Tennessee Titans

Cedric Gray

LB

Gray, coming off the heels of a career year in 2025, entered the league's concussion protocol after getting into a UTV accident this past weekend. He was a DNP throughout the week, so a return to practice during Week 2 prep would indicate that Gray is progressing through the league's protocol, though he won't be able to play in games until cleared to do so by an independent neurologist. Owen Pappoe and rookie second-rounder Anthony Hill are the top candidates to start alongside Cody Barton and James Williams at linebacker in Gray's absence.

Keldric Faulk

DE

Faulk had been dealing with a shoulder injury that kept him out of practice, but his full participation in Wednesday's session puts him on track to make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday against the Jets. The rookie first-rounder figures to operate in a rotational role on the Titans' defensive line behind starters Jermaine Johnson and John Franklin-Myers.

Mitchell Trubisky

QB

Trubisky was dealing with a biceps injury over the last couple of weeks of training camp, but his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates he'll suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jets. With Will Levis no longer on the roster, Trubisky will serve as Cam Ward's backup, with Hendon Hooker on the Titans' practice squad.

Wan'Dale Robinson

WR

The Titans' big offseason addition at wideout will be good to go for his team debut Sunday, as Robinson carries no injury designation. Both Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate are off the injury report, signaling that Cam Ward will have his top weapons at his disposal as the team starts a new chapter under head coach Robert Saleh.

Carnell Tate

WR

This is a great development for Tate after he dealt with an undisclosed issue late in preseason. Tate is now on track to make his NFL debut in Week 1, when he will be a focal point of the Titans' passing game.

Milo Eifler

Cam Ward

QB

The first overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Ward started all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, completing 323 of 540 passes (59.8 percent) for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions while turning 39 carries into 159 yards and two more TDs. He also fumbled 11 times, losing seven of them. The Titans added WR Carnell Tate in the first round of this year's draft and also signed WR Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year, $70 million deal in the offseason, so Ward does have a bit more support as he enters his second pro campaign. Whether or not that helps Ward cut down on mistakes remains to be seen.

Tyjae Spears

RB

Based on preseason usage, Spears is firmly entrenched as the team's top alternative to Tony Pollard in the backfield. Spears produced 536 scrimmage yards in 2024 and 547 scrimmage yards in 2025 while filling such a role. His 838-yard rookie season in 2023 came prior to Pollard's arrival in Tennessee. Rookie fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton didn't show anything during preseason action that would indicate he's an immediate threat to Spears' role, while Julius Chestnut is likely ticketed for a role on special teams.

Tony Pollard

RB

Tennessee also kept Tyjae Spears, rookie fifth-round pick Nicholas Singleton and Julius Chestnut on the 53-man roster. The decision to roster four running backs, coupled with second-year QB Cam Ward's struggles in the preseason, could indicate a desire to implement a run-heavy approach from new OC Brian Daboll. Pollard has topped 1,000 scrimmage yards in five consecutive regular seasons, the last two of which came with the Titans, and he sits atop the RB depth chart heading into the regular season, with Spears poised to reprise his change-of-pace role.

Calvin Ridley

WR

Tennessee heads into the season with Carnell Tate (undisclosed), Wan'Dale Robinson (head), Ridley, Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor at wide receiver. Of those five players, only Robinson and Ridley have more than one year of NFL experience. Ridley was the team's No. 1 receiver in the early part of last season but finished the year with just 303 receiving yards in seven games, as he missed time due to a hamstring injury and then fractured his fibula. Having recovered from those injuries, the 31-year-old Ridley is in contention for a starting role on the outside opposite Tate, with Robinson likely to work primarily out of the slot.

Gunnar Helm

TE

Helm joined the rest of the healthy starters to kick off preseason Weeks 1 and 2, logging 26 offensive snaps between the two contests. He then was rested in Saturday's exhibition finale against the Bears along with QB Cam Ward and company. A fourth-round pick in the 2025 Draft, Helm hauled in 44 of 55 targets for 357 yards and two touchdowns in 16 regular-season games as a rookie, and he'll be looking to build upon those numbers in Year 2 under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.

Kendell Brooks

S

It's currently unclear what issue Brooks is dealing with, but he was waived/injured Sunday and subsequently cleared waivers. As such, he's been placed on season-ending IR. Brooks could still play in 2026, though, if he works out an injury settlement with the Titans.

Andre James

C

James was operating as a depth option at center for the Titans before he sustained an undisclosed injury. The offensive lineman will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on IR unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Tanoh Kpassagnon

DE

Kpassagnon is suffering from an unknown issue. The defensive end will now spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement.

Dorian Mausi

LB

Mausi is dealing with an unknown injury. The linebacker will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before he can rejoin the Titans' active roster. The second-year player out of Auburn played in all 17 regular-season games for the Titans his rookie season, logging 341 special-teams snaps and recording nine tackles (five solo).

Joshua Williams

CB

Williams was unable to play in the Titans' final two preseason games due to a pectoral injury he is still recovering from. The cornerback will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before he is permitted to rejoin the active roster. With Williams out, Micah Robinson is set to be the primary backup to Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott at outside cornerback.

Chimere Dike

WR

The speedy second-year pro opened the game with the starting offense and saw both his targets from Will Levis during the Titans' second possession. Dike had one catch in each of Tennessee's three preseason games, posting a 3-28-0 line on four targets. Dike will open the season in a reserve receiver role with big-play potential after posting a 48-423-4 line across 17 regular-season games during his rookie 2025 campaign.

Nicholas Singleton

RB

The rookie fifth-round pick led the team in rush attempts on the night and finished second behind D'Ernest Johnson and quarterback Hendon Hooker in rushing yards. Singleton was the first Tennessee back to log a touch, gaining six yards on a reception on the second play from scrimmage and subsequently netting 18 yards on three consecutive rush attempts to kick off the Titans' second drive. Singleton finished the preseason having rushed 15 times for 57 yards alongside Saturday's 2-18-0 receiving line across two games, and he'll now wait to see if those numbers were enough to garner him the No. 3 running back role.

Joey Slye

PK

Slye has been locked in this preseason. He hit all four of his field-goal attempts in the preseason opener against San Francisco, with a long of 58 yards, and Slye added another 4-for-4 performance Sunday. Slye was true from 55, 33, 40 and 43 yards against the Seahawks. The big-legged kicker is thriving in the low-pressure environment of the preseason, but Slye has had accuracy issues creep up during the past three regular seasons, converting 80 percent or fewer of his field-goal attempts in each of those campaigns.

Jaylen Harrell

Jaren Kanak

TE

Elic Ayomanor

WR

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.

Mario Goodrich III

CB

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.

Marcus Harris

CB

A sixth-round selection of the Titans in the 2025 NFL Draft, Harris appeared in 14 regular-season games (five starts) last year and logged 28 tackles (18 solo), five pass defenses and one forced fumble. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in late December but is fully healthy for training camp, where he will look to solidify a starting role in the secondary for the 2026 campaign.

Jeffery Simmons

DT

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.
