Cedric Gray's Pursuit of Elite Status in Year Three

Tennessee Titans linebacker Cedric Gray is entering his third professional season with the goal of becoming an elite, all-around player. Following a highly productive second year where he recorded 160 tackles, Gray is now adapting to a new 4-3 defensive scheme and a fresh coaching staff led by Robert Saleh. He is currently prioritizing improved footwork and a deeper mastery of defensive concepts to increase his reaction speed on the field. Beyond Gray’s individual progression, the team is finalizing its 2026 preseason schedule and integrating several new staff members and scouting assistants. Additional updates highlight the durability of Tony Pollard, the consistency of Peter Skoronski, and a posthumous honor for former coach Dave McGinnis.
