Canadian offensive lineman Kyle Hergel worked out for the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday. According to _3DownNation_ reporter John Hodge, the workout went well but Hergel is not expected to sign with the team immediately.
The 25-year-old recently participated in training camp with the New Orleans Saints but was let go amid final cuts.
Hergel dressed for eight regular-season games with the Saints last year, playing 45 offensive snaps and 26 special teams snaps. He originally joined the team as a free agent after going unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The six-foot-three, 302-pound blocker played his final collegiate season at Boston College in 2023 where he was named an All-ACC honourable mention at guard. He spent the two previous seasons at Texas State where he was named All-Sun Belt honourable mention in 2021 and third-team All-Sun Belt in 2022.
The native of Toronto, Ont. started his collegiate career at the University of North Dakota where he was named the FCS Independent Newcomer of the Year in 2019. Over 54 career collegiate starts, he allowed five sacks and 32 pressures on 1,774 pass-blocking snaps.
Hergel’s exclusive CFL rights belong to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who selected him in the first round of the 2024 CFL Draft. The team has indicated that it’s in communication with Hergel in case he chooses to sign a contract up north.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders (10-2) will host the Montreal Alouettes (5-7) on Saturday, September 13 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Alouettes lost 26-9 at home to the Tiger-Cats last week, while the Roughriders beat the Blue Bombers in the Banjo Bowl by a score of 21-13.
The weather forecast in Regina calls for a high of 20 degrees with cloudy conditions and a 30 percent chance of showers. The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 690 in Montreal and 620 CKRM in Regina.
