The Tennessee Titans released left tackle Taylor Lewan, wide receiver Robert Woods, kicker Randy Bullock and linebacker Zach Cunningham, the team announced Wednesday.
Lewan, 31, is being released with a “failed physical” designation after missing most of the 2022 season with a torn ACL, his second in three seasons. He has played only 20 games since the start of the 2020 campaign.
Lewan’s podcast Bussin’ With The Boys initially broke the news before the three-time Pro Bowl selection chimed in on Twitter.
“I hope I did enough to create something all the titan fans can be proud of, I love you all,” he posted Wednesday.

A first-round pick (11th overall) in 2014, Lewan had a cap hit of $14.841 million for 2023, the final season of a five-year, $80 million deal.
The Titans again own the No. 11 pick in the 2023 draft and could be in the market for Lewan’s replacement.
Tennessee acquired Woods in a March 2022 trade with the Los Angeles Rams. He caught 53 passes for 527 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (15 starts) last season.
Woods, 30, is a two-time 1,000-yard receiver with 623 career catches for 7,604 yards and 37 TDs in 142 games (130 starts) with the Buffalo Bills (2013-16), Rams (2017-21) and Titans.
Bullock made 17 of 20 field goals and all 28 of his extra-point attempts during his second season with Tennessee in 2022.
Bullock, 33, has converted 83.4 percent of his field goals (211 of 253) and 95.6 percent of his PATs (285 of 298) in 138 games with six teams since his 2013 NFL debut.
According to ESPN, the Titans began the day rough $25 million over the salary cap. After these moves, Tennessee is about $4.23 million under the cap.
Cunningham, 28, was also released with a “failed physical” designation. Cunningham played in just six games (all starts) in 2022 because of an elbow injury. He finished with 23 tackles.
He played in just 10 games over parts of two seasons with the Titans. Cunningham previously played 4 1/2 seasons with the Houston Texans.
