The Tennessee Titans made very clear this week they have no time to wait for their defense to improve. The unit is the NFL’s worst on third down, which has contributed to a two-game skid after Tennessee started the season 5-0.
The Titans traded for cornerback Desmond King on Monday, waived veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph on Tuesday and released outside linebacker Vic Beasley Jr. Wednesday. Some bad snaps also cost long snapper Beau Brinkley his job. General manager Jon Robinson says the team made the moves to help win games, not send messages. The Titans host the Chicago Bears Sunday at Nissan Stadium.
