The Commanders announced a pair of roster moves on Sunday afternoon.
They have signed center Trey Hill to the active roster. Cornerback Tre Hawkins was waived in a corresponding move.
Hill was a Bengals sixth-round pick in 2021 and he remained with the team through the 2024 season. He spent time with the Packers and Bears last season, but did not appear in any games. He was also on the Titans’ roster for most of the offseason.
Hill appeared in 25 games for the Bengals and made three starts.
Hawkins played in one game for Washington last season and 20 games for the Giants over his first two NFL seasons.
Titans Clips
The Titans have agreed to terms with defensive back Derrick Canteen, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.
Earlier Sunday, the Titans announced the signing of cornerback Mario Goodrich, cutting defensive back Jeadyn Lukus in a corresponding move.
Canteen, 25, reunites with Robert Saleh on the Titans. The two were together in San Francisco last season.
The 49ers cut Canteen last week.
He played collegiately at Georgia Southern from 2019-22, Virginia Tech in 2023 and Cincinnati in 2025. Canteen signed with the 49ers after going undrafted last year.
He made the roster out of training camp but was cut a week later and re-signed to the practice squad.
Canteen, who did not see any regular-season action in 2025, signed a futures contract with the 49ers after the season.
The Titans shuffled up their secondary this weekend.
They announced the signing of cornerback Mario Goodrich to their active roster. Defensive back Jeadyn Lukus was waived to make room for Goodrich.
Goodrich spent the spring playing for Birmingham in the UFL and finished the season with 13 tackles and a 40-yard interception return for a touchdown. He also played for Birmingham in 2025 and appeared in four games for the Eagles during the 2023 season. He had five tackles during his time in Philly.
Lukas played at Clemson for the last four years and was undrafted in April.
The Titans do not practice on Sunday, so Goodrich will join them on the field for Monday’s practice.
Titans quarterback Will Levis is competing with Mitch Trubisky to be the backup to Cam Ward. But Levis thinks he should be a starter, somewhere.
“There are not 32 quarterbacks in this league better than me,” Levis said. “I know that for sure.”
Levis, the 2023 second-round pick who started 21 games in his first two seasons with the Titans but did not play at all last year, said he can take pride in what he’s already done and thinks he’ll get better.
“I have more confidence than I’ve ever had,” Levis said. “I know from the tape I’ve put on already that I’m a dang good quarterback in this league, even better than I ever have been.”
Levis said he is a more mature player now and less concerned about criticism or public perceptions of him.
“This is really Year Four, I’m a true vet at this point,” Levis said. “I’ve definitely grown a lot. I feel like I was a kid when I got here, now I’m a man.”
The Giants announced a couple of roster moves on Thursday afternoon.
They have signed linebacker Anfernee Orji to their 90-man roster. Defensive lineman Ben Barten has been waived in a corresponding move.
Orji signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and spent two seasons with the team. He moved on to the Titans last year, but missed the whole season after tearing his ACL in the preseason.
Orji had 30 tackles in 16 games for the Saints. He saw most of his playing time on special teams in New Orleans, but did make a pair of starts on defense.
Barten signed with the Giants after going undrafted out of Wisconsin this year.
The Titans will be getting right tackle JC Latham going at training camp over the next few days.
Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters at a Thursday press conference that Latham is being activated from the physically unable to perform list. The plan is for him to spend the next couple of days ramping back up with the intent for him to be fully integrated into the practice mix on Saturday.
The Titans previously activated safety Amani Hooker and do not have any other players on the PUP list.
Safety Hudson Clark will also be joining the Titans at practice. The team announced his signing and that Sanoussi Kane has been waived with an injury designation. Clark spent time with the Raiders last summer and played in the UFL this spring.
The Rams signed veteran offensive lineman Blake Hance on Wednesday, the team announced.
Hance, 30, spent last season with the Titans, playing four games and starting one. He saw action on 89 offensive snaps and 17 on special teams.
He has also appeared in games with the Browns (2021) and Jaguars (2022-24).
Hance has appeared in 63 games with 11 starts over his five-year NFL career. He has played 976 offensive snaps and 251 special teams snaps.
Hance also had stints with the Bills (2019), Commanders (2019), Jets (2020) and 49ers (2022). He originally signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent following the 2019 draft out of Northwestern.
Hall of Fame defensive end and multi-platform TV personality Michael Strahan took some criticism last month for not mentioning the connection between ALS and football in his interview with former NFL running back Chris Johnson, who disclosed that he has the disease.
Appearing on Tuesday’s edition of The Dan Patrick Show, Patrick asked Strahan if, in retrospect, Strahan believes he should have asked that question.
“Well, I had that — I actually thought about that, because I saw what every[one said], ‘Well you should have asked this, you should have asked that.’ Well, you should have got the interview. How about that?” Strahan said. “That’s one thing.”
That’s one sort of petty thing. The “get” doesn’t become a license to not get to the right questions. It also invites the question, generally speaking, as to whether an “exclusive” interview was less of a “get” and more of a “give” to someone who won’t ask the most probing and necessary questions.
“Two,” Strahan told Patrick, “two, that was Chris’s moment for Chris to share the story which Chris wanted to share. And when I got the call that Chris wanted to share that he has, you know, ALS, that was the story. It wasn’t for me to try to grandstand, which — I hate when people do this, Dan. As an interviewer, our job is [to] deliver information. I’m not trying to get a bigger name for myself by putting somebody else in an uncomfortable position. I was there as a service to Chris, for what Chris wanted people to understand and know about his life and where he was now. I was not there to make a story about myself or to get a big headline — that’s what it wasn’t about. The headlines were about Chris is where they needed to be.
“I did ask Chris about football, how the NFL has been supportive and all those things. He has twin boys who play football right now. So there are so many things that people don’t know but a few were critical of, but overall I’m very proud of what we did there at ABC in bringing that story. And I’m very proud and very happy that Chris trusted us to tell it. Because that was Chris’s story to tell. The headline’s about Chris Johnson, not about Michael Strahan. I don’t make any of these things about myself. And that was the disappointing thing for a few people who were critical of that. But if you don’t have critics that means you’re not doing a good job, too.”
Many would say that’s not how an interview should work, even on a feel-good network morning show. Certain topics are unavoidable. It’s not “grandstanding” to ask an obvious question and to trust that the subject of the interview will be able to handle it.
“Do you believe your ALS is a result of playing football?” If yes, “Would you have still played football if you knew then what you know now?” (The fact that Johnson’s sons play football makes those questions even more appropriate.)
And it’s obvious that there’s a connection between ALS and football, starting with the fact that ALS is a no-questions-asked condition that triggers payment under the NFL’s concussion settlement fund and continuing with the studies that show an increased risk of ALS for those who played in the NFL.
Here’s the other point that Strahan didn’t address. After the interview, when Strahan and his colleagues discussed the situation in the studio, the obvious connection could have, and arguably should have, been mentioned. Indeed, Strahan’s narration of the interview included the conclusion that Johnson’s diagnosis was attributed not to a family history of ALS but to the 90 percent of ALS cases that are regarded as “sporadic” with no known cause.
As noted by Brendon Kleen of Awful Announcing, the separate online story from ABC also failed to address the clear link between ALS and football.
And so, even if Strahan is disappointed by the criticism, the criticism is fair. Even if he didn’t feel comfortable in asking Johnson about the connection between ALS and football (Strahan didn’t mention to Patrick whether Johnson asked before the interview to avoid that topic), ABC could have — and absolutely should have — addressed it.
Failing to do so invites questions as to whether ABC tiptoed around the established link between ALS and football as a favor to the NFL, which now owns 10 percent of ABC’s sister company, ESPN, especially since Strahan’s defense to the criticism included a comment that he asked Johnson “how the NFL has been supportive” of him.
The sixth overall pick in the 2017 draft will be joining his sixth team.
Jordan Schultz reported that Jamal Adams will be signing with the Vikings. Adams has since confirmed it, tweeting, “Year 10 #skol.”
Adams spent three years with the Jets, making it to two Pro Bowls and finishing 2018 as a second-team All-Pro and 2019 as a first-team All-Pro.
He was traded to the Seahawks in 2020, qualifying for a third Pro Bowl and finishing on the All-Pro second team. The next year, he signed a four-year, $70 million extension that made him the highest-paid safety in NFL history.
He stayed with the Seahawks through 2023. In 2024, he played for the Titans and Lions. After switching last year from safety to linebacker, Adams appeared in 17 games with four starts for the Raiders.
Adams has earned more than $71 million in his nine-year career.
It’s unclear whether he’ll be playing safety or linebacker in the Brian Flores defense. Given the flexibility and creativity of the scheme, he could play both.
Cornerback Nazeeh Johnson is officially a member of the Titans.
Johnson agreed to terms with the AFC South team late last week and the Titans officially announced the signing on Monday. Cornerback Latrell McCutchin was waived to open a spot for Johnson on the 90-man roster in Nashville.
Johnson played in 29 regular season games and six playoff contests for the Chiefs over the last four years. He had 74 tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack, and four passes defensed while playing for Kansas City.
McCutchin signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent. He spent the last four seasons at Marshall.
