Brandon Copeland survives NFL roster cut

Former Penn defensive lineman Brandon Copeland has survived another round of NFL preseason cuts, finding himself on the Tennessee Titans’ 75-man roster.

In his career with the Red and Blue, Copeland recorded 160 total tackles in 39 games played and was a first-team All-Ivy performer in three separate seasons. In his senior year in 2012, he served as captain of the Ivy champion Quakers and earned Ivy Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Since graduation, Copeland has lost weight and transitioned to linebacker. After signing as an undrafted free agent and having a cup of coffee with the Baltimore Ravens, he spent time last year playing on the Titans’ practice squad.

Copeland will have a chance to play for a roster spot in a preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings on Aug. 28 before the final 22 cuts are made this Saturday.
