After signing with the Tennessee Titans in March, defensive lineman Lorenzo Carter is retiring from the NFL.
Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi made the announcement on July 22, one day after Carter informed the team of his decision and one day ahead of the opening of training camp.
Carter, who was expected to play regularly after signing with Tennessee, now leaves a significant opening on the roster. Borgonzi said he was surprised by Carter’s decision and will look to add defensive depth given Carter’s departure.
Carter, 29, played seven seasons in the NFL after being drafted by the New York Giants in 2018. In 96 games, he finished with 170 tackles, 21.5 sacks, and five forced fumbles.
