Kyzir White Parts Ways with Titans After Short Stint
Former fourth-round pick Kyzir White, selected 119th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, has officially exited the Tennessee Titans after a brief tenure. On December 2, it was announced that White and the Titans mutually agreed to part ways, a decision that comes after the linebacker played just one game for the team this season.
Injury Struggles Impact Performance
White, now 29, arrived in Tennessee following an impressive 2024 season with the Arizona Cardinals, which many would argue was the pinnacle of his career. During that standout season, he recorded 137 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and nine tackles for loss, solidifying himself as a key defensive player. However, his time with the Titans was marred by injury setbacks that ultimately led to this parting.
Tennessee’s decision to move forward without White indicates a strategic shift, as the organization seeks to optimize its roster amidst the challenges posed by injuries.
Free Agency Looms for White
As part of the separation, White will go on waivers and will become a free agent if he clears. His recent injury—specifically a hamstring issue—has likely contributed to his limited action this season. With his proven track record, White could attract interest from other teams looking to bolster their linebacker corps.
The Titans are now poised to explore new options, while White faces an uncertain future as he aims to recover and continue his professional career.
