Tennessee Titans linebacker Harold Landry (knee) is expected to return on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The 27-year-old missed all last season because of a torn ACL, which was a tough blow considering he recorded 12 sacks during the 2021-22 campaign. He practiced in full on Friday, which is always a good sign regarding a player's availability. But Landry remains questionable for now, although IDP managers should get him in their lineups once he's officially given the green light for Week 1.
Tennessee Titans linebacker Harold Landry (knee) didn't take part in organized team activities or minicamp this offseason after he missed all of 2022 due to a torn ACL he suffered last preseason, but he's made good use of his time, according to his coaches. "He looks really good," head coach Mike Vrabel said. The Titans haven't given an exact timetable for Landry's return, but the hope is he'll be able to get on the field at some point in training camp. The former second-rounder in 2018 should give the Titans D a big boost in 2023 after he made his first Pro Bowl in 2021, when he had 12 sacks and 49 QB pressures. The 27-year-old has 31 sacks and 256 tackles (164 solo) in his four NFL seasons with Tennessee.
Tennessee Titans linebacker Harold Landry (knee) was placed on the injured reserve list on Friday. The 26-year-old suffered a torn ACL during practice on Wednesday, so his designation isn't a surprise. It's a tough blow for Landry, who signed a five-year, $87.5 million contract extension this offseason after totaling 75 tackles and 12 sacks in 2021-22. He's likely done for the year, although IDP dynasty managers will undoubtedly want to keep him stashed.
Tennessee Titans linebacker Harold Landry (knee) suffered a torn ACL during practice on Wednesday. The 26-year-old had a monstrous season in 2021-22, finishing the year with 75 tackles (51 solo) and 12 sacks. As a result, he was rewarded with a five-year, $87.5 million contract extension in March. While nothing has been confirmed, there is a good chance his season is over, which would undoubtedly be a tough blow for IDP managers. It also isn't good news for those rostering the Titans defense this season.
The Tennessee Titans re-signed outside linebacker Harold Landry to a five-year, $87.5 million contract extension with $52.5 million guaranteed on Tuesday, according to sources. The Titans prioritized bringing the 25-year-old pass-rusher back after he had a career-high 12 sacks last season in the last year of his rookie deal. Landry was selected by Tennessee in the second round of the 2018 draft out of Boston College, and he produced 44 tackles (24 solo), five tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, a forced fumble and 4.5 sacks in his first year in the NFL. Landry, who was named to his first Pro Bowl after last season, has 31 total sacks in his first four seasons and will continue to lead the Titans D.
Tennessee Titans impending free-agent outside linebacker Harold Landry is coming off a career-high 12-sack season in 2021, and he'll be in high demand if he reaches free agency. A long-term deal for Landry may be more difficult after the massive deal that pass-rusher Bud Dupree got last year, combined with the fact that the Titans are strapped for cash against the salary cap this offseason. Landry has indicated that he'd like to remain in Tennessee, so the franchise tag might be the way to go as a placeholder to buy the team more time to work on a long-term extension. The 25-year-old finished last year with a career-high 75 tackles (51 solo) as well, adding 14 tackles for loss, 22 QB hits and a forced fumble in 17 regular season games in his first Pro Bowl season.
Tennessee Titans impending free-agent outside linebacker Harold Landry made it clear on Thursday that he would like to re-sign with the team this offseason. The second-round pick in 2018 finished the 2021 regular season with 12 sacks, which ranked 10th in the NFL and led the team. Landry also led the Titans with 14 tackles for loss and was second on the team with a career-best 49 QB pressures while finishing third on the team with 74 tackles to earn a Pro Bowl nod. He's scheduled to be a free agent in March, but he wants to return. "It's no secret that I love playing for the Titans, and my family loves living in Tennessee," Landry said. "So hopefully we can get a deal done." There's mutual interest from the Titans as well, with general manager Jon Robinson saying earlier in the week he'd like to keep Landry around.
Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson said that the team wants to keep impending free-agent outside linebacker Harold Landry after he made great strides during his 12-sack season in 2021. "I think Harold wants to be (with us), not to speak for him," Robinson said. "We are going to do everything we can to try and keep Harold, but we understand there's a lot of other things that need to go down, too." Landry was playing on the final year of his four-year contract this year after he was taken in the second round in 2018 by the Titans. Tennessee could decide to use the franchise tag on Landry, which would give them more time to work out a long-term contract extension with him. The 25-year-old Pro Bowler finished his fourth season with a career-high 75 tackles (51 solo), 14 tackles for loss, 22 QB hits and a forced fumble in 17 regular season games.
Tennessee Titans linebacker Harold Landry took part in individual drills on Tuesday. He's received the last two days off from practice along with other veterans after departing Sunday's practice early for an undisclosed reason. He should be returning back to full work in the next few days, but it is something to watch in regards to the third-year pass-rusher. Landry, 24, had 68 combined tackles (43 solo), 12 tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, one interception, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and nine sacks in his second season with Tennessee in 2019. He's one to watch in IDP leagues, but he shouldn't be considered a starter.
Tennessee Titans linebackers coach Shane Bowen said that linebacker Harold Landry played too many snaps last season and that he needs to do a better job of watching Landry's snap count in 2020 in order to get the biggest bang for the buck. A second-round pick by the Titans in 2018, Landry has 13.5 sacks, 112 tackles (67 solo), one interception, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 31 games. He's been plenty productive, but it sounds like the Titans would prefer to use him less often, which could actually make him even more productive when he is on the field. The soon-to-be 24-year-old won't be on the IDP radar, but he's an outside linebacker to keep an eye on.
