Brett Kern

The most notable player that could be available is Tennessee Titans punter Brett Kern, who could lose his job to Ryan Stonehouse. He has been in a training camp battle with Stonehouse, who was an undrafted free agent addition this offseason, and according to Teresa Walker with the Associated Press, the undrafted free agent has a good chance to beat out Kern.

Brett Kern is a veteran punter who started with the Denver Broncos in 2008 but has been with the Titans since 2009. During that time, he has been named to three Pro Bowls and was first-team All-Pro in 2019.

In his career, Kern has an average of 45.9 yards per punt but that total has steadily decreased from a career-high of 49.7 in 2017 to only 44.8 yards per punt last season. However, this preseason he has seen that average jump up to 49.6 yards per punt on five punts.
