The Tennessee Titans made notable changes to their roster, waiving defensive end Kyron Johnson and wide receiver Tay Martin, both with injury designations. Johnson had been signed to the practice squad mid-season after being let go by the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Martin had a brief game appearance this season, scoring a touchdown on his only reception. Meanwhile, the Titans have bolstered their defense by re-signing tackle James Lynch to a one-year contract, showcasing their commitment to strengthening their core players as they head into the offseason.

Mike Borgonzi, the new general manager of the Tennessee Titans, is making significant changes in his first offseason, including drafting Cam Ward as the team's new quarterback. In a move to revamp the roster, the Titans have waived linebacker Kyron Johnson and wide receiver Tay Martin due to injuries. Johnson, who was on the practice squad last season, never played in a game, while Martin had a brief highlight with a 49-yard touchdown reception in his sole appearance.

With the addition of linebacker Cody Barton and a number of wide receivers through free agency, both Johnson and Martin became expendable. Borgonzi's approach signifies a shift from the previous management eras, aiming for a more competitive Titans team in the upcoming season. These roster decisions may pave the way for a stronger performance next year.

C.J. Stroud showcased an impressive performance by completing all six of his passes for 50 yards and a touchdown during the Texans’ opening drive, leading Houston to a crucial 23-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans. This win helped the Texans (10-7) snap a two-game losing streak and avoid being swept by their opponents. Houston's victory also marks their first win since clinching the AFC South title, placing them in a favorable position for the upcoming playoffs.

On the other hand, the Titans' loss deepens their struggles, finishing the season with a dismal 3-14 record, which guarantees them the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. The game included notable performances, such as Dameon Pierce's career-high 176 rushing yards and a touchdown, while the Titans rotated quarterbacks Will Levis and Mason Rudolph throughout the match.
