The Tennessee Titans made a couple of notable roster moves on Sunday, including the release of a former Ohio State Buckeyes star.

John Simon, who starred on the defensive line for the Buckeyes, has been released by the Titans, according to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.

The 30-year-old defensive lineman was picked up by the Titans earlier this offseason. He’s played for five different NFL franchises, including Baltimore, Houston, Indianapolis and New England.

Simon will now have to find a new NFL home moving forward.

The #Titans made a bunch of moves, including releasing veteran OLB/DE John Simon and DB Clayton Geathers, waiving LB Cassh Maluia, placing RB Brian Hill on IR and placing C Ben Jones on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
