The Tennessee Titans made a string of roster moves early this week, including signing linebacker Dylan Cole and defensive lineman Kyle Peko.

Cole, who was originally on the Titan’s practice squad, forced a fumble on a kickoff in the team’s win over the Saints this past Sunday (Nov. 14). The 6-foot, 237-pounder appeared in 37 regular season games with one start and recorded 67 tackles, one sack, two interceptions, one touchdown, five tackles for loss and one fumble recovery in four years with Houston (’17-’20). Cole originally entered the NFL after signing with Houston as an undrafted college free agent in 2017.

Peko was also on the practice squad but was elevated to active for last Sunday’s game. He recorded two tackles after being a game day elevation. Peko also spent training camp with the team. Formerly with the Broncos and Bills, he has played in 14 games during his career. He opted out of the 2020 season during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Along with the two signings, the Titans have activated outside linebacker Derick Roberson from Injured Reserve. Roberson is in his third NFL season and will help add defensive depth heading into the upcoming game against the Texans. Roberson played in the season opener against Cardinals, but hasn’t played since. He was placed on IR before the team’s Oct. 3 game against the Jets.

Tennessee also signed offensive lineman Bobby Hart and defensive lineman Amani Bledsoe to the team’s practice squad. Both players were waived from the active roster on Tuesday (Nov. 16). Receiver Cody Hollister was also signed to the practice squad. The Titans moved tight end Tommy Hudson to the team’s “Designated for Return from Injured Reserve” list.
