Tay Martin, Kyron Johnson Waived By Titans

Thursday, May 8, 1:29 PM

After re-signing defensive lineman James Lynch on Wednesday, the Tennessee Titans waived wide receiver Tay Martin (undisclosed) and linebacker Kyron Johnson (undisclosed) with undisclosed injury designations. The 27-year-old Martin, a former undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State, spent most of his time on the team's practice squad in 2024 and caught his first career pass on two targets for a 49-yard touchdown in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Houston Texans. Johnson, 26, was originally a sixth-round selection (181st overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022 out of Kansas. He did not play in a game last year with Tennessee and had just eight tackles (six solo) in 22 games (no starts) in his two seasons with the Eagles.

Jared Wayne News

Jared Wayne Earning Time with the Texans' Starters

Friday, August 21, 9:12 AM

Houston Texans side receiver Jared Wayne could be part of the team's plan to fill in for some of the production lost when Jayden Higgins (knee) went down for the season earlier this week. Wayne has had a very strong training camp and caught the team's only touchdown in the first preseason game. On Thursday, in the second preseason game, Wayne played in the first series of the game with starting QB C.J. Stroud, and he picked up a key 12-yard reception that converted a third down and kept the drive alive. Wayne finished with just two catches for 13 yards, but his involvement with the starters could indicate the team has bigger plans for him once the season starts. At the very least, he looks in line to make his first NFL roster after spending last year on the practice squad. He could open the season as the team's WR2 across from Nico Collins, at least until Tank Dell (knee) is ready for action.
