Tennessee Titans

Michael Carter

RB

Since the Cardinals claimed Carter off waivers from the Jets in November 2023, Carter made 22 regular-season appearances (six starts) for his new team, totaling 149 carries for 613 yards (4.1 YPC) and two touchdowns and 53 catches (on 67 targets) for 357 yards and one more TD. His role was contingent on health -- not only his own but also that of backfield mates like James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee). Considering Tennessee boasts holdover running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears and may pounce on a top RB in the 2026 NFL Draft, Carter could find touches difficult to come by without injuries affecting the aforementioned duo.

Hendon Hooker

QB

Hooker, who last saw regular-season snaps with the Lions in 2024, joins a crowded Titans QB room that currently also includes Cam Ward, Mitchell Trubisky and Will Levis. The 2023 third-rounder adds a dual-threat presence to the group, and his addition could foreshadow the team moving on from Levis down the road.

K.J. Osborn

WR

Osborn didn't see any regular-season action in 2025, but the 28-year-old did combine for 158 catches during a three-year span (2021 through 2023) while he was with the Vikings. In Tennessee, Osborn will provide depth to a wide receiver corps that currently features Calvin Ridley, Wan'Dale Robinson, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

Mohamoud Diabate

LB

Diabate spent the first three seasons of his NFL career with Cleveland. He played in all 17 games last season and made six starts, but the Browns decided not to tender him after the campaign. Diabate should provide Tennessee with depth at linebacker and could see a fair amount of defensive snaps.

Lance McCutcheon

WR

The 27-year-old wide receiver hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since making 10 appearances with the Rams in 2022. McCutcheon spent the 2025 campaign with the Steelers and Titans' practice squads.
