JANUARY 29 • USATODAY.COM

Strong season in Tennessee Al-Shaair recorded 163 total tackles (84 solo), two sacks, four passes defended and one fumble recovered across 17 games with the Titans in 2023.

Impact Al-Shaair joined the Titans on a one-year deal before the 2023 season and showed the ability to handle a full defensive workload. He was on the field for a career-best 1,048 snaps and topped 100 tackles for the second time in five professional seasons. Al-Shaair will be entering his age-26 campaign, and even at a position that has been devalued in the modern NFL, he should be able to land a relatively significant contract.

Late addition to injury report Al-Shaair was added to the injury report Saturday due to an illness and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Al-Shaair has been a key member of the Titans' insider linebacker corps, tallying double-digit stops on six occasions this season. His absence would benefit the likes of Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce and would force Luke Gifford and Otis Reese into more significant roles.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-digit tackle outing Al-Shaair logged 10 total tackles (seven solo) in Monday night's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.

Impact The fifth-year pro continues to be a tackling machine for the Titans, as he's now recorded six games with 10+ stops this season. Al-Shaair is now averaging 9.54 tackles per game through 13 appearances, and he's almost 40 total tackles ahead of Tennessee's second leading tackler. The 26-year-old is having the most productive year of his career, ranking seventh in the NFL in total tackles with 124. Expect Al-Shaair to continue coming up big for the Titans' defense for the remainder of the season.
