The Tennessee Titans worked out two former Seattle Seahawks linebackers, Jimmy Ciarlo and Josh Ross, on Monday, Nov. 9, Heavy reported, citing NFL reporter Aaron Wilson.
Both players spent time on Seattle's practice squad this season. Neither has signed with Tennessee, the report said, but the workouts give each a chance to return to the league. The sessions came five days after Seattle released Ciarlo to open a practice-squad spot.
Ciarlo, 25, a former Army player, joined Seattle's practice squad on Sept. 30 after a short stay with the Titans earlier in the season. The Seahawks elevated him for their Oct. 15 game against the Denver Broncos when injuries sidelined linebackers Drake Thomas and Chazz Surratt. He recorded one assisted tackle in a 17-14 loss. Seattle elevated him again before the Oct. 24 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. On Nov. 4, the Seahawks announced his release, along with receiver Malick Meiga, and signed quarterback Adrian Martinez and linebacker Jamie Sheriff to the practice squad. Ciarlo's release came as Seattle looked for quarterback insurance after Sam Darnold's quad injury, the report said.
Wilson reported that Tennessee also brought in Ross, another former Seahawks linebacker, on the same day.
The Titans have not announced a signing from the workouts.
The report's account is based on the reporter's transaction notes, not on comments from the players or from Titans coaches.
