennessee Titans were busy ahead of their first padded practice, signing defensive tackle Khalen Saunders Sr. along with two additional players in a flurry of roster activity designed to add depth heading into a critical phase of training camp.
Saunders Sr. is the headlining addition of the group, bringing interior defensive line experience to a Tennessee squad still taking shape. The signings reflect the Titans' efforts to build competition and insurance at multiple positions as full-contact work begins.
Roster moves made during the padded practice portion of training camp carry added significance, as this is the period when teams begin to get a clearer picture of who can hold up physically and who fits the scheme at game speed. Adding bodies at this stage gives Tennessee more options heading toward final cuts.
The Titans have been navigating a transitional period as a franchise, and moves like these — targeting available veterans and prospects to fill out the depth chart — are part of the deliberate process of building a competitive 53-man roster before the regular season kicks off.
