NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Titans have released veteran cornerback Perrish Cox, and the team will promote cornerbackKalan Reed from the practice squad to the team's 53-man roster to take his place.

In four seasons at Southern Mississippi (2012-15), Reed played in 48 games with 39 starts. Reed registered 152 career tackles, eight interceptions (three returned for touchdowns), 35 passes defensed and 8.5 tackles for loss.

Reed lived in Nashville from the time he was two-years old until he was six. He started playing football in Antioch, Tenn., with the Flatrock Vols pee-wee team and played during halftime of a Titans game when he was five-years old.
