The Titans refined their defensive strategy this offseason by claiming linebacker Curtis Jacobs from waivers. Jacobs, who began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent with Kansas City, gained valuable experience during his rookie season with the Patriots. In nine games, including two starts, he logged four tackles while contributing on special teams and defense.

Jacobs played 136 snaps on special teams and saw 23 defensive snaps during his rookie campaign. His performance demonstrated potential that aligns with the Titans’ focus on strengthening their linebacker unit. The acquisition provides an opportunity for Jacobs to grow into a role where his versatility and ability to contribute in multiple phases of the game can be fully utilized.
Reshaping the Linebacker Corps
The move comes as part of a broader overhaul within the Titans’ defensive unit. Recent departures and transactions have reshaped the linebacker group, leading to significant roster changes. With former players moving to other teams and key personnel being traded, the Titans are assembling a squad built for renewed impact. Jacobs now joins this evolving lineup, expected to add depth and newfound energy to the defense.
