Cam Ward Cam Ward Dropped 10 pounds since last season
Fri, May 22, 2026, 11:29 AM
Ward noted Thursday that he's he's lost 10 pounds during the offseason by focusing on his diet, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.
Analysis: "I think it'll help me with durability...just being faster, getting up in the pocket, and trying to play my speed," said Ward, who Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site indicates has recovered from an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder suffered in Week 18 last season. With that in mind, coach Robert Saleh said Thursday of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, "his arm's perfectly healthy. He's slinging the ball. I mean, he's got some good velocity on it." As the coming campaign approaches, Ward will be working with a WR corps that welcomes back Calvin Ridley, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, and that was notably bolstered by the signing of free agent Wan'Dale Robinson and addition of Carnell Tate via the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 Draft. |

No lingering injury
Thu, May 21, 2026, 6:56 PM
Williams (shoulder) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during the season finale last year, but there are no lingering effects to start the offseason program. The 2024 seventh-round pick played just 79 defensive snaps over 16 gamers last year. With Arden Key with the Colts now, Williams could push for an increased role in 2026, and he should remain useful on special teams regardless. |

No limitations at practice
Thu, May 21, 2026, 6:51 PM
Hooker (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Julian Mininsohn of WKRN News 2 reports.
Analysis: Hooker missed the 2025 season finale due to an ankle injury, but it didn't linger into the offseason program. The veteran safety is locked into a starting role in 2026 after recording 81 tackles (58 solo), eight pass breakups and 1.0 sacks through 16 games last year. |

Full speed ahead
Thu, May 21, 2026, 6:48 PM
Winston (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Buck Reising of 104-5 The Zone reports.
Analysis: Winston finished his rookie season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, but he's back to full strength now. The third-round pick played 10 games (four starts) last year and finished with 34 tackles (21 solo), 1.0 sacks and two pass breakups. With Xavier Woods out the door, Winston will compete with Tony Adams for the starting free safety job. |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Not practicing at OTAs
Thu, May 21, 2026, 2:48 PM
Ridley (fibula) is not practicing at OTAs this week, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ridley suffered a season-ending broken fibula in the Titans' Week 11 loss to the Texans last November and is still working his way back. The 31-year-old has gotten by on pure volume in his three seasons since serving a season-long gambling suspension in 2022, but the Titans have added significant target competition this offseason in the form of slot man Wan'Dale Robinson and No. 4 overall pick Carnell Tate. Now on the wrong side of 30 and playing under a new coaching staff that didn't sign him, Ridley could easily finish third on the team in opportunities behind both Robinson and Tate. He's not a particularly exciting fantasy target for 2026. |

Gunnar Helm Gunnar Helm Past toe injury
Thu, May 21, 2026, 2:41 PM
Helm (toe) is participating in OTAs this week, Buck Reising of AtoZ Sports Nashville reports.
Analysis: Helm missed the Titans' regular-season finale back in January but appears to be back to full health after compiling 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets as a rookie last season. With Chig Okonkwo now with the Commanders, Helm looks poised to win the TE1 job with the Titans this summer. His main competition for playing time will come from blocking types Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson. |

Will Levis Will Levis Participating in OTAs
Thu, May 21, 2026, 2:36 PM
Levis (shoulder) is participating in OTAs this week, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Levis missed all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery last summer. With Cam Ward locked in atop the depth chart and Mitchell Trubisky signed earlier this offseason to serve as the veteran QB2, it's unclear what Levis' future looks like in Tennessee. The team could look to trade him ahead of Week 1 if he's able to produce some quality tape during the preseason. |

Cam Ward Cam Ward Deemed 100 percent healthy
Thu, May 21, 2026, 11:07 AM
Coach Robert Saleh said Thursday that Ward (shoulder) is "perfectly healthy" to begin OTAs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Ward sustained a sprained AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder in the Titans' Week 18 loss to the Jaguars last season but avoided surgery and seems to be 100 percent for the offseason program. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Ward started all 17 regular-season games as a rookie and completed 323 of 540 pass attempts (59.8 percent) for 3,169 yards (5.9 yards per attempt), 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also absorbed a league-high 55 sacks. The Titans have done quite a bit to upgrade Ward's supporting cast this offseason, first signing Wan'Dale Robinson before using the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 Draft on Carnell Tate. Tennessee also signed offensive linemen Austin Schlottmann, Cordell Volson and Austin Deculus in free agency. |

Courtney Jackson Courtney Jackson Lands with Titans
Fri, May 8, 2026, 7:42 PM
The Titans claimed Jackson off waivers from the Giants on Friday.
Analysis: Jackson spent the 2025 season on the Seahawks' practice squad before signing with the Giants in February. He'll now get another chance with the Titans. The 25-year-old had a mediocre college career and is slightly undersized at 5-foot-11, 179 pounds, making him a likely candidate for the practice squad. |

Hank Beatty Hank Beatty Lands in Tennessee
Thu, Apr 30, 2026, 6:51 PM
Beatty signed with the Titans on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The Illinois product caught 64 passes for 826 yards in 2025, ranking in the top five in the Big Ten in both categories. Now, he'll try to compete for a roster spot with the Titans. |

Tyren Montgomery Tyren Montgomery Signs with Tennessee
Thu, Apr 30, 2026, 6:47 PM
Montgomery signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The John Carroll product enjoyed a big season in 2025, recording 119 catches for 1,528 yards and 15 touchdowns. Now, he'll get his NFL chance with Tennessee. |

Picked by Titans
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 4:59 PM
The Titans selected Kanak in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 225th overall.
Analysis: Kanak spent his entire four-year collegiate career in Norman with Oklahoma, but it wasn't until his senior season that he saw the field. He didn't disappoint in 2025, compiling 44 catches for 533 yards while dropping just one pass. Kanak is severely undersized for the tight end position at just 6-foot-2, 234 pounds, but he at least makes up for that with a 4.52 40-yard dash time. It remains to be seen if he can stick at tight end in the long run, but he has plenty of special-teams work on his resume and will likely be asked to contribute on that front in Nashville this fall. |

Drafted by Titans
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 3:37 PM
The Titans selected Coogan in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 194th overall.
Analysis: Coogan (6-foot-5, 311 pounds) probably profiles as a swing interior backup for the Titans after starting at center for Indiana in 2025. Coogan started games at both guard and center for Notre Dame in the two years before that, but more as moveable depth than an entrenched starting role in either case. Players like him are normally better with technique than athletic talent, and unlike earlier short-arm centers drafted (Logan Jones and Sam Hecht), Coogan doesn't have standout tested athleticism to offset his lack of reach (31 and 1/8-inch arms). |

Selected by Titans

The Titans selected Marshall in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 184th overall.
Analysis: Marshall is a gap-splitting defensive tackle out of Baylor who is undersized (6-foot-3, 293 pounds) to the point that he might mostly play in passing-down situations. What makes Marshall interesting is his burst off the line. Though he might be light, Marshall's 4.88-second 40 is still very fast for his size. |

Bound for Tennessee
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 2:15 PM
The Titans selected Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 165th overall.
Analysis: Singleton, out of Penn State, boasts the size (6-foot, 219 pounds) and explosiveness of many of the backs going in the early rounds of the draft. However, some of the hype died down in 2025 after he managed only 4.5 yards per carry en route to 549 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 123 totes. He's an excellent receiver out of the backfield as well, amassing 102 catches for 987 yards and nine touchdowns over his four-year college career. However, Singleton struggles to find openings at the line and doesn't sport the necessary patience for things to develop. He also struggles a bit in pass blocking. Singleton has the raw talent to potentially develop into a contributor on offense, but he may be limited mostly to special teams as a rookie. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears headline the Titans' running back room, but Singleton could usurp Michael Carter for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart with a good showing in camp. |

Selected by Tennessee
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 1:12 PM
The Titans selected Carmona in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 142nd overall.
Analysis: Carmona was a starting left tackle in three of his five college seasons before transitioning to left guard in 2025, when he was named to the All-SEC Second-Team. The Arkansas product doesn't stand out for his physical traits compared to other offensive linemen in the draft, but he has the footwork and quick hands to keep up with opposing defenders, even if he's caught a step behind. Carmona gives the Titans depth on the offensive line, with Peter Skoronski and Dan Moore anchored in as the starting left guard and left tackle, respectively, for Tennessee. |

The Titans selected Hill in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 60th overall.
Analysis: Hill (6-foot-2, 238 pounds) is a very athletic linebacker out of Texas (4.51-second 40, 37-inch vertical, 125-inch broad jump), and one who put up big playmaking numbers. He posted 31.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks and three interceptions in three years, so if he can brush up on his fundamentals Hill could prove a high-upside pickup for the Titans. |

Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley Titans add competition at WR
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 10:14 AM
Ridley will face competition for targets from Carnell Tate, whom the Titans drafted fourth overall Thursday, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Ridley led the Titans with 43 receiving yards per game in 2025 but was limited to seven appearances before a fractured fibula ended his season. Tennessee subsequently signed Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and used a top-five draft choice on Tate out of Ohio State to bolster its wide receiver room. Ridley likely has the inside track on a starting role opposite Tate once the veteran wide receiver regains health, as Robinson operates primarily out of the slot. In addition to health and target competition, questionable quarterback play also clouds Ridley's fantasy outlook, as 2025 first overall pick Cam Ward ranked last among qualified passers with 5.9 yards per pass attempt during the quarterback's rookie season. |

Slide ends with Titans
Thu, Apr 23, 2026, 10:04 PM
The Titans selected Faulk in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 31st overall.
Analysis: Faulk (6-foot-6, 276 pounds) fell to Tennessee due to concerns that he's a 'tweener' who can't rush the edge sufficiently by defensive end standards yet is maybe too tall and/or light to fit at defensive tackle. The solution is simple enough: Faulk has the prototypical frame and skill set to line up in odd-man fronts, and in obvious passing situations he should be able to move inside if he proves unable to develop his edge-rushing game. Don't count out Faulk yet, though -- he's only 21 and his 4.68-second pro day 40 implies untapped developmental potential. |

The Titans selected Tate in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, fourth overall.
Analysis: Tate (6-foot-2, 192 pounds) is the first wide receiver off the board and the new hopeful WR1 for Cam Ward. Perhaps Tate was not quite as dominant as teammate Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State, but Smith is fully expected to be the best wideout in the NFL at some point in his career, so there's no shame if Tate isn't quite on that level. Tate produced 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns on just 65 targets last year and won't turn 22 until January. Although Tate's 4.53-second 40-yard dash wasn't exciting, all it really means is that Tate won't be running go routes all day in the NFL. His speed is plenty functional enough to draw targets rapidly through the intermediate, and if he can land enough punches on those routes the big plays will occur in due time. Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson are likely locked in as the target leaders for the Titans in 2026, with the likes of Calvin Ridley, Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor fighting for the scraps otherwise. |
