The Tennessee Titans have released veteran wide receiver Hakeem Nicks among their moves in trimming their roster to the NFL's 53-man limit.
The Titans announced their final moves Saturday.
They had signed Nicks to a one-year contract, and this move leaves Tennessee with four receivers with Kendall Wright, Harry Douglas, Justin Hunter and rookie Dorial Green-Beckham. They also kept five tight ends with Chase Coffman and Phillip Supernaw on the roster for now.

The Titans also placed linebackers Zaviar Gooden (hamstring) and J.R. Tavai (knee) and Yawin Smallwood on injured reserve.
