After an ugly 23-10 Week 1 loss to the New York Jets, some Titans fans are bringing up the Carolina Panthers’ decision to bench Bryce Young in 2024. But how closely does that situation actually compare? Austin Stanley and JT Ruhnke tackle the question LIVE on A to Z Sports Nashville, starting with a clip from Buck Reising’s Primetime show about Young’s benching and what it might mean for Ward. Carolina benched Young after the first two games of his second NFL season, with veteran Andy Dalton taking over. Young had already made 18 NFL starts by then. He eventually returned to the lineup after Dalton injured his thumb and went on to show improvement. That full sequence matters when Titans fans argue that a benching could be the answer for Ward. Austin and JT discuss what would actually have to happen for them to want Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll to sit Ward this season. Is there a point where a break would help his development? Would it take a prolonged stretch of poor decisions, trouble staying healthy or an offense that cannot function? And what would Tennessee need to see from the rest of the offense before deciding its quarterback is the problem? Ward’s Week 1 performance deserves scrutiny. The Titans also have to examine their protection, playmaking, game plan and the way the entire team performed against New York. A quarterback change would be one of the biggest decisions of Tennessee’s season, so what evidence would justify it? We’ll also move beyond the Cam Ward conversation to the Jets loss storylines that have received less attention. Which problem deserves more criticism: the Titans’ defensive backs, special teams or Tyjae Spears? JT and Austin make their cases and take your answers in the chat. Join the LIVE discussion: 🏈 Under what circumstances would you bench Cam Ward this season? 🏈 What are Titans fans leaving out of the Bryce Young comparison? 🏈 Which overlooked problem from the Jets game worries you most? 🏈 What does Ward need to show against the Philadelphia Eagles?

Easton Freeze and JT Ruhnke break down the Titans’ Week 1 offensive performance on today’s LIVE A to Z Sports Nashville morning show. Tennessee lost its season opener 23-10, leaving Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll with urgent questions as the Titans prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. The scoreboard showed an ugly afternoon. The film review is about understanding why it happened—and separating problems with protection from problems with quarterback execution. We begin with Tennessee’s offensive line, using the PFF grades shared by Titans reporter John Glennon alongside Easton’s film observations. How well did the line actually protect Cam Ward? Where did individual breakdowns hurt the offense? Did Ward have opportunities to stay in the pocket and deliver the football, or did the protection leave him without good answers? Those distinctions matter when evaluating an offense that struggled to sustain drives and did not score its only touchdown until late in the fourth quarter. Next, Easton and JT examine Cam Ward’s NFL Next Gen Stats passing chart and discuss the biggest improvement Tennessee needs from its second-year quarterback. Should Ward’s first priority be staying in the pocket instead of bailing out early? Does he need to improve his accuracy on short throws that should keep possessions moving? Were downfield opportunities lost because his passes were not catchable? Or is failing to identify open receivers the most concerning issue? The conversation is not about excusing the offensive line or putting every failed possession on the quarterback. It is about identifying which problems belong to Ward, which belong to the players around him and how Tennessee’s coaching staff can help the offense function more consistently. With Philadelphia coming to Nashville, the Titans cannot afford another afternoon of stalled drives and missed opportunities. Which correction could make the biggest immediate difference? Finally, we revisit the part of Tennessee’s loss that still bothers us two days later. The Titans preached physicality, aggression and nastiness throughout training camp. Easton explains why he did not see that promised edge on the game film against the Jets. Beyond the assignments and statistics, did Tennessee play with the identity it spent the summer describing? Join the LIVE discussion: What is the biggest thing Cam Ward needs to improve immediately? How much blame belongs to the Titans’ offensive line? What still bothers you most about the Jets loss? Where was the nastiness Tennessee promised during training camp?

The Tennessee Titans promised a new era under Robert Saleh. Their first regular-season game looked painfully familiar.

Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze are LIVE to rank the THREE worst things about the performance and determine which problems demand Saleh’s attention first. Was it the defensive line? Tennessee built its roster around Jeffery Simmons, John Franklin-Myers, Jermaine Johnson and a front expected to stop the run and pressure quarterbacks. Instead, Breece Hall rushed for 102 yards, Geno Smith completed 19 of 24 passes, and the Titans struggled to control the line of scrimmage. Was it Cam Ward and the offense? Ward finished with 140 passing yards and a late touchdown to Elic Ayomanor, while Brian Daboll’s offense had difficulty sustaining drives. Austin and Easton separate Ward’s decisions from the offensive line’s performance, the receivers’ opportunities and the game plan around Tennessee’s second-year quarterback. Or was the most troubling part bigger than any position group? The Titans’ secondary, coaching decisions and overall energy are all on the table as Austin and Easton compare their top-three lists. Easton also revisits his preseason crystal-ball prediction in light of what happened against New York. Then Austin and Easton react to Saleh’s response to the boos at Nissan Stadium, his message to the locker room and fans, and the postgame question posed to Jeffery Simmons. How much can Tennessee fix before the Philadelphia Eagles come to Nashville in Week 2? And which Week 1 problem would worry you most if it continued all season?

Austin Stanley, Easton Freeze and JT Ruhnke debate the unusually high stakes surrounding the Titans’ 2026 NFL season opener—and they do not agree. Austin and JT believe Tennessee must defeat New York. Easton rejects the idea that any opening-week game can qualify as a true must-win. But the answer depends upon who would actually feel the consequences of a Titans loss. A defeat would not threaten Robert Saleh’s job security, change Cam Ward’s future as Tennessee’s franchise quarterback or place the new Titans coaching staff in immediate danger. The roster would not be dismantled because of one result, and the season would not mathematically end after Week 1. The pressure surrounding the game extends beyond those traditional football consequences. The Titans have spent recent seasons near the bottom of the NFL standings. Another disappointing opening result against a beatable opponent would affect the portion of the fan base desperate for evidence of progress, the franchise’s business operation, local interest surrounding the team and the broader Nashville ecosystem that benefits when the Titans are competitive. Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk also needs to see her franchise begin moving in the right direction following major organizational changes. Then there is Saleh’s personal motivation. The Titans head coach faces the franchise that fired him during the 2024 season. Several Tennessee players also have connections to New York, creating an obvious revenge-game storyline entering Week 1. Titans defensive lineman Jacob Martin discussed the importance of using revenge as motivation. Cam Ward acknowledged that Tennessee’s players want to defeat the Jets for their head coach. Former Jets defensive lineman Solomon Thomas also provided revealing insight into the deteriorating relationship between Saleh and New York before the coach was dismissed. Saleh will publicly treat Sunday like another NFL game, but can Tennessee’s players use that emotion without allowing it to become a distraction? Austin, Easton and JT discuss: 🏈 Is Titans-Jets truly a must-win game? 🏈 What does “must-win” actually mean in Week 1? 🏈 Who has the most riding on Tennessee’s performance? 🏈 How personally important is the game to Robert Saleh? 🏈 Would a loss change expectations for the Titans’ season? 🏈 Which non-Titans matchup is the most compelling game of NFL Week 1?

BTA Sports, Better for Bettors:​​ https://go.btasports.io/Tzu1/AtoZ The Nashville Water Taxi from Pontoon Saloon - Sailgate & take the boat to the game: https://thenashvillewatertaxi.com/ The Titans enter the new season attempting to escape the bottom of the NFL standings and establish a sustainable foundation around second-year quarterback Cam Ward. Tennessee made significant changes to its coaching staff and roster, but questions remain about whether those changes can immediately produce more victories. Before revealing their final records, Austin, Easton and JT establish their individual standards for success. Does Tennessee simply need to improve upon last season? Would seven wins represent meaningful progress? Does Ward’s development matter more than the final record? Could the Titans have a successful season without entering the AFC playoff race? The answers depend upon how each host balances team results with the development of Tennessee’s young core. Then, all three hosts put their official 2026 Titans records on the board. They identify the most important swing games, explain where the victories will come from and determine how much room Tennessee has for unexpected losses. The Titans open their season against the New York Jets in a matchup carrying additional significance for Saleh and several former Jets players now in Tennessee. Can the Titans establish early momentum, or will a difficult result immediately place pressure on a young roster? Austin, Easton and JT also look into the Titans crystal ball and predict one storyline that will define the entire season. The storyline predictions can involve Ward’s development, Saleh’s defense, Brian Daboll’s offense, Tennessee’s rookie class, an unexpected breakout player, a potential disappointment or a development nobody else sees coming. This show completes A to Z Sports’ two-part Titans season prediction package. After projecting Ward’s statistics and Tennessee’s individual award winners, the crew now places the team’s final record and defining season narratives on the record.

The numbers are only part of the evaluation. How much must Ward improve for his season to qualify as a success? Does Tennessee need to win a certain number of games? Must Ward significantly reduce his mistakes, elevate the players around him or establish himself as the Titans’ unquestioned long-term franchise quarterback? Austin, Easton and JT each define a successful season for Ward before putting their final statistical projections on the record. The Titans’ offensive skill players also face major expectations. Will Tennessee produce a 1,000-yard receiver, a 1,000-yard rusher, both—or neither? That question will depend upon the development of Ward and the overall functionality of Tennessee’s offense. The Titans need reliable production from their receiving corps, consistency from their rushing attack and substantially better play from the offensive line. Austin, Easton and JT debate which 1,000-yard outcome is most realistic and which player has the best opportunity to reach the milestone. The defense presents another major prediction: How many Titans will record at least 7.5 sacks? Tennessee needs more consistent pressure from its defensive front and edge rushers. The crew examines whether the Titans possess multiple legitimate sack threats or remain too dependent upon a small number of proven defensive playmakers.

Tennessee Titans linebacker Cedric Gray is in the NFL concussion protocol after being involved in a UTV accident over Labor Day weekend, creating an unexpected concern before the Week 1 season opener against the New York Jets. Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze react to the news and examine how Tennessee could replace Gray if he is unable to clear concussion protocol in time to play.

The team has not declared him out against New York, and his availability will be determined through the NFL’s concussion evaluation and return-to-participation process. Austin and Easton discuss the timing of the accident, the immediate concern for Gray’s health and the football questions it creates as Tennessee begins preparation for the regular season. A UTV is a utility task vehicle, generally designed with side-by-side seating, a steering wheel and a roll-cage-style structure. It differs from the straddle-seat, handlebar-controlled design commonly associated with an ATV. The distinction provides context for the Titans’ statement but does not establish how the accident occurred or how serious it was. From a football perspective, Gray’s potential absence would immediately test Tennessee’s young linebacker depth. The two primary candidates discussed during the show are Anthony Hill Jr. and James Williams Sr. Hill is a young linebacker with athletic upside who could receive an immediate opportunity in Robert Saleh’s defense. How prepared is he to handle a larger role in his first regular-season game, and would Tennessee simplify any of his responsibilities? Williams offers a different profile. The former college safety brings length, movement ability and coverage potential to the linebacker position. His skill set appears naturally suited for Saleh’s defense, but he still must establish that his development can translate into a consistent regular-season role. Austin and Easton compare Hill and Williams before determining which player provides the better option against the Jets. The answer may depend upon personnel packages, early-down responsibilities, passing situations and how frequently Tennessee operates from its base defense. Could the Titans divide Gray’s responsibilities rather than choose one direct replacement? Would Cody Barton and Tennessee’s other linebackers absorb additional work? Could Saleh use an extra defensive back to compensate in certain situations? The Week 1 matchup creates an immediate test for a Titans defense that spent the offseason incorporating young players into significant roles. Tennessee needs to prepare for New York without knowing whether Gray will clear the required steps before kickoff. Join the LIVE conversation: 🏈 What was your reaction to the Cedric Gray news? 🏈 Should Gray play if he clears concussion protocol? 🏈 Who should replace him if he cannot play? 🏈 Do you trust Anthony Hill Jr. or James Williams Sr. more? 🏈 How should Robert Saleh adjust the defense? The priority remains Gray’s health. Any prediction about his Week 1 availability is secondary to the independent medical process.

Levis spent the entire offseason and training camp inside Tennessee’s new offense under head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. He participated in meetings, learned the terminology, practiced against the Titans defense and watched Cam Ward develop within the system. How valuable could that knowledge be to the Jets? Austin and Easton identify the information Tennessee should be most concerned about Levis potentially sharing, including offensive terminology, protection calls, personnel tendencies, quarterback checks, practice habits and the strengths or weaknesses of individual Titans players. There are important limits to the concern. NFL teams regularly change signals and calls, and knowing a system does not guarantee an opponent can stop it. The Titans also understand the possibility that former players could share information after leaving the organization. Levis working out for New York does not guarantee that the Jets will sign him. It also does not prove they invited him specifically to gather information about Tennessee. However, the timing creates a fascinating Week 1 storyline after the Titans released their former second-round pick. What could Levis tell the Jets that would create the greatest concern for Cam Ward, Brian Daboll and the Titans offense? The show then examines national expectations for Tennessee. Where do the Titans rank among the NFL teams most commonly predicted to finish with the league’s worst record? Austin and Easton discuss whether Tennessee’s young roster, difficult questions and dependence on Ward justify the pessimism—or whether the Titans are being underestimated entering Saleh’s first season. The final segment ranks the most entertaining football controversies and offseason stories, including: 🏈 The Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel reporting controversy 🏈 The Matt Miller story 🏈 Crissy Froyd 🏈 Brendan Sorsby 🏈 Kyle Shanahan’s accidental comments 🏈 Jed York 🏈 Lane Kiffin versus the football world 🏈 North Carolina, Mike Lombardi and Steve Belichick 🏈 The Titans media credential controversy 🏈 DaeJon Love Which story produced the most entertaining football drama of the offseason?

Austin Stanley and JT Ruhnke apply Saleh’s comments to the Titans’ first two-deep depth chart on today’s LIVE A to Z Sports Nashville morning show. Our working evaluation of Tennessee’s 42-player offensive and defensive two-deep identifies 18 players entering their third NFL season or younger and 17 established veterans. Seven additional players fall somewhere between those groups because of experience, opportunity, injuries or limited proven production. That creates an almost perfectly divided Titans roster. Is that the healthy balance Tennessee needs under Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi—or does the depth chart contain too many players who still must prove they belong in major NFL roles? The young group represents much of Tennessee’s potential upside. Cam Ward enters his second season as the franchise quarterback. Rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate carries enormous expectations after being selected fourth overall. JC Latham, Fernando Carmona and other young players are being trusted with important roles around Ward. The Titans also need their proven veterans to establish the team’s floor. Jeffery Simmons anchors the defense, while experienced additions and returning starters are expected to provide stability as Tennessee develops its younger core. Austin and JT debate three possible interpretations of the roster: 🏈 The Titans are too reliant upon young players 🏈 Tennessee has too many dependable but lower-ceiling veterans 🏈 Mike Borgonzi created the right combination of experience and upside The seven “tweeners” complicate the discussion. Players such as Austin Schlottmann, Cordale Flott and Tyjae Spears have NFL experience, but their exact placement between proven veteran and developing player remains debatable. Several recent waiver additions also must establish their roles in Tennessee. The categories used during this show are our own working evaluation—not official Titans designations. The purpose is to determine where Tennessee’s roster contains reliable production, where it contains untapped upside and which players remain difficult to classify. Austin and JT also identify the most reliable player among Tennessee’s 18 young contributors. Should reliability be based on previous NFL production, training camp performance, positional importance or confidence that the player will execute his assignment every week? And which young Titan is prepared to become a foundational player during the 2026 season?

The Tennessee Titans have created a major media controversy immediately before the 2026 NFL regular season by revoking Nashville radio host Jared Stillman’s media credential.

Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze react to the Titans’ decision on today’s LIVE A to Z Sports Nashville morning show. They examine what revoking a credential actually accomplishes, what the organization could have done instead and why the timing has divided Titans fans and members of the Nashville media community. This conversation is not about whether every opinion, report or radio segment involving the Titans deserves agreement. It is about how a professional sports organization should respond when it believes a credentialed media member has crossed a line. A media credential provides access to team facilities, practices, press conferences and other working environments. It does not guarantee freedom from professional standards or consequences. However, removing that access can also create questions about consistency, precedent and whether an organization is responding to conduct—or attempting to control criticism. Austin and Easton discuss the distinction between accountability and retaliation while evaluating the practical effect of Tennessee’s decision. What behavior prompted the Titans to act? Were other disciplinary options available? Could the organization have held a private meeting, issued a formal warning, restricted specific access or established clearer expectations before taking the most dramatic step? The show also explores who likely possessed the authority to make the final call. Was this primarily a communications decision? Did Titans ownership, football leadership or another part of the organization need to approve it? Austin and Easton will separate what is confirmed from what remains their informed speculation. A to Z Sports operates in multiple NFL markets, giving the hosts experience with provocative radio personalities, critical reporters and media members who generate conflict around professional teams.

The Tennessee Titans waived Xavier Restrepo one day after the popular receiver made their initial 53-man roster—but the move may not substantially change how Tennessee views his role in 2026. Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze explain why Restrepo became a roster chess piece, what must happen before he can join the Titans’ practice squad and why making the initial 53 still mattered.

The former Miami Hurricanes receiver answered questions about his size, speed and special teams value while establishing himself as the most natural backup to Wan’Dale Robinson in Brian Daboll’s offense. Tennessee initially kept six wide receivers, choosing Restrepo over Bryce Oliver. The Titans then needed roster flexibility to complete another wave of transactions, placing Restrepo on waivers and exposing him to the NFL’s other teams. If Restrepo clears waivers, he is expected to become a leading candidate for Tennessee’s practice squad. From there, he could remain the receiver the Titans elevate or sign to the active roster if Robinson misses time. That possibility does not make Monday’s transaction meaningless. Another team can claim Restrepo and add him to its active roster. Austin and Easton discuss the risk Tennessee accepted, why Restrepo was considered a safer player to waive than other options and whether fans should feel differently about his achievement. The initial 53-man roster is not the final version of an NFL team. General manager Mike Borgonzi and head coach Robert Saleh must account for waiver claims, injured reserve designations, new additions and practice squad construction. Austin and Easton react to the complete round of Titans transactions and identify which move beyond Restrepo deserves the most attention. The show also examines Tennessee’s developing practice squad. Which young player has the best chance to become a future contributor? Which preseason standout should Titans fans continue tracking? And which player possesses the most valuable long-term stock? Join the LIVE conversation: 🏈 Did the Titans make the right decision by waiving Restrepo? 🏈 Will Restrepo clear waivers and return? 🏈 What did making the initial 53 actually accomplish? 🏈 Which Monday roster move mattered most? 🏈 Which practice squad player has the greatest future in Tennessee?

Xavier Restrepo earned a spot on the Tennessee Titans’ initial 53-man roster—but does Tennessee still have a glaring weakness that must be addressed before Week 1? Easton Freeze and JT Ruhnke react to the Titans’ first roster under head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi on today’s LIVE A to Z Sports Nashville morning show.

The former Miami Hurricanes receiver entered the offseason facing questions about his size, speed and special teams value, but he continued making plays and improving throughout training camp. The Titans ultimately kept Restrepo over Bryce Oliver as their sixth wide receiver. Restrepo now projects as the direct backup to Wan’Dale Robinson in Brian Daboll’s offense, but what kind of impact can he realistically make during the 2026 season? Could Restrepo earn an offensive role immediately? Will his opportunities primarily come on special teams? Or will he remain inactive on game days unless Tennessee needs him to replace Robinson in the slot? Easton and JT examine what Restrepo meant when he discussed delivering “when it counts” and whether his preseason development can translate into meaningful regular-season production. The Titans also released Will Levis, officially ending the former second-round quarterback’s turbulent tenure in Tennessee. Levis produced several memorable performances but never developed into the franchise quarterback the Titans hoped he would become. Where does Levis go next? Easton and JT discuss which NFL situations could offer Levis a fresh start, whether he belongs on an active roster or practice squad and what type of coaching environment could help him rebuild his career. The show then evaluates the complete Titans roster and identifies Tennessee’s biggest remaining concern. The initial 53 includes Cam Ward at quarterback, Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears at running back, Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson at receiver, and a rebuilt defense led by Jeffery Simmons. However, the roster remains subject to change as Tennessee evaluates players released by other NFL teams. Could the Titans add another offensive tackle? Does the secondary have enough proven depth? Which position becomes the greatest concern if an established starter suffers an injury?

Did the Tennessee Titans win their joint practice against the Chicago Bears—or does one shared highlight tell a different story? Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze watched the session in person. Now they’re breaking down the Bears double-pass video, the plays circulating after practice and why their overall evaluation favored Tennessee on both sides of the ball.

On today’s LIVE A to Z Sports Nashville morning show, Austin and Easton discuss how much weight Titans fans should place on “winning” joint practice—and what actually matters when evaluating Cam Ward, Caleb Williams and their respective teams. Carnell Tate was Tennessee’s offensive standout in Thursday’s session. Easton charted seven catches on 12 targets with two touchdowns, as Tate repeatedly connected with Ward after a relatively quiet stretch of training camp. His production included contested plays, scramble-drill connections and consistent involvement throughout the day. Ward’s performance was not perfect. He missed high on several early throws and threw an interception before settling in and delivering a stronger finish. Austin and Easton explain why those mistakes belong in the evaluation alongside the explosive completions. Tony Pollard produced a deep reception and a long run, Gunner Helm made an impressive one-handed sideline catch, and Chimere Dike caught a touchdown with the first-team offense after Wan’Dale Robinson left practice. Robinson was being evaluated for a concussion at the time of Thursday’s post-practice report following a hit from Bears safety Xavier Woods. Today’s discussion includes Robert Saleh’s comments about that hit, along with the Tony Adams hit from the joint session. On the other field, Caleb Williams and Chicago’s offense started strongly before Tennessee’s defense settled in. Austin observed increasing pressure, improved run defense and a Tony Adams end-zone interception during the Bears’ two-minute work. The Bears also dealt with defensive-back absences during practice, an important part of the context when assessing Tennessee’s offensive success. Austin and Easton explain why they still gave the Titans the overall edge across the full session. The show then turns to Cam Ward’s own words. Ward discusses joint practices versus preseason games and offers insight into his mechanics. Austin explains why he believes the Titans quarterback is becoming more transparent at the podium—and what fans can learn when Ward discusses his performance in greater detail.

With the Chicago Bears joint practice and preseason finale serving as the final evaluation opportunities, which Titans players have the most to prove—and which position groups remain the hardest to predict? Easton shares the reasoning behind his latest Titans roster projection with Austin Stanley, including the difficult choices about who stays, who goes and how Tennessee distributes its final spots across the roster. Head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi must weigh more than preseason statistics. Depth, positional flexibility and special teams value all enter the discussion as the Titans shape their roster for the 2026 NFL season.

Can an NFL joint practice help predict how successful a team will be during the regular season? The Tennessee Titans host the Chicago Bears for their third and final joint practice of 2026 on Thursday, and new NFL data gives the practice surprisingly significant stakes. A to Z’s NFL Daily Games: 5 Titans themed daily trivia games: https://atozsports.com/games Follow A to Z on Google! https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=atozsports.com Driven by AutoProNashville.com Check out Brick and Mortar HERE: https://linktr.ee/s7i Tischoo Co Men’s Grooming ATOZ10: https://tischooco.com/pages/tischoo-co-a-to-z-sports For More Titans coverage follow us here: https://www.atozsports.com/nashville Podcasts: https://www.atozsports.com/podcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/atozsportsnashville Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atozsports/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AtoZSports TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atozsportsnashville Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze break down research presented by former NFL analytics executive Ryan Paganetti and longtime NFL reporter Nick Underhill on their YouTube show. Paganetti and Underhill studied more than 50 clear NFL joint-practice winners and losers to determine whether those August results carried into the regular season. The Titans have split their first two joint practices. Tennessee struggled during its practice against the San Francisco 49ers in California. Cam Ward and the Titans’ offense endured an inconsistent day, while the 49ers frequently controlled the physical and emotional tone of the session. The Titans produced a much more encouraging performance against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in Nashville. Ward finished strongly, Brian Daboll successfully used tempo to answer Seattle’s defensive pressure and Tennessee’s offensive line created opportunities in the running game. Alontae Taylor and the Titans defense also generated several impact plays, including a pick-six. That leaves Thursday’s joint practice against Chicago as the potential tiebreaker. According to the data presented by Paganetti, if Tennessee defeats the Bears and finishes 2-1 in its joint practices, the Titans would enter a historical group that produced at least eight regular-season victories 68 percent of the time. Would the 2026 Titans fall within that successful 68 percent—or the disappointing 32 percent? Austin and Easton discuss whether joint-practice results can reveal legitimate team quality, how observers should determine which team actually “won” a practice and whether the Titans’ performances against San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago match their regular-season expectations. The quarterback data may be even more interesting. Paganetti’s research found that teams identified as joint-practice winners demoted or replaced their starting quarterback during the season only seven percent of the time. Teams that lost their joint practices made a quarterback demotion 23 percent of the time. Cam Ward is not competing to retain Tennessee’s starting job, but the data could still reveal something about his second season. Does winning a joint practice demonstrate that a quarterback has command of the offense, can answer adversity and has earned the confidence of his coaching staff? Could Ward’s performance against Chicago offer a more useful preview than the Titans’ preseason games? Easton also provides the latest update from Tuesday’s Titans practice, including roster clues, injury developments and what Tennessee is preparing to accomplish against the Bears. Join the LIVE conversation: 🏈 Will the Titans finish joint practices 2-1? 🏈 Would Tennessee fall in the successful 68 percent or the other 32 percent? 🏈 How much should joint-practice results influence season expectations? 🏈 What does the quarterback data mean for Cam Ward? 🏈 What must Tennessee prove against Chicago? 👍 Like the stream 💬 Answer today’s audience questions 🔔 Subscribe for daily Tennessee Titans coverage #TennesseeTitans #Titans #CamWard #TitansBears #TitanUp #NFL Learn more about your ad choices.

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh remains calm and confident despite a preseason filled with offensive inconsistency, defensive breakdowns and growing frustration from Titans fans. But should Saleh’s confidence make the fan base feel comfort—or even more frustration?

The Titans are 2-0 in the preseason after wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, but the final scores have often presented a more encouraging picture than the performances themselves. Cam Ward and Tennessee’s starting offense have failed to produce a touchdown through two preseason games. Ward showed better accuracy and command against Seattle than he did against San Francisco, but the Titans again struggled to finish possessions and lost another opportunity when Ward was stripped from behind on a scramble. Tennessee’s defensive performance against Seattle created an even larger concern. The Seahawks rested their starters, but Drew Lock completed 12-of-14 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Seattle scored on its first three possessions and built a 16-3 first-quarter lead, highlighted by a wide-open touchdown to Elijah Arroyo and Jacardia Wright’s 69-yard rushing score. Jeffery Simmons has addressed the defense’s struggles and the need for Tennessee’s players to eliminate explosive plays, communicate more effectively and play with greater consistency. Robert Saleh has also acknowledged the ugly mistakes while maintaining confidence in his players, coaching staff and the progress being made behind the scenes. Does Saleh possess valuable context that fans cannot see? Is his calmness exactly what Tennessee needs from its new head coach? Or should the lack of urgency frustrate a fan base that has watched similar problems linger during recent seasons? Austin and JT debate whether Saleh’s approach should provide comfort or frustration before turning to the Titans’ new visual identity. The Titans will unveil their Nike Rivalries alternate uniform tonight. What should fans expect from the new look, and how will it fit alongside the franchise’s complete 2026 rebrand? Tennessee has already introduced an updated logo, Titans-blue primary home jerseys, white road uniforms and several design elements intended to connect the Oilers era, the Titans’ Tennessee history and Nashville’s identity. After finally watching the redesigned uniforms during a home game, have Titans fans changed their opinion of the rebrand?

The Tennessee Titans are 2-0 in the 2026 NFL preseason after defeating the Seattle Seahawks 19-16—but the final score does not tell the complete story. Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze react to Cam Ward’s performance, Carnell Tate’s quiet preseason and the growing concerns surrounding Robert Saleh’s Titans defense on today’s LIVE A to Z Sports Nashville morning show.

Ward looked more accurate and comfortable than he did during the Titans’ preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers, but Tennessee’s starting offense still failed to score a touchdown. Ward also lost the football when Seahawks linebacker Chazz Surratt chased him down from behind on a scramble. Was Ward’s performance encouraging, efficient, underwhelming or simply incomplete? Austin and Easton ask Titans fans to describe Cam’s night in ONE WORD before grading the good, the bad and what his performance means entering the final preseason game. Carnell Tate remains one of the biggest Titans storylines. Robert Saleh discussed the rookie wide receiver after Tate went through another preseason game without producing the explosive moments Titans fans saw throughout training camp. Is Tate merely experiencing the normal ups and downs of a rookie, or has his quiet preseason become something worth monitoring? The greatest concern may be Tennessee’s defense. The Seahawks rested their starters, but Drew Lock completed 12-of-14 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Seattle scored on its first three possessions, including a wide-open 36-yard touchdown to Elijah Arroyo and Jacardia Wright’s 69-yard touchdown run. The Titans also committed 11 penalties for 100 yards, while an illegal-contact penalty erased a Kevin Winston Jr. interception. Robert Saleh described some of Tennessee’s mistakes as “hateful plays,” and the Titans head coach made it clear that the performance was not good enough. Where should the panic meter sit for this defense as the regular season approaches? There were still plenty of legitimate Titans winners. Joey Slye connected on four field goals, including a 55-yarder. Anthony Hill Jr. and Derrick Canteen intercepted Jalen Milroe, while D’Ernest Johnson scored the game-winning touchdown as Tennessee erased a 16-3 deficit. Austin and Easton separate the meaningful positives from the misleading final result with Titans-Seahawks winners, losers and the biggest remaining concerns. #TennesseeTitans #Titans #CamWard #CarnellTate #TitanUp #NFLPreseason Learn more about your ad choices.

The Tennessee Titans face their most important training camp test when the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks arrive in Nashville for Friday’s joint practice.

He has produced several encouraging practices since then, but Seattle provides an opportunity to demonstrate improved accuracy, decision-making and command against an unfamiliar championship defense. The Titans’ cornerbacks may have even more to prove. Tennessee’s secondary has surrendered too many explosive plays during training camp, while uncertainty remains behind Cor’Dale Flott and Alontae Taylor. How the group handles Seattle’s receivers could reveal whether cornerback has replaced the offensive line as the biggest concern on Robert Saleh’s roster. The offensive line belongs directly in the middle of the evaluation. Fernando Carmona is emerging at right guard, JC Latham continues building momentum at right tackle and Brandon Crenshaw-Dixon is being tested as Tennessee’s potential swing tackle. If Ward struggles, Austin and Easton explain how to separate quarterback mistakes from protection failures. Plus, which overlooked Titans player could become the surprise star of the joint practice?

The Tennessee Titans have both of their 2026 first-round picks on injury watch before Friday’s major joint-practice test against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze react to Robert Saleh’s latest updates on Carnell Tate, Keldric Faulk, Jacob Martin and Mitch Trubisky. Tate missed Wednesday’s practice with tightness that Saleh said was unrelated to the massive collision involving Kevin Winston Jr. on Monday. The rookie receiver avoided a concussion, but his availability remains an important storyline before Tennessee faces one of the NFL’s most talented defenses.

The No. 4 overall pick has produced several dominant practices and repeatedly flashed his contested-catch ability, but the physical toll of camp, limited preseason production and missed practice time have interrupted some of his momentum. Austin and Easton discuss whether that represents a normal rookie adjustment or something worth monitoring. Faulk’s situation carries more uncertainty. Tennessee’s other first-round selection left Wednesday’s practice in visible discomfort while favoring his shoulder. Saleh expressed hope that the issue was merely a stinger, but the Titans are continuing to evaluate the young defensive lineman. Austin and Easton explain what they saw on the play and why Faulk needs every available repetition against Seattle’s offensive line. The conversation then shifts to Tennessee’s receivers. Elic Ayomanor explains the importance of consistency as he competes for opportunities in a crowded room. Wan’Dale Robinson continues commanding targets and looks positioned to become one of Brian Daboll’s most frequently used weapons. Robinson has exceeded 140 targets and 90 receptions in each of the last two seasons—but what total would actually shock Titans fans in this offense? Calvin Ridley may be the wild card. Tennessee no longer needs Ridley to function as its unquestioned No. 1 receiver, allowing him to operate as “gravy” behind Tate and Robinson. If Ridley’s strong training-camp performance translates into the regular season, he could become the unexpected multiplier that changes the offense’s ceiling.

The Athletic Football Show is “freaked out” by what Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans offense showed during their preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers—but how concerned should Titans fans actually be?

Was it one meaningless preseason performance, or did the mistakes resemble problems that followed Ward throughout his rookie season? Then Austin and Easton reveal their competing Titans 53-man roster projections.

Tennessee Titans rookie Carnell Tate made the play of Monday’s training camp practice—but the massive collision involving safety Kevin Winston Jr. has created a polarizing debate.

Tate extended for Cam Ward’s fourth-down pass before colliding with Winston and cornerback Cor’Dale Flott. The rookie receiver maintained possession despite briefly feeling dizzy after the play. Winston was also involved in a physical rep against Elic Ayomanor during Saturday’s practice, raising questions about how Tennessee should balance its “fast and violent” identity with protecting teammates. Plus, JC Latham explains his relationship with Jeffery Simmons, Fernando Carmona’s emergence at right guard and the physical mentality forming on the right side of Tennessee’s offensive line.

The Tennessee Titans have released their first unofficial depth chart of the 2026 NFL season—and training camp suggests that several listings are accurate, several are misleading and some important position battles remain wide open.

The Titans quarterback order matches expectations. Cam Ward is the unquestioned starter, Mitch Trubisky is listed second and Will Levis shares the third line with Hendon Hooker. Has Ward created more separation from the rest of Tennessee’s quarterback room than the depth chart can adequately show? The starting wide receivers also check out. Rookie Carnell Tate and Calvin Ridley are listed outside, with Wan’Dale Robinson in the slot. Elic Ayomanor, Bryce Oliver and Chimere Dike complete the projected top six, potentially leaving every other Titans receiver fighting for a practice-squad opportunity. Robert Saleh’s defensive structure is also evident. Jermaine Johnson and Jacob Martin are the starting edge defenders, with Femi Oladejo and rookie Keldric Faulk behind them. John Franklin-Myers is listed as Tennessee’s starting big end alongside Jeffery Simmons. The biggest disagreement comes at running back. Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are correctly listed first and second, but Michael Carter appears ahead of Nick Singleton, Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings. Based on training camp performance, should Singleton move from sixth to third before the regular season? Austin and Easton also examine Kylen Granson being listed ahead of David Martin-Robinson at tight end and the depth-chart decisions that do not match what they have observed during practice. Several position battles remain unsettled. Cordell Volson is listed as Tennessee’s starting right guard, but rookie Fernando Carmona Jr. and Jackson Slater continue receiving first-team opportunities. Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson has also emerged as the leading swing tackle candidate ahead of Austin Deculus. The Titans face another difficult roster decision at linebacker. Cody Barton, Cedric Gray and Mohamoud Diabate are currently listed as starters, while Anthony Hill Jr., James Williams Sr. and Dorian Mausi are competing for roles behind them. Can Tennessee realistically retain all six? Plus, Austin and Easton identify the depth-chart listings most likely to change during the joint practice and preseason opener against San Francisco.

Elic Ayomanor’s injury scare has created uncertainty inside the Tennessee Titans wide receiver room just hours before Friday night’s blue-and-white scrimmage at Nissan Stadium. Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze discuss the latest Titans injury updates from Thursday’s training camp practice and identify the players with the most to gain during tonight’s game-like scrimmage.

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said afterward that Ayomanor’s shoulder appeared stable, but the team still needed more information about the injury and his potential availability. If Ayomanor is temporarily unavailable, which Titans wide receiver will benefit most from the additional opportunities? Chimere Dike has begun producing more noticeable plays after a quiet start to camp and could receive additional work in Ayomanor’s absence. Calvin Ridley’s experience and relationship with Cam Ward could also create more targets, while rookie Carnell Tate and free-agent addition Wan’Dale Robinson already project to hold major roles in Brian Daboll’s offense. The Titans also received updates on two important linemen. Starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. returned after leaving Tuesday’s practice early, while defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers exited Thursday with back tightness that Saleh did not initially consider concerning. The conversation then shifts to the Titans’ blue-and-white scrimmage at Nissan Stadium. Saleh plans to make the event feel as much like a real game as possible, complete with a clock, scoring system, punts, field goals and fourth-down decisions. Which Titans players are best positioned to elevate their status in a scrimmage setting? The controlled game environment could be especially important for quarterbacks Will Levis and Mitch Trubisky, running backs fighting for touches, receivers competing for the final roster spots and defensive players whose instincts may become more visible once the coaching staff removes some of the structure found in a normal practice. Austin and Easton identify the Titans who could improve their depth-chart position, roster security and preseason opportunities under the lights at Nissan Stadium.

Carnell Tate delivered one of the biggest plays of Tennessee Titans training camp, but another member of the 2026 Titans draft class may have been the flashiest rookie through the opening week. Austin Stanley and Easton Freeze evaluate Tennessee’s rookies after five training camp practices and two sessions in pads. Which Titans rookie has made the strongest first impression, and how should fans evaluate the rest of Mike Borgonzi’s draft class before Friday night’s blue-and-white scrimmage? Rookie linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. produced one of the most impressive practices of camp by intercepting Mitch Trubisky twice. The No. 60 overall pick is learning the Mike linebacker position in Robert Saleh’s defense while competing for snaps in a crowded room featuring Cedric Gray, Cody Barton and James Williams Sr. Has Hill already shown enough athleticism and playmaking ability to earn a meaningful defensive role during his rookie season? Carnell Tate created his biggest highlight when he separated from Alontae Taylor and caught an approximately 65-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward. The first-round receiver has displayed his route-running talent and potential throughout camp, but Tennessee’s crowded receiving corps could make his early development more subtle than the splash plays produced by other rookies. Austin and Easton also examine the other top selections from the Titans’ 2026 NFL Draft class. Which players have lived up to expectations, which rookies need to become more noticeable and whose development could have the biggest impact on Tennessee’s season? The discussion then shifts to Tennessee’s Day 3 draft picks. Rookie running back Nicholas Singleton began flashing his physicality and speed when the pads came on, including an explosive run during Tuesday’s practice. He has also shown encouraging ability in pass protection while competing for opportunities behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. Which Titans Day 3 draft pick inspires the most confidence after the opening week of training camp—and which late-round rookie has the most work remaining before the preseason begins?
