Jamarco Jones’ tenure with the Tennessee Titans came to an unceremonious end on Thursday.
The Titans released the former Ohio State offensive tackle on Thursday after he was involved in a pair of incidents over the course of three days that led to him being asked to leave practice early.
According to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com, Jones was first kicked out of practice on Tuesday after a skirmish with Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. He was asked to leave practice early again on Thursday after a blindside block on linebacker Jack Gibbens that nearly led to a brawl between the offense and defense, and Titans coach Mike Vrabel made his displeasure with Jones clear after Thursday’s incident.
“I think you have to just know how to practice. We talk about all the time about being competitive and going to that line, and not doing anything that could hurt the team. We don’t want to see that,” Vrabel said.

Jones was competing to be the Titans’ starting right tackle, a job that opened up for at least the start of the 2023 season after fellow former Ohio State offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was suspended for the first six games of the year for violating the NFL’s gambling policy by betting on non-NFL sports at the Titans’ team facility.
Instead, Jones will now have to hope he gets another opportunity elsewhere in the league. The 2018 fifth-round pick has played in 36 NFL games with seven starts but never played in a game for the Titans, missing the entire 2022 season due to injury after spending his first four years in the league with the Seattle Seahawks.
