Tennessee Titans sign James Hudson and waive Austin Deculus

The Tennessee Titans signed veteran offensive tackle James Hudson III on August 31, 2026, to bolster their offensive line depth. The move resulted in the release of Austin Deculus, who had initially been included on the team's 53-man roster. Hudson, a 6-foot-5, 313-pound lineman, joins the team with experience from 60 career games and 19 starts with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. He previously spent training camp with the New England Patriots before his release. The Titans sought to address concerns regarding the depth behind starters JC Latham and Dan Moore. The new roster addition is expected to join the team for practice at the Vanderbilt Health Football Center on Tuesday.
