On September 5, Brewer earned a spot on the Titans' initial 53-player roster. On November 22, Brewer recorded his first start of his career when he started at left guard for the Titans against the Baltimore Ravens. He played all 70 offensive snaps in the 30–24 overtime victory. Brewer, along with the rest of the offensive line, helped Titans running back Derrick Henry rush for 133 yards, including a game-winning 33-yard touchdown.[5] Brewer was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on January 7, 2021,[6] and activated on January 18.[7] On October 8, Brewer was placed on injured reserve.[8] He was activated on November 6.[9]
Having previously played more of a reserve role or starting in relief of injuries for his first two seasons, Brewer became the full time starting left guard in the 2022 season; starting all 17 games.[10]
Entering the 2023 offseason as a restricted free agent, the Titans placed a second round tender on Brewer on March 15, 2023.[11] On May 7, the Titans announced that Brewer would be moved to center, and take over the starting role that was vacated following the release of Ben Jones.[12] He started all 17 games at center in 2023.[13]
