Cushenberry

Cushenberry is not an elite player, but he respectably earned a 65.5 PFF pass-blocking grade during the 2025 regular season. The Bills also signed OL Austin Corbett, formerly of the Panthers. Corbett earned a 66.7 PFF run-blocking grade last year and has experience at right guard, left guard and center. The Bills signed WR Trent Sherfield, formerly of the Cardinals, as well. He is unlikely to be relevant in fantasy. All three players are on one-year contracts.

Schefter also said the Bears currently have “no ties” to Trey Hendrickson, and he believes they could pursue C Tyler Biadasz or C Lloyd Cushenberry to handle other needs. The Bears have been linked to Crosby in other reports, so this is interesting. Earlier today, Trey Wingo reported that the Cowboys are expected to pursue Hendrickson after other teams entered trade talks with the Raiders last night by reportedly putting two first-round picks on the table.

Cushenberry was one of several marquee signings by the Titans from the 2024 offseason. He landed a four-year, $50 million deal after playing out his rookie deal with the Broncos. Much like most of their other moves from that spending spree, this one failed to pay off. Cushenberry was graded as a bottom-five center by Pro Football Focus in both of his seasons in Tennessee. He should still be able to land a starting job, though his next team will be paying him far less than the Titans did.

Tuttle was the only one of the three injured players on the questionable line, and he’s inactive despite practicing in full all week. Moss and Reed are healthy scratches.

Corey Levin started for the Titans in Week 13 and looks to have the role again this week. It’ll be the second week in a row that Cushenberry is sidelined with this foot injury.

Cushenberry was ruled out due to a foot injury. His absence will force the Titans to reach into their offensive line depth against a solid Jaguars pass rush. Meanwhile, Mason Kinsey is made inactive with Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) officially active and Xavier Restrepo playing again this week.

Cushenberry’s absence is unfortunate. The Jaguars’ pass rush has played well in recent weeks. The Titans also ruled out DT Shy Tuttle (concussion), S Xavier Woods (hamstring), S Kendell Brooks (concussion) and CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (Achilles). Armour-Davis’ injury is a bit concerning. He was downgraded to a DNP on Thursday. Hopefully, it is only a short-term issue.

Cushenberry is the Titans’ starting center and popped up on the injury report with a foot issue. Also not practicing were DT Shy Tuttle (concussion), S Xavier Woods (hamstring), and S Kendell Brooks (concussion). Cushenberry is the primary concern in the middle of the Titans’ offensive line, but the Titans defense is also a bit banged up heading into Week 13 against the Jaguars.

We’ll see just how close Cushenberry is to competing this week. Titans coach Brian Callahan said: “Timeline-wise, I’ll probably refrain from giving a timeline, but it’s encouraging that, hopefully, we’ll get him on the practice field with the group this week for the return to play process.’ Cushenberry still has a chance to start the season as Tennessee’s center, but he’ll need to get healthy in a hurry.

Not great news for the Titans that their high-priced free agent center is starting training camp with some real doubt on a return date. The depth chart behind Cushenberry at center includes Corey Levin and Brenden Jaimes, either of whom would likely be a bottom-five starter in the NFL at the position if pressed into action.
