The Titans selected Ohio State WR Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tate showcased elite hands in 2025, finishing with zero drops and leading the class in contested-catch success: 12 catches among 14 targets. Tate finished his junior season with 51 catches for 875 yards and 9 TDs, limited by the presence of All-American teammate Jeremiah Smith. Still, 2025 was a clear success. Tate averaged 3.02 yards per route run and 17.2 yards per catch, showing the ability to stretch coverage vertically. Tate didn’t run well at the Combine (4.53-second 40-yard dash, 1.61-second 10-yard split), but his tape shows plenty of play speed.

Titans HC Robert Saleh briefly updated the status of QB Cam Ward. "I am not going to put a timetable on anything, but he is progressing really well." Ward avoided surgery for a Week 18 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder.

WR Wan'Dale Robinson signed a 4-year, $70m deal with the Titans. He will join OC Brian Daboll. Daboll was the HC of the Giants, drafting Robinson in 2022. Expect Robinson to be utilized in a similar role to Daboll's system on the Giants with heavy volume out of the slot. With the lack of WR depth on the Titans, Robinson sits as the early favorite to lead the team in targets.

Former Giants HC Brian Daboll is set to become the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Daboll found success as the Bills’ OC from 2018 to 2021 before joining the Giants. His development of Josh Allen made him an ideal OC hire. He will coach second-year QB Cam Ward and attempt to develop him into a franchise quarterback.

The Titans have chosen 49ers DC Robert Saleh to become the next head coach, according to multiple reports. Saleh's 2025 in San Francisco followed 3+ seasons as the head man for the Jets. He went 20-36 over that span, topping out at 7-10 in both 2022 and 2023. New York dumped him after five games in 2024. Before that, Saleh coordinated the San Francisco defense for another four years, beginning with Kyle Shanahan's first year at the helm (2017).

Titans QB Cam Ward suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ward won't need surgery and will be "perfectly fine" for the offseason, Rapoport adds. Ward struggled through much of his rookie season on a bad Tennessee offense. But he flashed late in the year, tossing two TDs in each of his final four healthy games. Ward is a hold in dynasty formats and could be an intriguing late-round QB target in 2026 fantasy drafts. We'll see who the Titans tab to run the offense going forward -- and what the team adds to the pass-catching corps.

Titans QB Cam Ward suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars and is questionable to return. He's been replaced by QB Brandon Allen. We'll update Ward's status when we know more. He's had a promising finish to his rookie season and could be an intriguing QB2 target in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Update: Ward has been ruled out.

Titans WR Chimere Dike went 5-44-1 on 7 targets against a stout Seattle Seahawks defense. Dike also returned a punt 90 yards for a TD in the game, accounting for over half of the Titans’ points in the game. QB Cam Ward did have one of his best games of the season as well, going 28/42 for 256 yards and a TD. He also led the team in rushing going 6-37-1.

Titans WR Chimere Dike crashed back to earth in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers. The rookie caught only 1 of 3 targets for 5 yards.

The Titans fired HC Brian Callahan. He finishes his tenure with a 4-19 record. This year’s Titans are sitting at 1-5 with a league-worst -78 point differential. Tennessee's offense ranks:

• 31st in points per game
• 32nd in yards per game
• 31st in EPA per play

Callahan isn’t completely to blame, of course. The offensive line has struggled, the pass-catching corps is underwhelming, and QB Cam Ward has played like a rookie. We’ll see who the Titans tab as interim HC, but OC Nick Holz and QBs coach Bo Hardegree figure to be in charge of the offense. Hardegree has called plays the last three weeks, leading the team to 32 total points. The offense can’t get much worse post-Callahan, but we’re not counting on it getting significantly better any time soon.

There was some optimism ahead of Tennessee's Week 4 game in Houston as the Titans felt like they had a good shot at securing their first win against the 0-3 Texans. But another anemic performance by Tennessee's 31st-ranked offense resulted in a 26-0 defeat to drop the Titans to 0-4.

Tennessee mustered only 175 yards of offense and failed to run a single play in the red zone despite trailing the game by only six points in the fourth quarter.
