Marlon Davidson of the Titans may suffer the end of the season

The Tennessee Titans placed defensive tackle Marlon Davidson on the injured list on Friday after the former Auburn star suffered a torn biceps during a joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday.

While there are fears that the injury could be season-ending, the injured designation has ended any chance of Davidson playing for the Titans this season. If he is released by Tennessee with injury compensation and regains his health, Davidson would be eligible to sign with another team in 2024.

After Davidson revived his NFL career toward the end of the 2023 season, the Titans counted on him as part of their defensive interior rotation with two-time Pro Bowler Jeffery Simmons, second-round draft pick T'Vondre Sweat and Sebastian Joseph-Day.

Davidson did not play in a regular-season NFL game in 2022. But in 2023, Davidson played in the Titans' final five games – the first two as a practice squad extension before making three starts as a member of the 53-man roster. He recorded 10 tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss while playing 163 defensive snaps.

Tennessee re-signed Davidson on May 6 after he became an unrestricted free agent on March 13.

Davidson, Alabama's 2015 Class 5A Lineman of the Year for Greenville High School, was named an All-SEC selection at Auburn before being traded to the Atlanta Falcons in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

In his first two seasons with the Falcons, Davidson played in 19 games, starting one and missing 15 while unable to take the field due to injuries and COVID-19. He totaled 29 tackles, including one sack, one tackle for a loss and one interception that led to a touchdown.

In 2022, Davidson began the season on the injured list after suffering a knee injury in training camp before Atlanta released him on October 25, 2022.

Davidson returned in 2023 after completing the offseason program, training camp and preseason with San Francisco before beginning the season on the 49ers' practice squad. San Francisco released Davidson on October 4, and the Titans signed him to their practice squad on October 25 – exactly one year after he was released by Atlanta.
