Tennessee Titans waive linebacker Dominique Hampton with an injury settlement
Summary

The Tennessee Titans released linebacker Dominique Hampton on Thursday following an injury settlement. Hampton previously cleared waivers after being designated as waived/injured by the team on Aug. 25, which caused him to revert to the Reserve/Injured list. As part of the settlement, he is now an unrestricted free agent and will be eligible to sign with another NFL team once the agreed-upon number of weeks has passed. The Titans initially added the former Washington Huskies defender to their roster on Aug. 6. He entered the league as a fifth-round selection by the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL Draft and appeared in one game during his rookie season. Tennessee will move forward with Owen Pappoe, James Williams Sr., Cody Barton, and Cedric Gray as its primary options at the linebacker position for the 2026 season.
