Harold Landry and Bud Dupree cannot play outside linebacker together for Tennessee this season. However, Dupree has a deal with the Titans that runs through 2025, so the team should have both players for many years to come to lead the pass rush.
Rashad Weaver and Ola Adeniyi are likely to play more this season with Landry out injured. On September 11, Tennessee takes on the New York Giants in the season opener.
