The Tennessee Titans have claimed defensive tackle Jonah Laulu off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders, the team announced Wednesday. To make room for Laulu, Tennessee waived defensive tackle Timmy Horne.

Laulu was released by Las Vegas on Tuesday. The 26-year-old Laulu had fallen out of the Raiders' regular rotation this season. He recorded five tackles, three quarterback hits and half a sack across 110 defensive snaps and 24 special-teams snaps in five games. His playing time decreased after he had started 15 games for Las Vegas during the 2025 season.

Despite his limited opportunities this year, Laulu brings considerable experience. He appeared in 39 games for the Raiders, including 22 starts, accumulating 91 tackles, 5.5 sacks, eight passes defended and 12 quarterback hits. He also set a franchise record with 86 tackles by a defensive lineman over his first two seasons with the team.

The Indianapolis Colts selected Laulu in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma. However, the Colts released him following training camp during his rookie year, and Las Vegas claimed him off waivers the following day. He subsequently remained with the Raiders until his release.

The move gives the Titans an experienced defensive tackle ahead of Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
