Terrance West Released by Titans: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

The Tennessee Titans cut running back Terrance West on Saturday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 

In 2014, his rookie year, West played in 14 games for the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 673 yards and four touchdowns. He entered the 2015 preseason competing with Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson for playing time but was subsequently traded to the Titans for a conditional seventh-round pick in early September. 

However, West was unable to secure a consistent role in Tennessee, falling behind Bishop Sankey, Antonio Andrews, David Cobb and Dexter McCluster on the depth chart. In limited time, West appeared in two games, rushing just 16 times for 51 yards, all in the first two weeks of the season.

Because West didn't play in enough games, the Titans don't owe the Browns a pick, according to Titans Online's Jim Wyatt. 

According to Zac Jackson of Pro Football Talk, the team officially named Andrews its starting running back this week while Cobb is set to return from injury.

Wyatt reports that Tennessee also promoted cornerback B.W. Webb from the practice squad to fill the empty roster spot. 

Teams that are looking for added depth at the running back position could find use for West, especially if they are looking for a more physical runner, despite his 5'10" frame.

He's shown in the past that he can succeed against teams like the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North (combined 234 yards and two touchdowns in three career games). That could be enough for a team to take a chance on him.
