The Titans plan to add
cornerback Tanard Davis to the team's practice
squad.
Davis has spent time with several NFL teams, most
recently the New Orleans Saints. The former Miami
(Fla.) star worked out for the Titans recently.
The Titans had an extra spot on the practice squad
after elevating cornerback Tuff Harris last month.

New Orleans Saints Executive
Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis
announced Sunday that the team has placed
defensive tackle Brian Young on the
reserve/injured list. Taking his place on the
roster will be tight end Buck Ortega, who was
signed from the Saints’ practice squad.
The Saints also released cornerback Tanard Davis from
the practice squad and re-signed defensive tackle Remi
Ayodele to take his spot.

The Saints also signed
defensive back Tanard Davis to their practice
squad, replacing Quincy Butler, who was signed by
the Dallas Cowboys to their active roster. Davis
is a 25-year-old first-year player who has spent
time on the practice squads of the Indianapolis
Colts and Carolina Panthers and was in training
camp with the St. Louis Rams this summer. The
former University of Miami defender spent a week
on the active roster of the Philadelphia Eagles
late in the 2007 season but was inactive in their
season finale.

were cornerbacks Tanard Davis, Rashod Moulton,
Jerome Perry and Tyrone Poole.

Andre Dyson? Ty Law? Turns
out the Rams went the "other guy" route to add
depth to the cornerback position, signing Tanard
Davis. Davis was signed last December by the
Eagles from the Carolina practice squad. Davis is
fast, but has bounced around the league as,
mostly, a training camp depth guy. That's most
likely what he'll be with the Rams.

Cornerback Tanard Davis, a
late-season pickup in 2007, was cut by the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Fun fact: Davis won a Super Bowl ring with the
Colts in 2006 despite spending most of the season on
the practice squad, then went to Carolina's practice
squad for 2007, from which he was signed by the Eagles
the day after Christmas. He tried to learn how to
return punts this year, a task for which much of the
local media ridiculed him. 1) I'm not really that
cool on dragging down the guys who are just trying to
do anything they can to get their shot.
2) If you think returning punts is so easy, go try
it sometime. Regardless, he's gone.

Speedy cornerback Tanard
Davis struggled mightily to field punts, but
safety and fourth-round draft pick Quintin Demps
has looked smooth in the role.

The Philadelphia Daily News
reports Eagles CB Tanard Davis got some
punt-return reps yesterday. Davis is probably not
a threat to unseat rookie WR DeSean Jackson.
During the return work, Davis looked like he'd
been spun around blindfolded before being asked to
track the ball.

Rory Seagrest strongly
implied that one way or another a rookie will be
returning punts this season.
"(WR) Bill Sampy is back there, J.R. is still
back there, (CB) Tanard Davis is a guy who we've put
back and let him catch a few balls. We've got some
pretty good backups. Right now we're trying to get
DeSean and Quintin(Demps) as many reps as we can get
those guys to get them comfortable back there, but we
do have some down-the-line guys as well."
