NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans released starting center Lloyd Cushenberry on Wednesday with a failed physical designation.

It was one of two moves the Titans announced. They also released veteran safety Xavier Woods.

Cushenberry, 28, had two seasons left on a four-year, $50 million contract that he signed after spending four years at Denver. He started 23 times over two seasons, but an Achilles tendon injury limited to eight games in 2024.

Woods, 30, spent just one season at Tennessee, playing in 11 games and starting 10. He missed six games because of a hamstring injury. He had two interceptions and 39 tackles, a year after totaling a career-high 119 tackles at Carolina.
