The Tennessee Titans released veteran safety Jamal Adams on Thursday after signing him to a free agent contract in July.

The Titans placed Adams on the non-football injury reserve list on Saturday. When asked about the move, coach Brian Callahan said he preferred not to comment.

"At this point, we wish Jamal the best going forward. It just didn't work out here," Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson said. "He'll have great success wherever it goes. (It didn't work out) for numerous factors, but in terms of that I'll let the head coach take care of that."

Adams and the Titans had agreed on a 1-year, $1.125 million contract.

Adams missed most of training camp with a hip injury and played sparingly in the regular season upon his return, making four tackles in three games as a backup to safeties Quandre Diggs and Amani Hooker.

Adams is a three-time Pro Bowler and three-time All Pro selection but hasn't played more than 10 games in a season since 2021.
