The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with safeties Tedric Thompson and Reggie Floyd ahead of their first preseason game against Atlanta tonight (Aug. 13). Along with these signings, the Titans have waived receiver and Vanderbilt standout Kalija Lipscomb and offensive lineman Adam Coon.

Thompson was a fourth-round pick by Seattle back in the 2017 NFL Draft and has spent time with the Seahawks, Chiefs, Browns, and Broncos. He’s played in 37 career games with 16 starts, and has recorded 91 tackles, three interceptions, and five passes defended. Thompson played in eight games with the Chiefs in 2020, picking up 13 tackles. He spent the final part of last season with the Browns after being released by Kansas City.

Floyd was signed undrafted by the Cardinals from Virginia Tech following the 2020 NFL Draft, but was later released. Floyd played in 51 career games at Virginia Tech, making 36 starts. He racked up 230 career tackles, including 14 for yard loss. He also picked off five passes and forced two fumbles.

Tonight’s first preseason game against Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium won’t feature starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill, according to the Titans. Back-up QB Logan Woodside will start the game with newly signed Matt Barkley most likely taking over in the second half. Additionally, Derrick Henry nor 2021 first-round Draft pick Caleb Farley will play tonight, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
