The Tennessee Titans had to trim the roster to 85 players today, as a part of the NFL’s new roster rules. Today, August 17th, teams go from 90 to 85. Next week, August 24th, teams will trim from 85 to 80. Final cuts to get to 53 will take place on August 31st.
To get to 85 players today, the Titans waived offensive lineman Paul Adams. The team also place newly signed safety Tedric Thompson on injured reserve, along with defensive lineman Trevon Coley.
Coley is the most noteworthy here after a strong showing on Friday night in Atlanta.
