Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: Tries out with Las Vegas
Adeniyi worked out for the Raiders on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Shortly after being let go by the Titans earlier this month, Adeniyi drew interest from the Steelers but was unable to pass his physical that would've allowed him to join the team. He's since tried out for the Raiders on Thursday, implying that he's once again available for teams in need of additional linebacker depth.

Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: Fails physical
Adeniyi failed his physical after reaching agreement on a contract with the Steelers on Tuesday and will now become a free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adeniyi was waived by Tennessee on Monday, having played in just three games for the franchise this season. It's unclear why Adeniyi failed his physical, but he'll now work to get healthy and find an opportunity elsewhere before season's end.

Steelers' Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: Back with Pittsburgh
The Steelers signed Adeniyi on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adeniyi, who was waived by the Titans on Monday, is now slated to serve as a complementary depth piece for the Steelers' linebacker corps following Tuesday's transaction. The 25-year-old previously suited up for Pittsburgh from 2018 to 2020, but he's seen game action just three times this season on Tennessee's roster.

Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: Done in Tennessee
Tennessee waived Adeniyi on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With Adeniyi only having played in three of 13 possible games in his second season with the Titans, the team decided it was best to part ways. Unless he's claimed during the current waiver period, the 25-year-old linebacker is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Titans' Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: Healthy scratch for Week 14
Adeniyi (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.
Adeniyi, who suffered a neck injury in Week 2, returned from IR in Week 13 and recorded two solo tackles across 27 defensive snaps. However, despite being healthy, the fifth-year linebacker will take a seat in Week 14. Denico Autry (knee) is also inactive and Harold Landry (knee) remains on IR, so Rashad Weaver and Tarell Basham are candidates for increased pass-rushing opportunities opposite Bud Dupree.

Titans' Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: Officially back from IR
Tennessee activated Adeniyi (neck) from its injured reserve list to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Philadelphia, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
After missing the Titans' last nine games as he recovered from a neck injury he sustained in Week 2 at Buffalo, it appears Adeniyi is on track to suit up in Week 13 at the Eagles. With Denico Autry (knee) out and Harold Landry (knee) still on IR himself, Adeniyi could find himself filling a significant role right off the bat.

Titans' Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: Return window opened
The Titans designated Adeniyi (neck) to return to practice from injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Adeniyi has missed Tennessee's last nine games since being placed on injured reserve with a neck injury that he suffered back in Week 2 versus Buffalo, but he'll now be able to practice as soon as Wednesday and have a 21-day window for the team to add him back onto the roster. With fellow outside linebackers Harold Landry in line to miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and Denico Autry (knee) currently listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia, the 25-year-old could see game action as soon as this weekend depending on how much he's able to accomplish in practice this week.

Titans' Olasunkanmi Adeniyi: IR-bound with neck injury
Tennessee placed Adeniyi (neck) on its injured reserve list Monday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
After already having missed the Titans' last three contests, Adeniyi will now be required to miss at least the team's next four games as well. Tennessee will likely continue to look to Joe Jones (knee) to replace the special-teams reps Adeniyi might otherwise have provided.
