1 DAY AGO - Steve Roberts-USA TODAY Sports The first injury of Tennessee Titans camp Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said today that CB Chidobe Awuzie will miss a couple of weeks with a calf strain. This will be the last time I say this, but it is so refreshing to get an honest answer on a player’s injury during training camp. Mike Vrabel would not have even confirmed what type of injury Awuzie had much less how much time he would miss. Callahan also said he wants injured players to be around the practice after getting treatment each day: A significant change for what injured players will do under Brian Callahan. #Titans pic.twitter.com/8NdpuY5Psv— Paul Kuharsky (@PaulKuharskyNFL) July 25, 2024 Under Vrabel, injured guys went into the witness protection program. Once they were injured no one saw them again until they returned to the practice field. OK, enough of that. It does suck that Chido will miss a couple of weeks with the new install of the Titans’ defense, but he Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Thomas Shea-USA TODAY Sports Can Treylon Burks make an impact for the Tennessee Titans this season? It goes without saying that Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks is entering a massive training camp period. The 2022 first-round pick has come nowhere close to meeting expectations. The Titans are no longer relying on him after adding Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd earlier this offseason. Burks is no higher than WR4 on the depth chart behind Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, and Boyd. Burks has an opportunity at training camp to endear himself to Brian Callahan and Nick Holz, ensuring he maintains a role in the passing offense. General manager Ran Carthon claims he’s seen a more mature version of the player this offseason. “I think Treylon has really grown up,” Carthon said. “He sent us a picture of his new physique during the offseason. He really took to heart the conversation that he had with myself and coach Callahan. He’s completely bought in. We’ve messaged back and forth Collapse

4 DAYS AGO - Episode to feature Titans’ 2000 Super Bowl run and “unanswered questions” surrounding the murder of Steve McNair. Netflix has announced today that they have made an episode of their UNTOLD series that features the Tennessee Titans’ 2000 Super Bowl run and the unanswered questions surrounding Air McNair’s murder: UNTOLD is back with three new sports stories that go well beyond the headlines.The Murder of Air McNair (Aug 20): Capturing the Titans’ 2000 Super Bowl run and unanswered questions surrounding McNair's 2009 murder.Sign Stealer (Aug 27): Connor Stalions shares his side of… pic.twitter.com/qzkRa1JTPP— Netflix (@netflix) July 22, 2024 This is not the first time a documentary series has attempted to unearth something new in Steve McNair’s murder. Sports Illustrated put out a podcast entitled “Fall of a Titan” back in October of 2018. It was an interesting listen, but at the end of the day all it did was throw out a bunch of unsubstantiated theories on the murder. McNair Collapse

7/18/2024 - Denny Simmons / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK Confirmation that Ran Carthon had a deal to trade Derrick Henry and was overruled. Dan Pompei wrote a really good article today about Derrick Henry. There are a lot of cool details in there about Henry, how much he loves football, and the lengths he goes to in order to keep his body in shape (spending about $240,000 a year to do so!). It is going to suck watching The King play for the Baltimore Ravens this season. One of the more interesting details in the story was confirmation of a widely reported rumor from last year’s NFL trade deadline - Ran Carthon had a deal in place to send Henry to the Ravens but “others in the Titans hierarchy apparently were not on board with the deal, so Henry played out the season in Nashville.” Some people are mad about this. I applaud it! Think about it, what return were the Tennessee Titans going to get for Henry? The article says a conditional third, but I have trouble believing, in Collapse

7/16/2024 - Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Ran Carthon should be on the phone Multiple reports today are saying that Brandon Aiyuk has requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. There have been reports all offseason that he wanted a new deal. The 49ers have said they are not going to give him a new deal and are not going to trade him. Now it will be interesting to see if Aiyuk reports when the 9ers open training camp. Ran Carthon is familiar with the San Francisco front office considering he was there before the Tennessee Titans hired him away. Carthon should be on the phone with them right now. The Titans have a solid receiver room, but they need some youth. Aiyuk is just 26 years old while the Titans' top three receivers will all be 30 or older at some point during the season (DeAndre Hopkins is 32. Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd both turn 30 during the season). Add to that the fact that Hopkins and Boyd both have expiring contracts, and you can see that the Titans are far from set Collapse

7/11/2024 - Denny Simmons / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK How will Jamal Adams’ addition impact the Tennessee Titans defense? The Tennessee Titans made a splash on Thursday when they signed three-time Pro Bowler Jamal Adams to a one-year contract. General manager Ran Carthon had long been alluding to an incoming move at safety. Adams will seemingly be tasked with playing opposite Amani Hooker as the official Kevin Byard replacement (The Titans never really replaced him last season). The concerns with Adams are age and injury related. He’s suffered significant injuries in three consecutive seasons. Dating our research back to the previous four campaigns, Adams has nearly missed as many contests (33) as he’s played in (34). The former No. 6 overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft appeared in nine games for the Seattle Seahawks this past season. A known liability in coverage, Pro Football Focus credited Adams with allowing 28 receptions on 34 targets for 292 yards and two touchdowns en Collapse

7/8/2024 - Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images The Tennessee Titans have an intriguing sophomore defender on their roster in Keondre Coburn One of the more intriguing young players on the Tennessee Titans defense is nose tackle Keondre Coburn. A sixth-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2023 NFL Draft, he was surprisingly waived by the team last October. Coburn joined the Denver Broncos for about two weeks in November before they waived him as well. The Titans pounced on his availability, signing him off the Chiefs’ practice squad in December. It’s somewhat rare that the No. 194 overall selection in the then-most recent (2023) draft would play for three franchises as a rookie. It’s admittedly a red flag, but the Titans jumped at the opportunity to sign Coburn, a former Texas Longhorns standout defender. Due to injuries, Coburn featured somewhat prominently for the Titans towards the conclusion of the 2023 campaign. A big-bodied nose tackle, Coburn totaled 98 snaps for Mike Collapse

7/1/2024 - Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports New Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed commands the respect of his teammates The Tennessee Titans made a huge move when acquiring superstar cornerback L’Jarius Sneed from the Kansas City Chiefs in a trade earlier this offseason. I recently caught up Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton on behalf of Campbell’s and their new Chunky Spicy Nashville-Style Hot Chicken Soup, which is delicious by the way. I asked Bolton about Sneed, and reserved his comments for this Music City Miracles exclusive. Here’s what Bolton had to say about Sneed: “That’s my brother. He wanted to get something done [contract wise] throughout the season. It just didn’t work out that way. Tennessee swooped in and handled their business. I talked to him about it [during the Super Bowl celebration] at The White House. I talked to him on the phone after [the trade] as well. He actually has a house not too far from mine in Texas. Our parents grew up together in the same area. Collapse

6/26/2024 - Denny Simmons / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is receiving recognition from mainstream media this offseason The Tennessee Titans’ decision to sign running back Tony Pollard to a three-year, $21.7 million contract with $10.4 million in guarantees in free agency was initially met with mixed reviews. Pollard was coming off his second consecutive 1,000-yard season with the Dallas Cowboys, but it wasn’t a particularly impressive 2023 campaign. The former Memphis standout averaged a career-low 4.0 yards per carry. Furthermore, Pollard will be tasked with helping replace franchise legend Derrick Henry in the backfield. The team is going through a shift in offensive philosophy under new head coach Brian Callahan. Pollard will pair with sophomore back Tyjae Spears to form a one-two punch. Last year, I wrote a top 10 running backs list. Entering 2024, the list has expanded to 20 RBs! The top two are the same from a year ago, but after Collapse
