The Titans said Taylor Thompson was fine when they cut him.
He and the knee surgery he’s about to have disagree, so the union is going to bat for him.
According to Adam Caplan of ESPN, the NFLPA recently filed an injury grievance on behalf of the former Titans tight end.
Thompson worked during OTAs, but didn’t take part in minicamp because of knee problems. The Titans released him in June.
“To be honest with you, I don’t know what to tell you,” Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said then. “When [Thompson] left here, however many weeks ago, he was healthy. We communicated, he said he was fine, no issues, other than some personal matters. He shows up, says there’s something wrong with his knee, and I have no idea what he is talking about.”
When they released him, there was no injury designation, despite the fact he had played just three games because of a knee problem last year.
