Rishard Matthews asks Titans for release

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews told A to Z Sports Nashville he has requested his release from the team.

"Everything is good," Matthews said in a text. "Just wasn't happy with what was going on, barely getting any playing time. It was time to move on."

The receiver also said the two parties have an agreement on his release, but the paperwork is still being finalized.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said after practice Wednesday that Matthews was away from the team for "personal reasons."

The veteran wideout led the Titans in receiving yards in each of the last two seasons but played more than 50 percent of the team's snaps only once in three games this campaign. He has just three receptions for 11 yards.
