He recorded a total of 74 yards on 15 carries with two touchdowns his rookie season. He spent the majority of time in Motown on the team&#8217;s practice squad.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_mc28hvz7x\">In total, Jefferson appeared in nine games, securing 96 yards and two touchdowns on 21 times carries.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_r1y36ikza\">Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker provided his assessment of what growth looks like for a Titans squad that only won three games in 2024.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_zx1xmb8ri\">&#8220;I do want to see our football team improve from day-to-day to week-to-week. To where by the end of the season, you know, we\u2019ll see what we look like and hopefully we\u2019re healthy,&#8221; said Brinker. &#8220;This game, it\u2019s a war of attrition. So you got to be healthy and there\u2019s just a lot of work to do. So, it\u2019s hard to really define, you know, if you\u2019re asking me what the success looks like in 2025, you know, I think that\u2019s for you guys to write about.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ua1g4h1ha\">&#8220;I just want to see this team get better and we\u2019ll go through another season this year acquisition, you know, where we got the first waiver claim,&#8221; Brinker added. &#8220;We\u2019re going to constantly be looking to upgrade this roster. If guys aren\u2019t getting the job done, then we\u2019ll get guys in here that will. So the top of the roster is just as important as the bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Titans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Titans<\/a> signing former <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Lions?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Lions<\/a> running back Jermar Jefferson today, per a league source <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KPRC2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KPRC2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AaronWilson_NFL\/status\/1948072117221650480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFC South squad have added another running back to training camp roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28885,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
