TITANS DENNIS KELLY’S LAST LAUGH IS ON HOLD FOR THIS SUNDAY

Al Thompson

NASHVILLE: Former Eagles offensive lineman Dennis Kelly was once compared to a “bag of footballs” after he was traded in August 2016 to the Tennessee Titans for wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. The long, talented player had been drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft following a disappointing career at Missouri where he was dismissed from the team in 2014.
As it turns out, the Titans are the ones who fleeced the Eagles. Green-Beckham was a bust and Kelly just signed a three-year extension with Tennessee. But Kelly will not get his last laugh up close and personal as he has been out for over two weeks with a mysterious illness,. He is expected to recover and rejoin the team at some point this season.
