  "account": "The Tennessee Titans have unveiled their first practice squad for the 2027 season, consisting of 16 players. Currently allowed to expand to 17, the Titans are likely holding the final spot for Xavier Restrepo, who was recently released. He will officially join the squad once he clears waivers tomorrow. The team has focused on bolstering their receiver position, which currently features five players on the active roster. The Titans can elevate two players from the practice squad to the active roster each week, and one of these players would likely be a receiver. Notably, the team did not sign Bryce Oliver to the practice squad, despite previous praise for his special teams performance.",
