NASHVILLE – The newest member of the Tennessee Titans is also the newest candidate to become the team's starting right tackle.
The Titans signed offensive tackle Isaiah Prince to the team's practice squad on Tuesday afternoon. Prince, 27, has been in the NFL since 2019 when he was selected in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins.
Prince has played in 21 games for three different teams throughout his NFL career (MIA, CIN, ATL) and made a total of six starts.
Prince played 334 snaps at right tackle for the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals with Brian Callahan as his offensive coordinator. He was a starter for Cincinnati in the final five games of the regular season and throughout the ensuing postseason run that ended in Super Bowl LVI. Prince played all 61 offensive snaps for the Bengals in that Super Bowl.
After missing the entire 2022 season with an elbow injury and playing in only two games as a special teamer for the 2023 Falcons, Prince is a surprise candidate to end up as a starter on an NFL roster in 2024. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and the Tennessee Titans are desperate for a right tackle at the moment.
Nicholas Petit-Frere has been one of the worst tackles in the NFL when on the field. But no matter what the Titans do to get NPF on the bench, it always ends up with him back in the huddle on game days. Jaelyn Duncan got hurt. Leroy Watson was uninspiring. Head coach Brian Callahan even said the team would consider giving former undrafted free agent John Ojukwu a shot to play.
Callahan knows Prince well, and given the team's willingness to reshuffle the deck, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a standard elevation from the practice squad and gets a one-game tryout to be Tennessee's new starter at right tackle.

Someone needs to be fired.
