According to NFL beat writer Paul Kuharsky, the Tennessee Titans have claimed former Indianapolis Colts starting cornerback Samuel Womack III, who was just released as part of 53-man roster cuts, off waivers:
Having similarly been claimed off waivers by the Colts from the San Francisco 49ers last offseason, Womack III ended up being a revelation for their depleted secondary after their cornerback room was simply decimated with injuries.
Having appeared in 17 games (8 starts), Womack III finished with 36 tackles (26 solo), 2 interceptions, and 9 passes defensed this past season. Per PFF, he earned a +71.4 overall grade during 2024 with Indianapolis.
Unfortunately, he just wasn’t as much of a natural fit in new Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo’s coverage scheme and was also limited by a hamstring injury to end the team’s training camp.
On Tuesday, he was released along with former 2023 2nd round pick JuJu Brents at cornerback.
It marks the second time in as many years that the Colts’ AFC South rivals have claimed a corner off waivers, as last year, the Titans also snagged released Indy corner, Darrell ‘D.J.’ Baker off waivers as part of final 53-man cuts. Baker signed a one-year contract extension with Tennessee earlier this offseason.
