The Tennessee Titans are bringing back one of their greats for what is the most important game of the year.
The team announced on Monday that former defensive lineman Jurrell Casey will serve as the Honorary 12th Titan for the divisional-round game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.
This will be the first time Casey returns to Nissan Stadium in an official capacity since he held his retirement press conference there back in September.
A former third-round pick of the Titans in 2011, Casey spent nine years with the team and is considered one of the best defenders in franchise history. His 51 sacks are tied for fifth-most in team history, and he was voted to five Pro Bowls.

Casey’s time in Nashville came to an end in 2020 after he was traded to the Denver Broncos for a seventh-round pick. Casey was understandably upset by the deal at the time, but both sides have patched things up since then.
