NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have added another piece to their reshaped offensive puzzle, officially signing running back Tyrion Davis-Price to a two-year contract, according to his agent and first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The move gives Davis-Price, a former third-round pick, a fresh opportunity to revive his NFL career in a system that’s expected to rely heavily on a strong ground game to support rookie quarterback Cam Ward in 2025.
A New Beginning for Davis-Price
Tyrion Davis-Price entered the league in 2022 as a third-round selection by the San Francisco 49ers, drafted out of LSU. Known for his powerful running style and bruising between-the-tackles approach, Davis-Price was expected to be a key depth piece in Kyle Shanahan’s versatile backfield.
However, his NFL career has yet to fully take off. In his rookie season, he made only six game appearances, rushing for 99 yards on 34 carries. In 2023, his role diminished even further. He was eventually waived in December of that year and spent the remainder of the season on San Francisco’s practice squad. After brief stints, including time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Davis-Price found himself without a long-term team heading into 2025.
Titans Add Depth and Power to the Backfield
Tennessee’s decision to bring in Davis-Price reflects their focus on building a deeper, more balanced offense to support first-overall draft pick Cam Ward. With a mix of veteran experience and young talent on the roster, the Titans are creating competition across all offensive positions.
Davis-Price now joins a running back room that includes newly signed Elijah Mitchell, also a former 49ers back, as well as holdovers like Hassan Haskins. While Mitchell is likely penciled in as the starter, Davis-Price could carve out a valuable role as a change-of-pace or short-yardage back, thanks to his 6’1”, 219-pound frame.
Titans Continue Offseason Overhaul
This signing is the latest in a series of strategic additions by new Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi, who has taken an aggressive approach to rebuilding a roster that finished 3-14 in 2025. The offense in particular struggled mightily, finishing near the bottom of the league in rushing and scoring.
Now, with Cam Ward bringing hope under center, Tennessee appears committed to surrounding him with reliable skill players and a strong supporting cast — particularly in the run game, which could serve as a stabilizing force for the rookie quarterback.
What’s Next for Davis-Price?
For Tyrion Davis-Price, the deal represents a key chance to reboot his professional career. At just 24 years old, he still has the physical tools and upside that once made him a top-100 draft pick. Tennessee, with its current backfield depth chart still unsettled, could offer him one of the best opportunities in the league to earn meaningful snaps and revive his trajectory.
Training camp will be critical for Davis-Price, who will need to show he can stay healthy, pick up the playbook quickly, and contribute both on offense and potentially special teams.
If he can deliver, the Titans may have landed a low-risk, high-reward contributor to a reimagined offensive identity.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Titans’ offseason moves and roster developments as the team prepares for the 2025 campaign.
