The Titans released Bironas just last March 2014 after nine seasons. Bironas is married to Rachel Bradshaw, daughter of Hall of Fame quarterback and FOX Sports analyst Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw did not appear on today's FOX NFL Sunday to be with his daughter in Nashville.

Our thoughts go out to them during this tragedy.
