The Tennessee Titans signed veteran outside linebacker Jihad Ward on Thursday.

Ward, 31, played in all 17 games (two starts) for the Minnesota Vikings last season.


He has 19 sacks, 168 tackles and five fumble recoveries in 119 career games (37 starts) with six NFL teams.

The then-Oakland Raiders picked Ward in the second round (44th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Titans waived defensive lineman Keondre Coburn, 25, to make room on the training camp roster.
