NASHVILLE – The Titans have trimmed their roster to 53 players before today's NFL deadline.
Among the moves: QB Logan Woodside, running back Jeremy McNichols and offensive lineman Corey Levin have all been waived.
Also, the team has traded receiver Taywan Taylor to the Cleveland Browns for a 2020 draft pick.
Meanwhile, receiver Kalif Raymond, defensive lineman Isaiah Mack, running back Dalyn Dawkins and offensive linemen David Quessenberry and Jamil Douglas are among those who've made the team's initial 53-man roster.
More roster shuffling could take place in the coming days, however, as players from other teams could be claimed on Sunday.
Raymond led the Titans in the preseason with 13 catches for 204 yards, while Dawkins ended the preseason in style with a 117-yard, two touchdown game against the Bears. Mack, who played collegiately at Chattanooga, was consistently disruptive in training camp after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent.
As part of the team's roster transactions, the Titans placed defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons on the Reserve/NFI list to start the season. As part of the designation, Simmons won't be able to practice the first six weeks of the season.
Also, tackle Taylor Lewan has officially been moved to the team's suspended list.
Taywan Taylor, a third-round draft pick in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Western Kentucky, had some key moments with the Titans, electrifying fans with his speed and big-play ability.
But he also dealt with some inconsistencies during his time in Tennessee, at a time when the Titans enter the season with front-line starters and solid depth at the position.
Corey Davis, Adam Humphries, Tajae Sharpe and A.J. Brown are in line to log significant playing time for the Titans in 2019. Receiver Darius Jennings, a kickoff return specialist for the Titans, and Raymond give the team six players at the position.
