Titans | Tajae Sharpe off PUP

Tennessee Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (foot) passed his physical Monday, Aug. 21, and was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list. DE Mehdi Abdesmad was waived.

Footballguys View: It wasn’t that long ago (last year to be precise) that Sharpe was an intriguing rookie for the Titans. This year things are much different. Sharpe is buried on the depth chart, he’s been banged up with this foot injury and his spot on the 53-man roster is no guarantee.

Dolphins | Jay Cutler shining Monday

Miami Dolphins QB Jay Cutler made numerous plays in practice Monday, Aug. 21. Beat writer Omar Kelly opined that Cutler provided clear upgrades from QB Ryan Tannehill in arm strength and pocket presence.

Footballguys View: The argument could be made that Cutler will be better for the Dolphins skill position players because of his willingness to challenge a defense. We’re not upgrading the players astronomically, but it just makes sense that Cutler is a little more willing to take chances and that could pay off with a few more big plays from this offense that sometimes looked stale with Tannehill calling the shots.
