Rotowire
Urban is signing with the Titans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
A 16-game starter for the Ravens last season, Urban will now be reunited with Titans defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who held the same role in Baltimore from 2012 to 2017. Urban should push DaQuan Jones for a starting job at defensive end in Tennessee's 3-4 scheme, while rookie first-round pick Jeffery Simmons (knee) will focus on his rehab from a torn ACL suffered in February. The Titans now have solid depth across from Jurrell Casey, who is working on six consecutive seasons with at least five sacks.

Brent Urban: Checking out Tennessee
Rotowire
Urban visited the Titans on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Urban was a starter for Baltimore in 2018, but the team didn't re-sign him in March. The 27-year-old defensive end doesn't add much as a pass-rushing threat, but he seals the edge well and posted 27 tackles last year. If he ends up with the Titans, he'll likely compete with DaQuan Jones for a starting role.

After suffering a season-ending knee injury last season, Ravens defensive end Brent Urban was able to participate in the team's OTA session Wednesday, reports ESPN.com.
During Wednesday's session, Urban was working with the starters when he got a little too close to quarterback Joe Flacco during a pass rushing drill. After celebrating the play, coach John Harbaugh sent Urban to the sidelines to contemplate what he had done, reports The Baltimore Sun.
"It was Brent's second time, so he was sent to his room for a couple of plays," Harbaugh said. "But we do like to keep our guys away from the quarterback. He was a little too close, and then he was celebrating. That's what sent me over the edge. It's like, 'Do you not understand what we're doing here?'"
