The Titans waived Petit-Frere on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Petit-Frere has struggled to impress since being selected by Tennessee in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and the team opted to cut him to make way for a new round of incoming rookies in the 2025 draft. The 6-foot-5 offensive tackle will work to earn a chance to compete for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Rotowire
Petit-Frere received a six-game suspension Thursday for violating the NFL's gambling policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Petit-Frere did not bet on NFL contests, but he did bet on games from the team facility, which resulted in the suspension. The 23-year-old released a statement that he did not "knowingly break the rules" and was "unaware about the specifics around placing bets from a team facility." However, he'll be available to help the team during training camp and get himself prepared when he can return to the roster.
