Kern officially retired from the NFL on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern had a 15 year NFL career, where he spent most of his time in Tennessee, receiving two All-Pro nods and appearing in three Pro Bowls from 2017-2019. The accomplished punter also started his career in Denver and finished in Philadelphia.

Kern is expected to sign with the Eagles on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern's likely addition to the Eagles comes as Arryn Siposs suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Giants, which has him being considered out indefinitely. It's unclear whether Kern will join the team's practice squad first, or if he'll be directly signing with the 53-man roster. He last played with the Titans in 2021, but he was released during training camp after being the team's punter since 2009.

The Titans released Kern on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern has been the Titans' primary punter since 2009, but he appears to have lost his starting gig to Ryan Stonehouse, an undrafted rookie out of Colorado State. Due to his experience, Kern figures to at least get looks from teams in search of an upgrade at punter.

The Titans activated Kern (groin) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern appears set to retake the field Sunday versus Kansas City. Prior to sitting out Week 6 while on the COVID-19 list, Kern had missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury.

Kern (groin) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern has missed the past two games due to a groin injury, and he's now unavailable while on the COVID-19 list. It's unclear whether he tested positive for the virus or is a close contact, but he'll be out until he clears the health and safety protocols regardless. Johnny Townsend should continue to fill in as Tennessee's punter.

Kern (groin) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern will miss his second consecutive game dealing with a groin injury. Johnny Townsend will likely continue to fill in for the punter until he is healthy enough to return to the field. Kern's next chance to play will be in Week 6 against the Bills.

Kern (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Kern injured his groin during the week and missed practice Friday. The punter will miss his first game of the 2021 campaign, so the Titans signed Johnny Townsend to punt for the team on Sunday.

Kern (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old landed on the COVID list earlier in the week, but he's back on the active roster in time for the final game of the regular season. Kern will handle punting and holding duties Sunday for the Titans, per usual.

Kern was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. If it's the latter, Kern could play in Week 17 as long as he continues to test negative. The Titans have punter Trevor Daniel on the practice squad in case Kern is held out of the season finale.

Kern (wrist) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kern has been sidelined the past three weeks due to the wrist injury, but he's ready to go for Week 12. The 34-year-old reclaims punting duties from Trevor Daniel, who was waived earlier in the week.
