Spears at one point appeared at risk of falling down the depth chart entering 2026, but new head coach Robert Saleh has consistently praised the 2023 third-round pick this spring. Lazenby reports that Spears is working to improve his pass-catching this offseason and could operate more as a "1B" behind Pollard than a traditional backup. He managed just 72 carries for 283 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games in 2025, though an improved Titans offensive line could benefit both Spears and Pollard this season. Tennessee selected Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, so Spears will face additional competition in training camp.

Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site previously noted plenty of speculation that the team might use the fourth overall pick in the draft on Notre Dame running Jeremiyah Love. With Tennessee electing to take Ohio State wideout Carnell Tate instead, Pollard remains atop the depth chart and has his sights set on exceeding 1,000 rushing yards for a fifth straight campaign. The Titans still have Spears to handle passing downs and change-of-pace carries, and Singleton has a chance to factor in as a rookie, but Pollard should maintain steady volume in the final season of the three-year deal he inked with Tennessee in March of 2024.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the three-year pact — which makes Simmons the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history — amounts to a $105.8 extension with $100 million guaranteed. The 2019 first-rounder — who is bouncing back from an offseason elbow procedure — is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he recorded 67 total tackles, including 11.0 sacks, in 15 regular-season contests.

The 25-year-old from Missouri Western cleared waivers and will now miss all of the 2026 season unless he can agree to an injury settlement with the Titans. Ravenell appeared in 14 games for Tennessee last year, recording six total tackles and one forced fumble.

Titans coach Robert Saleh confirmed Wednesday that Oladejo's absence is due to injury, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. The 2025 second-round pick may still be recovering from the season-ending right leg fracture he suffered last October, though he was designated for a return to practice in mid-December. It remains to be seen whether Oladejo will be cleared for the start of training camp in July.

Coming back from last year's fibula fracture, Ridley had previously been limited to individual drills and stretching during OTAs. He still hasn't done full-team work, but that should come at the start of training camp, if not at mandatory minicamp June 16-17. The 31-year-old wideout restructured his contract in March, shortly after the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year deal. The team then drafted Carnell Tate fourth overall, completing a makeover of last year's undermanned WR room. Ridley doesn't have NFL experience working as anything other than the first or second option in a passing game, but that might be his new reality in Tennessee, assuming he even has enough left in the tank to lock down a top-three role at WR.

SIngleton suffered a Jones fracture in his foot at the Senior Bowl back in January but was deemed fully healthy ahead of the NFL Draft in April. While medically cleared, it sounds like the Titans are bringing the rookie running back along slowly and not completely unleashing him during spring practices, aiming to have him 100 percent ready for the start of training camp in July. Singleton is expected to compete for snaps and touches behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears under new OC Brian Daboll.

"I think it'll help me with durability…just being faster, getting up in the pocket, and trying to play my speed," said Ward, who Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site indicates has recovered from an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder suffered in Week 18 last season. With that in mind, coach Robert Saleh said Thursday of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, "his arm's perfectly healthy. He's slinging the ball. I mean, he's got some good velocity on it." As the coming campaign approaches, Ward will be working with a WR corps that welcomes back Calvin Ridley, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, and that was notably bolstered by the signing of free agent Wan'Dale Robinson and addition of Carnell Tate via the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 Draft.

Williams suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during the season finale last year, but there are no lingering effects to start the offseason program. The 2024 seventh-round pick played just 79 defensive snaps over 16 gamers last year. With Arden Key with the Colts now, Williams could push for an increased role in 2026, and he should remain useful on special teams regardless.

Hooker missed the 2025 season finale due to an ankle injury, but it didn't linger into the offseason program. The veteran safety is locked into a starting role in 2026 after recording 81 tackles (58 solo), eight pass breakups and 1.0 sacks through 16 games last year.

Winston finished his rookie season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, but he appears to be back to full strength now. The third-round pick played 10 games (four starts) last year and finished with 34 tackles (21 solo), 1.0 sacks and two pass breakups. With Xavier Woods out the door, Winston will compete with Tony Adams for the starting free safety job.

Helm missed the Titans' regular-season finale back in January but appears to be back to full health after compiling 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets as a rookie last season. With Chig Okonkwo now with the Commanders, Helm looks poised to win the TE1 job with the Titans this summer. His main competition for playing time will come from blocking types Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson.

Levis missed all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery last summer. With Cam Ward locked in atop the depth chart and Mitchell Trubisky signed earlier this offseason to serve as the veteran QB2, it's unclear what Levis' future looks like in Tennessee. The team could look to trade him ahead of Week 1 if he's able to produce some quality tape during the preseason.

Jackson spent the 2025 season on the Seahawks' practice squad before signing with the Giants in February. He'll now get another chance with the Titans. The 25-year-old had a mediocre college career and is slightly undersized at 5-foot-11, 179 pounds, making him a likely candidate for the practice squad.

The Illinois product caught 64 passes for 826 yards in 2025, ranking in the top five in the Big Ten in both categories. Now, he'll try to compete for a roster spot with the Titans.

The John Carroll product enjoyed a big season in 2025, recording 119 catches for 1,528 yards and 15 touchdowns. Now, he'll get his NFL chance with Tennessee.

Kanak spent his entire four-year collegiate career in Norman with Oklahoma, but it wasn't until his senior season that he saw the field. He didn't disappoint in 2025, compiling 44 catches for 533 yards while dropping just one pass. Kanak is severely undersized for the tight end position at just 6-foot-2, 234 pounds, but he at least makes up for that with a 4.52 40-yard dash time. It remains to be seen if he can stick at tight end in the long run, but he has plenty of special-teams work on his resume and will likely be asked to contribute on that front in Nashville this fall.

Coogan (6-foot-5, 311 pounds) probably profiles as a swing interior backup for the Titans after starting at center for Indiana in 2025. Coogan started games at both guard and center for Notre Dame in the two years before that, but more as moveable depth than an entrenched starting role in either case. Players like him are normally better with technique than athletic talent, and unlike earlier short-arm centers drafted (Logan Jones and Sam Hecht), Coogan doesn't have standout tested athleticism to offset his lack of reach (31 and 1/8-inch arms).

Marshall is a gap-splitting defensive tackle out of Baylor who is undersized (6-foot-3, 293 pounds) to the point that he might mostly play in passing-down situations. What makes Marshall interesting is his burst off the line. Though he might be light, Marshall's 4.88-second 40 is still very fast for his size.

Carmona was a starting left tackle in three of his five college seasons before transitioning to left guard in 2025, when he was named to the All-SEC Second-Team. The Arkansas product doesn't stand out for his physical traits compared to other offensive linemen in the draft, but he has the footwork and quick hands to keep up with opposing defenders, even if he's caught a step behind. Carmona gives the Titans depth on the offensive line, with Peter Skoronski and Dan Moore anchored in as the starting left guard and left tackle, respectively, for Tennessee.

Hill (6-foot-2, 238 pounds) is a very athletic linebacker out of Texas (4.51-second 40, 37-inch vertical, 125-inch broad jump), and one who put up big playmaking numbers. He posted 31.5 tackles for loss, 17 sacks and three interceptions in three years, so if he can brush up on his fundamentals Hill could prove a high-upside pickup for the Titans.

Faulk (6-foot-6, 276 pounds) fell to Tennessee due to concerns that he's a 'tweener' who can't rush the edge sufficiently by defensive end standards yet is maybe too tall and/or light to fit at defensive tackle. The solution is simple enough: Faulk has the prototypical frame and skill set to line up in odd-man fronts, and in obvious passing situations he should be able to move inside if he proves unable to develop his edge-rushing game. Don't count out Faulk yet, though — he's only 21 and his 4.68-second pro day 40 implies untapped developmental potential.

Tate (6-foot-2, 192 pounds) is the first wide receiver off the board and the new hopeful WR1 for Cam Ward. Perhaps Tate was not quite as dominant as teammate Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State, but Smith is fully expected to be the best wideout in the NFL at some point in his career, so there's no shame if Tate isn't quite on that level. Tate produced 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns on just 65 targets last year and won't turn 22 until January. Although Tate's 4.53-second 40-yard dash wasn't exciting, all it really means is that Tate won't be running go routes all day in the NFL. His speed is plenty functional enough to draw targets rapidly through the intermediate, and if he can land enough punches on those routes the big plays will occur in due time. Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson are likely locked in as the target leaders for the Titans in 2026, with the likes of Calvin Ridley, Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor fighting for the scraps otherwise.

The move means that Skoronski will make $19.07 million in the 2027 season, and he is eligible for an extension this offseason. The 2023 first-rounder has started in all 48 games he's played in and has not missed a game since the start of the 2024 regular season.

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.
