Hassan Haskins placed on Commissioner Exempt List as Titans reduce roster to 53

Titans running back and former Michigan standout Hassan Haskins has been placed on the Commissioner Exempt List following his summer arrest. The news comes after the ball carrier was placed on the injured reserve, likely ending his 2023 season.

Haskins was selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Michigan. He finished his rookie season in Tennessee with 93 rushing and 57 receiving yards.

Haskins was arrested and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation following two separate incidents with his girlfriend, per MLive.com.

The story from MLive.com reads, “In the first incident, according to ESPN, Haskins is alleged to have strangled his 22-year-old girlfriend, Makiah Green. A second incident saw Green allegedly throw a glass at Haskins, rip a chain off his neck, broke his phone and assault him.

“Green, the girlfriend, was also jailed and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation and felony vandalism.”

The roster move comes after the Titans concluded their preseason schedule. Tennessee ended that portion of the year with a 2-1 record. It will open the regular season against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.

Titans release new look at $2.1 billion stadium

As a new NFL season approaches, the Titans are also looking ahead to building a new stadium. The team plans to build a new venue to house the NFL team, with an opening date at some time in 2027.

In early August, Tennessee released a new look at the future venue. And, we have to admit, it looks like a pretty awesome development in Nashville.

The Titans’ new stadium will be on the East Bank in Nashville. Tennessee currently plays at Nissan Stadium, which opened in 1999 and cost roughly $290 million to build at the time. It has a capacity of 69,000, which is roughly 7,000 more than what the Titans announced the new stadium will hold when it opens.

“This stadium wasn’t designed to look like all the others,” the Titans website states. “We’re building it from scratch. We’re building it for you. It represents the very best of Tennessee: the willingness to work together when the odds are stacked against us and supporting each other along the way.

“We’ll experience our best moments here, together – strangers high-fiving amid touchdown cheers and thousands singing at the top of their lungs to the same soundtrack. Everything you love about our city you’ll find in this stadium. Because this is our town. Our time. Our team.”
