Titans Make Five Practice Squad Moves

Aaron Wilson reports the Tennessee Titans are signing DT Eli Ankou to their practice squad.

The Titans have already confirmed the news announced that they’ve signed RB Mekhi Sargent to the unit and released DL Abdullah Anderson, LB Dylan Cole and C James Murray.  

Here’s the Titans updated practice squad:

1. QB Matt Barkley
2. DB Briean Boddy-Calhoun
3. LB Jamal Carter
4. TE Tory Carter
5. WR Dez Fitzpatrick
6. WR Mason Kinsey
7. G Jordan Roos
8. DB Chris Jones
9. TE Austin Fort
10. OT Christian DiLauro
11. DT Caraun Reid
12. OT Derwin Gray
13. DT Kyle Peko
14. DT Eli Ankou
15. RB Mekhi Sargent

Ankou, 27, originally signed on with the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA back in 2017. He spent just over four months in Houston before he was waived at the start of the regular season and later claimed by the Jaguars.

Jacksonville cut Ankou coming out of the preseason in 2019 and later re-signed him to their practice squad. He was later waived by the Browns before being claimed by the Colts. 

From there, Ankou had brief stints with the Texans, Cowboys, Falcons, Bills and Falcons before signing on with the Steelers a few months ago. He spent a brief time on Pittsburgh’s practice squad but was released earlier this month. 

In 2020, Ankou appeared in seven games for the Cowboys and recorded five tackles and no tackles for loss or sacks.
