NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a trade that will send outside linebacker Kamalei Correa to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Correa was frustrated with his diminished role after playing only 38 snaps on defense (14%) and 23 special-teams snaps in three games.

Trading Correa gives the fifth-year veteran the fresh start that he wanted. Correa’s new team happens to be a Titans AFC South rival. The Titans and Jaguars will meet next on the field in Jacksonville on Dec. 13.

Correa asked the Titans to trade him after he was not active for Tuesday night’s 42-16 win over the Buffalo Bills. Tennessee had just removed Correa from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday after he was placed on the list on Sept. 30.
