NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee Titans have chosen to keep rookie Rusty Smith over veteran Chris Simms as the third quarterback behind Vince Young and Kerry Collins.
They also released safety Myron Rolle, a Rhodes scholar who took a year off from football to study at Oxford.
The Titans confirmed Saturday that they had released 20 players and placed veteran linebacker David Thornton on the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform list as he continues to recover from hip surgery. Linebacker Gerald McRath also goes on the reserve/suspended list for the first four games.
They kept undrafted rookie running back LeGarrette Blount, while releasing veteran Samkon Gado. Defensive end Raheem Brock also was cut.
The Tennessean and TitanInsider.com first reported the cuts.
