Restrepo’s Comeback with Titans | NFL News

0:00On September 2nd, the Tennessee Titans made some moves after setting their initial 53-man roster. They brought in three players from waiver claims, Owen Papo, Melvin Smith and the Zier Stackhouse. On top of that, they added offensive tackle, James Hudson III and Safety to rail Burgess to the active roster, showing they're still tweaking the lineup. Now, the waiver wire process is pretty interesting. If a player isn't picked up by another team within 24 hours, they can become a free agent or head to the practice squad. This is exactly what happened with why receivers Avia Restrepo, who was initially on the 53-man roster, but then waived. After clearing waivers, Restrepo was signed to the Titans practice squad. This is a comeback story for him, considering his college career where he balled out with Cam Ward, leading the ACC with over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns in his senior year. However, things got complicated when he ran a slower than expected 40 yard dash at his pro day, reportedly due to hamstring issues.

1:03This led to him going undrafted in 2025. He landed on the Titans practice squad last year and even saw some action in a couple of games. Despite the team bringing in new receivers this off season, Restrepo put in the work, improving his 40 yard dash time significantly. He proved his worth in a recent game, leading the team in receptions and yards. It's a tough road, but he's back with the Titans, ready to contribute.
