Titans add QB Chris Redman, release three

Redman was a third-round pick by Baltimore in 2001 and spent three seasons with the Ravens. He went 3-3 in six career starts but was out of football last year. New England signed him in January but released him in June.

Coach Jeff Fisher said they had worked out Redman and liked what he did.

“We are going to give Chris an opportunity here the next couple weeks to let him compete for that third spot,” Fisher said. “There is a chance that Chris could even get in this ballgame for Friday night.”

Redman faces better odds with the Titans who originally had four undrafted free agent quarterbacks on the roster with only Shane Boyd of Kentucky still left. Fisher said Redman understands the offense and has experience.

But this may not be the last move in their search for a third quarterback.

“There may be some other guys out there. We just felt timing-wise this was good. He is healthy and certainly willing right now,” Fisher said.

The Titans also released rookie receiver Chris Bush and running back Walter Reyes, who had not been drafted coming out of Syracuse.

Fullback Troy Fleming returned to practice for the first time in more than a week after spraining a knee. Safety Justin Sandy, who broke an ankle in his only game last season, was removed from the physically unable to perform list and practiced for the first time in training camp.

Left tackle Brad Hopkins also twisted his right knee at the end of practice when he was caught up at the line. He was able to walk off the field on his own with a team doctor.
