Signs three-year extension
Tart and the Chargers agreed to a three-year, $37.5 million extension Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tart is poised to stay with the Chargers through the 2028 campaign. He had been scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason after playing on a one-year, $5.5 million contract in 2025. The nearly 29-year-old defensive lineman played in all 17 regular-season games, totaling 32 tackles (22 solo) before adding 1.0 sacks among his four tackles (three solo) in the Chargers' playoff loss.

Ready for Saturday
Tart (groin) is active for Saturday's matchup against the Texans.
Analysis: The 28-year-old logged consecutive limited sessions to the end the Chargers' week of practice and is now ready to play in Saturday's contest. Tart is an important part of Los Angeles' defensive front, recording 28 total tackles, three passes defensed and one forced fumble over 15 appearances this season. He's expected to operate as the team's top nose tackle during the Week 17 matchup.

Officially questionable for Week 17
Tart (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Texans.

Active against Dallas
Tart (shin) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Tart logged limited practices all week, and the effort will culminate in the nose tackle keeping his start streak alive. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, and Sunday will be no exception. As Tart is likely playing through injury in some capacity, Jamaree Caldwell may see more rotational reps on the defensive line than normal.

Questionable to play Sunday
Tart (shin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Tart logged three limited practices heading into Week 16 versus the Cowboys, giving him a chance to play Sunday. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a game in 2025, accounting for 26 tackles (18 solo) and three pass breakups through Week 15. Should he be unavailable, Otito Ogbonnia will likely get reps on the defensive line behind Jamaree Caldwell and Da'Shawn Hand.

Staying in Los Angeles
The Chargers are slated to sign Tart to a one-year, $5.5 million contract when the new league year begins Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tart appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024 and finished with 29 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He'll bolster the Chargers' depth on the defensive line behind Otito Ogbonnia, Morgan Fox and Justin Eboigbe.

UFA after 29-tackle season
Tart finished the 2024 regular season with one sack among his 29 tackles (15 solo). He also had one interception among two passes defensed, forced one fumble and recovered one fumble.
Analysis: Tart played in all 17 regular-season games and suited up for the Chargers' season-ending 32-12 loss to the Texans in the wild-card round of the playoffs, adding three tackles (two solo). The defensive tackle, who will turn 28 on Feb. 28, is set to be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Joining Chargers
Tart is set to sign with the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tart was released by Miami on Tuesday but didn't have to wait long to find a new organization. The veteran nose tackle played in 13 regular-season contests between Houston and Tennessee last year, totaling 24 tackles (17 solo), including one sack. He should have a role in the Chargers' defensive-line rotation when the regular season rolls around.

Let go by Miami
Tart was released by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

Signing with Miami
Tart is signing a contract with the Dolphins on Friday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Analysis: Tart made 13 appearances between the Titans and Texans last year, totaling 24 tackles (17 solo), including a sack. Several teams expressed interest in the 27-year-old during the offseason, but he'll attempt to carve out a role in Miami in 2024.

Claimed by Houston
Tart (personal) was claimed off waivers from the Titans by the Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Tart was waived Saturday after being reported as out for Week 15 the day before due to personal reasons. The 26-year-old spent the last four seasons in Tennessee, and his tenure ends with 21 tackles (15 solo), including a sack, across 11 games this season. It's not clear how big of a role he'll have in Houston, but he should at least bolster the team's depth on the interior of their defensive line.

Waived Saturday
Tart was waived by the Texans on Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
Analysis: Tart's departure comes after he missled the Titans' Week 14 game due to personal reasons. It is unclear if that situation is what led to his release. The defensive tackle played 30 defensive snaps (43 percent) in Tennessee's most recent game. Jaleel Johnson is the most likely candidate to replace his nose tackle snaps.

Won't suit up vs. Texans
Tart (personal) is out for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tart will miss his third game of the season Sunday for personal reasons. Jeffery Simmons (knee) is also out for Week 15, and Denico Autry (knee) is questionable, so Tennessee could end up being vulnerable to a typically tame Houston rushing attack.

Full go in practice Wednesday
Tart (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Tart is healthy again after missing the past two games with a toe injury. The 26-year-old has logged 10 tackles (eight solo) in four games this season and will now return to his starting spot at nose tackle.

Not playing in London
Tart (toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens in London, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the Titans' Week 5 loss to the Colts, Tart remained a spectator for the team's first two Week 6 practices before returning to the field as a limited participant Friday. Though Tart's on-field activity was enough for the Titans to list him as questionable heading into the weekend, he'll ultimately get some extended time off to heal up from the injury. With the Titans idle for Week 7, Tart should be ready to play when Tennessee returns to action Week 8 with an Oct. 29 home game…read more

Questionable for Week 6
Tart (toe) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Tart upgraded to a limited practice session Friday after missing the previous two days, which could bode well for his chances of taking the field Sunday. If he does have to miss more time, however, Kyle Peko will stand to once again handle an increased role.

Won't play at Indianapolis
Tart (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Tart was able to play through the knee issue he's been dealing with in Week 4, but he'll now have to sit out at least one game as he works his way back. Kyle Peko could draw a start at defensive tackle with Tart sidelined.

Cleared for Week 4
Tart (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Tart practiced in a limited capacity twice to close the week, which is enough for him to suit up in Week 4. He's played in just over half of the team's defensive snaps this season and should continue to occupy a rotational role along the defensive line.

Gets questionable tag
Tart (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.
Analysis: Tart tallied back-to-back limited practices to close the week after being a nonparticipant Wednesday. He is looking like a true game-time decision Sunday. Naquan Jones would be the prime candidate to replace him at nose tackle should he not get the go-ahead.

Will play Sunday
Tart (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Tart was considered questionable heading into the contest due to an ankle injury, but he'll ultimately suit up. The second-year defensive tackle has yet to miss a game this season, totaling 20 tackles, five pass defenses and one interception across 12 appearances.

Questionable to face Jags
Tart (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Returns from COVID list
The Titans activated Tart from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Analysis: After missing Week 17 and the wild-card matchup against the Ravens, Tart cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and will be able to rejoin his team. The defensive tackle notched five tackles (two solo) and one pass breakup though seven games in the 2020 campaign.

Lands on COVID list
Tart (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old either tested positive for the virus or is a high-risk close contact of an infected individual, so he'll be unavailable for Week 17. Larrell Murchison and Matt Dickerson are the remaining reserve defensive linemen with Tart sidelined.

Clear of suspension
The NFL lifted Tart's one-game suspension for unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Tart returns to back up DaQuan Jones at nose tackle for the stretch run, as Tennessee aims to build upon its fifth consecutive winning season. The Florida International product has recorded two QB hits, two tackles and a pass deflection over his five 2020 appearances.

Receives suspension notice
Tart has been suspended one game for violating the NFL's unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules, Michael Signora of NFL Communications reports.
Analysis: Tart will go without pay for one week after purposely stepping on an opponent during Sunday's 41-35 loss to the Browns. The 23-year-old defensive tackle has appeared in each of Tennessee's past five games, fielding an average of 21.2 defensive snaps per contest. Without Tart available Week 14 for a road trip to Jacksonville, depth along the interior will be depleted behind starting nose tackle DaQuan Jones.

Joins active roster
Tart was promoted to the Titans' active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Tart joined the Titans as a UDFA in the spring and was unable to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he'll now make his way to the active roster. The 23-year-old should provide depth at defensive tackle behind DaQuan Jones.
