NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Tennessee Titans have signed wide receiver/kick returner Marc Mariani, who returns to the place where he began his career.
The Titans also announced Monday they waived wide receiver Tre McBride.
Mariani spent his first four NFL seasons with the Titans, though he spent two of those on injured reserve. He spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears, who waived him on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Mariani has career averages of 9.5 yards per punt return and 25 yards per kickoff return. He has scored on two punt returns and one kickoff return. He also has 27 career catches, with 22 of them coming last season.
Mariani, a former seventh-round draft pick from Montana, was a Pro Bowl kickoff returner as a rookie in 2010.
