Tennessee Titans claim linebacker Owen Pappoe off waivers from Arizona Cardinals

The Tennessee Titans claimed linebacker Owen Pappoe off waivers on August 31, 2026. Pappoe, a fifth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, had spent three seasons with the Arizona Cardinals as a reserve and special teams player. His departure followed the team's decision to name Karson Sharar to the 53-man roster for the fourth linebacker position. While Arizona reportedly hoped to retain Pappoe for their practice squad, the waiver claim process prevented his return. The Cardinals were third in waiver priority behind the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets but did not add any players through the wire during the current round of cuts. Throughout his tenure in Arizona, Pappoe recorded 66 tackles, five pass deflections, and one forced fumble across 49 games.
