The Tennessee Titans have released wide receiver Tyler Lockett after he asked to be let go, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
An 11th-year NFL veteran, Lockett was in his first season with the Titans after 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Lockett has played a limited role on a poor Titans offense, tallying 10 catches for 70 yards and no touchdowns across seven games.

A three-time All-Pro early in his career, Lockett could be an appealing option for a team seeking veteran wide receiver help. Per the report, Lockett would be free to sign with another team Wednesday afternoon.
Lockett is listed as a starter on Tennessee’s depth chart alongside Calvin Ridley and rookie Elic Ayomanor. But his 70 receiving yards is eighth-best on the team behind four receivers, two tight ends and running back Tony Pollard.
The Titans make the move in the second week of a new coaching regime after the dismissal of head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans promoted senior offensive assistant and former San Diego Chargers head coach Mike McCoy to interim head coach after Callahan’s dismissal.

McCoy will be tasked with improving a team that’s off to a 1-6 start and developing rookie quarterback Cam Ward, whom the Titans selected with the No. 1 pick in April’s NFL Draft. He’ll do so without the services of Lockett.
The Titans took a 10-3 lead over the Patriots on Sunday in McCoy’s first game as head coach before allowing New England to pull away for a 31-13 blowout.
