Suspended to start season
Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 8:46 PM
The NFL has suspended Johnson for the first six games of the regular season, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Johnson was suspended for violating the NFL's policy against performance-enhancing drugs. The cornerback is set to return for Week 7 but will likely find himself buried on the depth chart. Johnson's 2025 season was derailed by injuries, and without full availability in 2026, he may be unable to challenge Cor'Dale Flott or Alontae Taylor for a starting role. |

Injures knee Thursday
Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 6:54 PM
Harrell (knee) exited Thursday night's preseason opener against the 49ers early and did not return to the game, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Harrell suffered a knee injury during the contest. It is unclear how much time the defensive end will miss due to the issue. The 2024 seventh-rounder is primarily a special-teams player but began to see the field defensively in pass situations as a rotational rusher late in the 2025 season. If Harrell must miss time, Truman Jones may see more opportunities with the Titans' defensive line. |

Analysis: Kanak suffered a pectoral injury during Thursday's contest, and it is unclear how much time the tight end will miss. The 22-year-old was selected in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft and is competing with David Martin-Robinson, Kylen Granson and Joel Wilson for a spot on the Titans' 53-man roster. |

Carnell Tate Carnell Tate Blanked on three targets
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 11:18 PM
Tate didn't come up with any of his three targets in the Titans' 19-13 preseason win over the 49ers on Thursday.
Analysis: The rookie fourth overall pick was on the field for the Titans' opening possession and saw his first target near the goal line on second down. Tate's two other opportunities came during Tennessee's third drive, but he ultimately finished his night without making any impact on the stat sheet despite working with starting quarterback Cam Ward during his time in the game. Despite the quiet debut, Tate naturally remains ticketed for a major role in his 2026 rookie campaign and will look to build some momentum during Tennessee's second preseason game against the Seahawks at home on Sunday, Aug. 23. |

Tony Pollard Tony Pollard Scores TD in preseason opener
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 11:13 PM
Pollard rushed four times for 22 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted in the Titans' 19-13 preseason win over the 49ers on Thursday.
Analysis: The veteran running back took the field with the rest of the Titans' starters on Tennessee's opening possession and wasted no time making an impact, quickly bursting up the middle for a 12-yard run on his team's first play from scrimmage. Pollard went on cap the drive off with a five-yard touchdown run, capping off his abbreviated night in impressive fashion. Pollard is looking to maintain a firm hold on the No. 1 running back role over Tyjae Spears in what is expected to be an improved Tennessee offense, and Thursday's showing certainly got him off to a strong start in that regard. |

Tony Pollard Tony Pollard Looking to remain top option in TEN
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 8:05 PM
Pollard found paydirt at the Titans' joint practice with the 49ers on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official website reports.
Analysis: Pollard was able to reel in a touchdown through the air from Cam Ward during the team's red zone period against San Francisco. The running back is set to face some added competition in the backfield this season after Tennessee selected Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of this year's draft, while Tyjae Spears (undisclosed) is looking to put together his first healthy campaign since his rookie year in 2023. Pollard has been a bit of an iron man in his NFL career, missing just a handful of regular-season contests over the last five years, but the 29-year-old has seen his receiving production drop in each of the last three years, and he could find himself on the sidelines more often in passing situations this season. |

Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 2:43 PM
Ward and other starters are scheduled to play in Thursday's preseason opener against San Francisco, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: The combination of a young QB and a new coaching staff could lead to more playing time than usual this preseason. Still, there's no guarantee of Ward playing more than a series or two Thursday night. |

Carnell Tate Carnell Tate Strong practice Sunday
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 1:18 PM
Tate was a standout in team drills during Sunday's training camp practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Tate's explosiveness stood out during red zone and plus-territory team drills in Sunday's practice. He beat out Alontae Taylor and CorDalle Flott for touchdowns in separate reps, with Tate demonstrating a strong connection with second-year quarterback Cam Ward. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, Tate looks to see plenty of offensive snaps in his rookie campaign alongside veteran wideouts Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley. |

Kalel Mullings Kalel Mullings Nursing hip injury
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 9:08 PM
Titans head coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Mullings is dealing with a hip pointer injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mullins went to the locker room toward the tail end of Friday's training camp practice. He'll have his injury closely monitored over the next few days, and it's unclear whether his hip issue will prevent him from playing in Thursday's preseason opener against San Francisco. Any and all reps in training camp and exhibition contests are crucial for Mullings, who is competing against Michael Carter and Julius Chestnut for a depth spot on the Titans' 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season. |

Tyjae Spears Tyjae Spears Exits practice early Friday
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 9:05 PM
Spears is dealing with some soreness and irritation, which caused him to depart practice early Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: There's no indication Spears is dealing with anything serious, but he may be held out of practice until his current soreness subsides. The 25-year-old is expected to serve as Tennessee's No. 2 RB this season, and the could be more of a "1B" to starter Tony Pollard than a pure backup. Spears has 1,048 regular-season rushing yards and 873 receiving yards through three NFL campaigns, so he has the potential to make an impact in fantasy as a dual-threat asset. |

Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 6:38 PM
Ayomanor (shoulder) is practicing Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Ayomanor exited Thursday's practice early due to an issue with his left shoulder, but he apparently dodged a serious injury. The second-year wideout is competing for slotting in Tennessee's wideout pecking order, so it's important that he didn't have to miss much time. |

Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 12:23 PM
Ayomanor (shoulder) exited Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Analysis: Goodrich has spent time with the Giants, Broncos and Jets since joining the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2022. The cornerback also spent some time playing for the Birmingham Stallions in the UFL, but he is ready to take another crack at NFL football. Goodrich has played in four NFL regular-season games, all in 2023, when he totaled five tackles (three solo) over 67 defensive snaps and 40 special-teams snaps. |

Simmons (elbow) is participating at the Titans' training camp, George Walker of the Kingsport Times News reports.
Analysis: Simmons underwent surgery during the offseason to address an issue with his elbow, but it doesn't seem to be limiting him now that training camp has started up. He's coming off his first All-Pro season and figures to play a massive role on Tennessee's defensive line in 2026. |

Thu, Jul 30, 2026, 6:14 PM
Tennessee took Latham (undisclosed) off its active/PUP list Thursday, Buck Reising of WGFX-FM reports.
Analysis: Per Reising, Latham is still limited at training camp for now, but it's a step in the right direction as the start of the regular season approaches. As long as he's available, he figures to again start at right tackle for the Titans in 2026. |

Analysis: Oladejo missed OTAs due to a hamstring issue. The 2025 second-round draft pick played in just six games last season before succumbing to leg injuries. The young defensive end is ready to prove he can fit anywhere on the defense and should serve as a solid depth option for the Titans in 2026. |

Thu, Jul 30, 2026, 12:09 PM
Trusbisky (tightness) returned to practice Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
