Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a knee injury and hopefully will be cleared to fully practice once training camp begins, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
Link to story Titans | Will Levis still in the mix for starting role? Tue Jun 10, 01:15 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis should not be 'count[ed] out' for the starting job, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport, who noted comments made by head coach Brian Callahan that there'd be a competition during minicamp and training camp.
| Footballguys view: Titans coach Brian Callahan said there will be a competition during minicamp and training camp. Both quarterbacks took turns starting in 7-on-7s and team periods during OTAs. Even so, the expectation is rookie Cam Ward, the first pick overall in April's NFL Draft, will be the Week 1 starter. Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson is already impressed with Ward's vision and ability to find the open receiver. That's an early sign of progress. But the best way to prepare Ward is to increase reps, especially with the first team. We'll be watching for that in training camp. |

Titans | Treylon Burks not ready for full practice Tue Jun 10, 12:05 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (knee) has not been cleared to participate in team drills at this point.
| Footballguys view: Burks is still recovering from an injury during the early part of OTAs, but he is doing some work on the side of practices. Injuries have plagued him throughout his career, and with Burks' original head coach and general manager no longer in Tennessee, many have theorized that he could be a trade candidate this season. Head coach Brian Callahan seemed to downplay that notion, but it's hard to imagine a scenario in which Burks is fantasy-relevant as a Titan. |
Titans | Kalel Mullings may see more work Mon Jun 9, 06:52 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Kalel Mullings (undisclosed) was been limited during voluntary workouts but may be moving closer to full participation, in the opinion of TitansWire's Mike Mihalko.
Link to story Titans | Van Jefferson impressing at OTAs Sun Jun 8, 04:02 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Van Jefferson has 'looked good' during OTAs, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com.
| Footballguys view: We would normally assume a journeyman like Jefferson has little chance to make an impact, but his main competition to start outside opposite Calvin Ridley is Tyler Lockett and two fourth round picks. Maybe the bottom line here is that Cam Ward isn't going to have the most impressive set of weapons in his rookie year. |

Titans | Xavier Restrepo shining early Sun Jun 8, 04:02 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Xavier Restrepo has shown 'great chemistry' with QB Cam Ward during OTAs, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com.
| Footballguys view: Restrepo had a breakout year when Ward came to the University of Miami last year, so it makes a lot of sense that they would have instant chemistry as Titan teammates even though he went undrafted. Fourth round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike have also drawn praise in OTAs. They'll compete for playing time with free agent additions Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson, although Restrepo is probably limited to the slot because of his lack of straight line speed. Treylon Burks is coming back from an ACL tear and might not figure into the depth chart at the open of the season. |
Titans | Cam Ward on track to be starter Sat Jun 7, 01:01 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward likely will open the 2025 regular season as the starting quarterback, in the opinion of TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Ward was selected as the no.1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he's got the skill set to be a franchise quarterback one day. Now, Ward has work to do but the tools are there. Ward has a big arm, and he can make throws from different arm angles. He also can take off to run and be a threat to flip the field as a runner. Ward has a big test in Week 1 as the Titans take on what could be the best defense in the league; the Denver Broncos. Welcome to the NFL! |
Titans | Chimere Dike under contract Fri Jun 6, 02:03 PM
Tennessee Titans fourth-round draft choice WR Chimere Dike (Florida) signed his four-year rookie contract on Friday, June 6. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Dike and fellow fourth round pick Elic Ayomanor both drew positive reviews in OTAs. Their main competition for playing time is veteran Tyler Lockett, who was signed to a one-year, $4 million deal. It wouldn't be surprising to see one or both of them play ahead of Lockett by the end of the season. Dike's speed should be a welcome addition to the wide receiver room. |
Titans | Treylon Burks progressing Thu Jun 5, 08:29 AM

Titans | Cam Ward progressing Tue Jun 3, 11:51 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has progressed already in camp, according to head coach Brian Callahan, who said he's pleased with Ward's progress. Ward has progressed in understanding throws he made in college won't necessarily be available to make in the NFL, and Callahan said he's picking up the mental part quickly.
| Footballguys view: This isn't a surprise after a report by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday indicated coaches have been impressed with Ward's work ethic. Fowler added that while Ward has been sharing snaps with QB Will Levis, the rookie will start receiving more work with the first-team offense in advance of training camp. While there's something to be said for players with locked-in roles, Ward, who opens as QB26 on the Footballguys redraft projections, has much to prove at a position with loads of quality depth. |
Titans | Cam Ward to see more work with starters Mon Jun 2, 07:41 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has been sharing snaps with QB Will Levis but will start receiving more work with the first-team offense as the offseason practices go on, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: "The Titans coaches have been really impressed with his work ethic so far." Fowler said of Ward, "They knew he was a hard worker coming in, but I was told they had to kick him out of the offices at times." It makes sense. As USA Today suggested, "Ward didn't go from zero-star recruit to the first overall pick in the NFL draft by resting on his laurels." It's encouraging. But it doesn't change the fact that Ward's fantasy value is limited in redraft formats. |

Free-agent RB Tyrion Davis-Price (Eagles) signed a two-year deal with the Tennessee Titans Monday, June 2. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: While this signing seems inconsequential on the surface, it comes shortly after head coach Brian Callahan talked about using more of an "even split" with Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and a third back in 2025. Veteran Julius Chestnut and rookie Kalel Mullings, a sixth-round pick in last month's NFL Draft, are also on the roster. Davis-Price, a 2022 third-round pick by the 49ers, will join the competition to be that third back. |

Tennessee Titans C Lloyd Cushenberry (Achilles) is 'progressing' and has shown he can anchor, according to head coach Brian Callahan via ESPN.com's Turron Davenport.
Link to story Titans | Treylon Burks takes part in some drills Wed May 28, 01:58 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks (knee) participated in individual drills during practice Wednesday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: While Burks is taking part in individual drills, he may not be cleared for team drills or contact. Still, it is a significant first step for Burks. Just a couple of weeks ago, head coach Brian Callahan said that he didn't expect Burks, who has been a disappointment during his time in Nashville, to be available until the start of the season, recovering from the torn ACL he suffered during the 2024 season. Remember, the Titans declined to pick up his fifth-year option a month ago, and Burks isn't a lock to earn a roster spot. |
Titans | JC Latham in great shape Mon May 26, 02:44 PM
Tennessee Titans OT JC Latham 'really dedicated himself to changing his body like a lot of first-year players going into their second year find ways to do' this offseason, according to head coach Brian Callahan.'He probably admittedly was heavy at the end of last season as the second half of the year wore on. He learned a lot of lessons himself about what it takes to play tackle in this league. The caliber of players you face every week, and there's no let down. ... JC (Latham) is capable of being an excellent football player and he really dedicated himself to changing his body like a lot of first-year players going into their second year find ways to do. He looks great, he's in great shape, he's moving really well. I'm excited about where he's at but all the credit goes to him and just understanding what he realized it was going to take to be the player that he wants to be and he dedicated himself to it,' Callahan recently told the team's website.

Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward's four-year contract is worth $48.7 million with the entire amount being fully guaranteed.
Link to story Titans | Cam Ward signs contract Wed May 21, 05:18 PM
Tennessee Titans first-round draft choice QB Cam Ward signed a four-year contract with the Titans Wednesday, May 21. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal does include a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Ward is participating in the team's offseason program after participating in the team's rookie minicamp earlier this month. While splitting first-team reps with Will Levis, Ward will surely be the Week 1 starter in Tennessee. The rookie is QB26 on the Footballguys Projections. |
Titans | Tony Pollard feeling good Wed May 21, 12:01 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard told reporters on Tuesday, May 20, that his recovery from the ankle sprain he suffered late last season has gone great and allowed him to prepare better this offseason.
| Footballguys view: As noted in a previous item, Pollard handled a heavy workload last year (more than 300 touches). The ankle injury sidelined him for Week 17, and HC Brian Callahan suggested on Tuesday that he'd like to see Pollard share more with Tyjae Spears and perhaps a third back. Again, Pollard is being drafted as RB26 in early best-balls, so expectations reflect the possible timeshare. |

Titans | Cam Ward, Will Levis getting equal time Tue May 20, 04:03 PM
Tennessee Titans QBs Cam Ward and Will Levis continue to split reps through the second phase of the team's offseason program.

The team is currently in Phase 2, which wraps up on Thursday. Will the team start ramping up Ward's workload then? We'll see. Either way, it's all but a foregone conclusion that Ward will be the Week 1 starter. The rookie is QB26 on the current Footballguys Projections. |

Titans | Tennessee eyeing three-man backfield committee? Tue May 20, 02:23 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard amassed 301 touches in his first season with the team in 2024, but coach Brian Callahan would like to see more of an 'even split' with Pollard, Tyjae Spears and a third back in 2025 in a 'perfect world.'
| Footballguys view: As SI.com recently noted, Pollard found success in his first season with the Titans, setting career highs in rushing attempts (260) and yards (1,079) while reaching the 300-touch mark for a second-consecutive season. He ran for over 100 yards three times and hit 100 combined yards in two other matchups. But Pollard also rushed for fewer than 50 yards in six games, and a late-season ankle issue sidelined him Week 17. To top it off, Pollard scored only five touchdowns, which was a factor in his RB22 finish. Assuming we see a more even split, Pollard might struggle to produce at the same level. He's currently being drafted as RB26 in early best-drafts with Spears going as RB42. As for that potential third back? Veteran Julius Chestnut and rookie Kalel Mullings, a sixth-round pick in last month's NFL Draft. The 6-foot, 226-pound Mullings converted from linebacker in 2022. We'll watch for more on this potential split as the season draws nearer. For now, Pollard and Spears are priced right. |

Titans | Kevin Winston Jr. expected to be ready for camp Sun May 18, 11:28 AM
Tennnessee Titans S Kevin Winston Jr. (knee) is expected to receive medical clearance in order to participate in training camp, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
| Footballguys view: The Titans selected Winston in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He's a naturally instinctive player who arrives at the ball-carrier with bad intentions. His tackling ability and diagnostic ability are NFL caliber, but he'll need to improve his coverage concepts to be a reliable pro. Winston is recovering from knee surgery to repair a partially-torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered last year with Penn State. |

Titans | Offense with Ward to Feature Quick Throws? Sat May 3, 05:10 PM
Cameron Wolfe, from NFL Network, reports the Tennessee Titans will scheme around their blocking concerns by designing plays that allow QB Cam Ward to get "the ball out of his hands quickly."
| Footballguys view: Ward is a dangerous quarterback when the play breaks down. He gets to top speed in a hurry, and he is tough to get a bead on as a runner. Defenders can't bottle him up easily when chaos ensues. Getting the ball out of his hands quickly will be good for the timing and rhythm as he gets used to the pro game. |
Titans | Treylon Burks has option declined Fri May 2, 01:41 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks had his fifth-year option declined Thursday, May 1.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. The former first-round pick has failed to play up to expectations due to health mainly. He's still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 5 last season. The room is even more full this year with veteran additions and draft picks, so there's no guarantee Burks will make the final roster in what is clearly a 'prove-it' season. |

| Footballguys view: Ayomanor has smooth speed and the ability to run good routes. His game is somewhat polished already, and he should be able to improve with pro coaching. We like his hands, concentration, and ability to box out smaller defenders. He will serve as a reserve player this year for the Titans, but the upside is there for him to be a starter (likely at X receiver) someday. |

Link to story Titans | Cam Ward has to earn starting role Tue Apr 29, 12:44 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward won't be handed the starting job, despite being the No. 1 overall pick, according to general manager Mike Borgonzi on Monday, April 28. 'Yeah, it's a great room we have right now with those four guys,' Borgonzi said about QBs Will Levis, Brandon Allen, Tim Boyle, and Ward. 'And that'll be up to Brian [Callahan] and his staff in terms of reps as we go through the offseason and get into training camp. But, we'll take it step-by-step here. And that'll be up to Brian in terms of who takes what reps at some point. So, we're not going to name any starters here, though, right now here in the offseason.'
| Footballguys view: While their public stance makes sense, all signs point to Ward taking the reins as the Titans' franchise quarterback of the future. Levis went 2-10 during his 12 starts last season, finishing with 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Realistically, given those numbers, investing the first pick overall in Ward suggests the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Ward is QB26 on the current Footballguys 2025 Projections. |
Titans | No attempt to trade Will Levis during draft Tue Apr 29, 12:33 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis wasn't shopped during the 2025 NFL Draft, general manager Mike Borgonzi said on Monday, April 28. He went on to praise Levis for raising the level of competition, stating the QB adds value to the franchise.
| Footballguys view: With the selection of Cam Ward, Tennessee now has the rookie, Levis, Brandon Allen, and Tim Boyle at quarterback on their 90-man roster. "Yeah, it's a great room we have right now with those four guys," Borgonzi said. "And that'll be up to Brian [Callahan] and his staff in terms of reps as we go through the offseason and get into training camp. But, we'll take it step-by-step here. And that'll be up to Brian in terms of who takes what reps at some point." Despite Borgonzi's comments, Ward is fully expected to be a Day 1 starter in Tennessee. Any other outcome will be a surprise. |

Titans | Tyler Lockett makes it official with Tennessee Mon Apr 28, 01:01 PM
Free-agent WR Tyler Lockett (Seahawks) officially signed a one-year contract worth a reported $4 million with the Tennessee Titans on Monday, April 28. The deal is reportedly worth up to $6 million with incentives.
| Footballguys view: Lockett joins the Titans after spending the past 10 seasons with the Seahawks, where he ranks second in team history in receptions (661), receiving yards (8,594), and receiving touchdowns (61). Lockett, who turns 33 in September, will be part of a revamped receiving corps with the Titans. Over the weekend, the Titans drafted receivers Chimere Dike (Florida) and Elic Ayomanor (Stanford) in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Back in March, the team signed veteran receiver Van Jefferson in free agency. Those players will join returners Calvin Ridley, Treylon Burks, Mason Kinsey, Bryce Oliver, Jha'Quan Jackson, Colton Dowell, James Proche II, and Tay Martin. |
