Titans Claim Ali Gaye and Julius Wood

The Tennessee Titans have claimed two players off waivers: defensive end Ali Gaye from the Houston Texans and defensive back Julius Wood from the Dallas Cowboys. Gaye, who went undrafted in 2023, spent last season on the Texans' practice squad and is expected to add depth to the Titans' defensive line. Wood, also undrafted, had a strong preseason with the Cowboys, making nine tackles and two interceptions, and will join a crowded safety group. The Titans must release two players to accommodate Gaye and Wood on their 53-man roster. Both players bring potential versatility to the team, with Gaye possibly serving as a hybrid edge rusher and defensive lineman, while Wood may fit into various roles in the secondary. The Titans are preparing for their season opener against the Chicago Bears on September 8.
