Vaccaro announced his retirement Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro was released by Tennessee in March of 2021 and has received offers from several NFL teams since then. However, he'll elect to end his playing career following eight professional seasons with the Saints and Titans. The 30-year-old totaled 610 tackles (437 solo), 11.5 sacks, 10 interceptions, 44 pass defenses, four forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries across his eight seasons.

The Titans are releasing Vaccaro on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro would have cost the Titans $6.9 million for 2021 if he remained on the roster, so it's unsurprising to see him be released. Amani Hooker should be able to slot into Vaccaro's former starting role fairly seamlessly, but this is still a notable loss for a Titans secondary that also just parted ways with Malcolm Butler.

Vaccaro (illness) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro suited up as a starting safety for the Titans over 11 of the team's first 12 games of 2020, but an illness kept him inactive during Week 14 and 15 wins over Jacksonville and Detroit. Now back at practice with no restrictions, it appears the 29-year-old is on pace to play Week 16 in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers may be tempted to throw in Vaccaro's direction, as the Texas product has conceded a 73.7 percent completion rate with two touchdowns against him in coverage, forcing zero interceptions over 38 targets this season.

Vaccaro (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro will miss a second straight game due to this illness, which hasn't been linked to COVID-19. Amani Hooker started in Vaccaro's place last week, and Josh Kalu received an uptick in usage as well. Vaccaro will look to heal up for next week's matchup against the Packers.

Vaccaro (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro sat out last weekend's game against the Jaguars due to an ailment, and he isn't yet fully healthy. The starting safety has logged back-to-back limited practices, but it sounds like a final word on his availability could come down to a game-time decision.

Vaccaro (illness) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Vaccaro -- who had been listed as questionable -- now unavailable Sunday, look for Josh Kalu and Amani Hooker to see added work in the Titans' secondary versus Jacksonville.

Vaccaro (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro was added to the injury report Saturday. His illness hasn't been linked to COVID-19, but he could still miss the divisional bout. If Vaccaro ends up sidelined, Josh Kalu and Amani Hooker should both see substantial increases in their respective snap counts.

Vaccaro collected nine total tackles during Sunday's 45-26 win against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro missed Tennessee's Week 11 win at Baltimore because of a concussion, but he was able to return to full participation in practice by the following Wednesday. The Texas product has been active with 17 tackles over his past two appearances, but he remains without a takeaway in 2020. He's allowed two touchdowns while in coverage, surrendering a 76.7 percent completion rate over 30 targets this season.

Vaccaro (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran safety missed Sunday's win over the Ravens due to the concussion, but he's set to return to the field for Week 12. Vaccaro missed only a handful of snaps this season before being inactive Sunday, and he has 56 total tackles, one sack and four passes defensed in nine games.

Vaccaro (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Ravens, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vaccaro was on the injury report earlier in the week with a neck injury, and now he's been placed in the league's concussion protocol, ruling him out for Week 11. The veteran safety is an integral part of the Titans' secondary, and Amani Hooker should be the main beneficiary of Vaccaro's absence. Vaccaro will look to return for next week's divisional clash against Indianapolis.
