Tennessee also signed DB Nate Brooks to the practice squad.
The Titans have a 21-day window for Dupree to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster.
Dupree, 28, is a former first-round pick out of Kentucky by the Steelers in the 2015 NFL Draft. He was in the final year of a four-year, $9.22 million rookie contract when the Steelers picked up his fifth-year option that paid him $9,232,000 for the 2019 season.
From there, the Steelers opted to franchise Dupree last year and he later signed a five-year deal worth up to $85 million with the Titans this offseason.
In 2021, Dupree has appeared in seven games for the Titans, recording seven tackles, one forced fumble, and one sack.
