Overview

  • Tennessee signed 33-year-old Trevor Siemian to compete with Brandon Allen for the backup quarterback role behind No. 1 pick Cam Ward.
  • Tim Boyle was waived after completing 4-of-13 passes for 24 yards and throwing two interceptions—including a pick-six—in the preseason opener.
  • Rookie Cam Ward is set to start the season after Will Levis underwent season-ending shoulder surgery during training camp.
  • Center Lloyd Cushenberry has been activated from the active/PUP list and is expected to return to the starting lineup.
  • Siemian’s prior stints on the Titans’ practice squad make him a cost-effective depth option as the team heads into its final preseason evaluations.
