Marte Mapu: Tryout with Tennessee
The Titans hosted Mapu for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Mapu was waived from the Texans' IR with an injury settlement in late August due to an undisclosed injury. The linebacker is now healthy and ready to return to the NFL. The Titans' defense is thin at linebacker, and the Patriots' 2023 third-round pick could have a shot to revive his career in Tennessee.

The Texans waived Mapu (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Mapu was waived/injured due to an undisclosed issue Aug. 24 and reverted to season-ending IR after going unclaimed on waivers. However, the injury settlement will allow him to suit up in 2026 once he returns to health and finds work with a new club. Mapu played in all 17 regular-season games with New England last year, posting 25 tackles, one forced fumble and five defensed passes, including an interception, while working both on defense and special teams.
