The Tennessee Titans announced Wednesday they have released center Lloyd Cushenberry and safety Xavier Woods.

Cushenberry started 15 games for the team in his second season in Tennessee, while Woods made 11 appearances (10 starts) in his first year with the club.

Cushenberry, 28, joined the Titans in 2024 after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Denver Broncos. He has made 80 appearances in the league -- starting each game -- and played 99% of the Titans' offensive snaps when available in 2025.

Woods, 30, recorded two interceptions and a sack to go with 39 tackles for the Titans. He had stints with the Dallas Cowboys (2017-20), Minnesota Vikings (2021) and Carolina Panthers (2022-24) as a starting safety before inking a two-year contract with Tennessee last offseason.
