Titans Bolster Offensive Line with Waiver Pickup from Packers
In response to a rough start to the 2025 season and a particularly demoralizing shutout loss to the Houston Texans, the Tennessee Titans are turning to the waiver wire in hopes of reinforcing their struggling offensive line. Their latest move brings in former Green Bay Packers lineman Brant Banks.
Banks was recently elevated from Green Bay’s practice squad to the active roster before being claimed by the Titans as they look to regroup at the season’s quarter mark. A former standout at Nebraska, Banks showcased his versatility in college, playing both left guard and right tackle over four seasons. With over 1,600 collegiate snaps under his belt, he carved a path from depth player at Nebraska to earning a spot in the NFL.
Titans insider Buck Reising of AtoZ Sports Nashville confirmed the roster move on X (formerly Twitter).
The addition comes at a time when Tennessee’s offensive line has been under intense scrutiny. Ranked 25th by Pro Football Network, the unit has allowed rookie quarterback Cam Ward to be pressured on nearly half (48.2%) of his true dropbacks—a stat that ranks 30th in the league. While the run game has seen more success, the Titans’ commitment to developing a pass-first offense around Ward demands better pass protection.
As the Titans prepare for a Week 5 road game against the 2-2 Arizona Cardinals, Banks’ arrival gives the team an added option up front—especially following what was arguably Ward’s worst outing of the season.
Whether Banks becomes a key contributor or not remains to be seen. But for the winless Titans sitting at 0-4, any sign of help—or hope—is welcome at this point in the season.
