The Tennessee Titans have been banged up beyond belief at the linebacker position this season, but they have now added some reinforcements, according to team reporter Jim Wyatt.
“The Titans signed linebacker Raekwon McMillan to the team’s practice squad,” Wyatt tweeted. “McMillan played in college at Ohio State and played for the Miami Dolphins, [Las Vegas] The looters and [New England] Patriots in the NFL, with 70 career games played over eight seasons. ยป
McMillan was drafted in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Ohio State Dolphins and spent three seasons with the team before being traded to the Raiders before the 2020 season.
When he became a free agent, he signed with the Patriots, where he spent the last four seasons. McMillan was cut by the Pats last month, but now he has another chance to return to the league with the Titans, who are in need of linebackers.
The team was decimated at the position, losing Chance Campbell, Jack Gibbens and Garret Wallow to injuries. Otis Reese IV and Kenneth Murray Jr. were also injured in the team’s last game against the Indianapolis Colts, leaving a need for depth.
The Titans don’t need to add McMillan to the 53-man roster, as they can elevate him from the practice squad for the final two games if they choose to do so.
