According to NFL beat writer Paul Kuharsky, the Tennessee Titans have claimed former Indianapolis Colts starting cornerback Samuel Womack III, who was just released as part of 53-man roster cuts, off waivers:
Having similarly been claimed off waivers by the Colts from the San Francisco 49ers last offseason, Womack III ended up being a revelation for their depleted secondary after their cornerback room was simply decimated with injuries.
Having appeared in 17 games (8 starts), Womack III finished with 36 tackles (26 solo), 2 interceptions, and 9 passes defensed this past season. Per PFF, he earned a +71.4 overall grade during 2024 with Indianapolis.
Unfortunately, he just wasn’t as much of a natural fit in new Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo’s coverage scheme and [**was also limited by a hamstring injury to end the team’s training camp.**](https://x.com/RomeovilleKid/status/1957884088796295239)
On Tuesday, he was released along with former 2023 2nd round pick JuJu Brents at cornerback.
It marks the second time in as many years that the Colts’ AFC South rivals have claimed a corner off waivers, as last year, the Titans also snagged released Indy corner, Darrell ‘D.J.’ Baker off waivers as part of final 53-man cuts. Baker signed a one-year contract extension with Tennessee earlier this offseason.
