Activated from COVID-19 list Dupree (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Dupree spent just two days in the COVID-19 protocols and has now been cleared to practice with his teammates. The former Steelers linebacker is expected to bolster Tennessee's pass rush, as Dupree has totaled 19.5 sacks in 27 games over the past two seasons.

From PUP to COVID list The Titans placed Dupree (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Dupree began training camp on the PUP list, so he'll now need to fully clear the league's COVID protocols and pass a physical before attending practices. The veteran linebacker is coming off a torn ACL suffered last December, so he can't be considered a lock for Week 1.

Placed on PUP list Dupree (knee) was placed on the PUP list Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact This doesn't come as a surprise considering Dupree did not participate in any drills throughout OTAs. The 28-year-old linebacker tore his ACL in December, but that didn't stop the Titans from handing out the pass rusher a massive five-year, $82.5 million contract this offseason. It's unclear when Dupree will be able to practice, but the team has not ruled him out for the start of the regular season.

Impact Dupree has been present for all mandatory offseason activities for his new team, but he has yet to participate in any drills. If healthy, the 28-year-old could revitalize a pass rush that was abysmal during the 2020 campaign, finishing 29th in total sacks and 32nd in third-down conversion rate. It's worth mentioning that the Titans made a similar move for Jadeveon Clowney before the 2020 season, but it had minimal effect on the defense as Clowney played in just eight games and failed to register a sack.
