Titans WR Carnell Tate returns to practice Friday
Titans first-round pick Carnell Tate is back on the practice field Friday. Tate missed the last few days of work due to what head coach Robert Saleh termed stiffness, but videos from Friday’s joint practice with the Seahawks show that the wide receiver is back to work. Tate’s status for Sunday’s preseason game between the teams is uncertain. Quarterback Cam Ward targeted Tate three times during Tennessee’s first preseason game against the 49ers, but the rookie did not reel in any of the passes. Ward was 5-of-12 for 57 yards overall in that game. Saleh said afterward that he thought the second-year quarterback was “a little sped up” in that contest and the Titans will be hoping to see a calmer outing this time around

Xavier Restrepo Leads Titans in Catches in First Joint Practice
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Xavier Restrepo led the team on Tuesday in their first joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers, with TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt having him down for a team-high five catches, including two that went for touchdowns. Second-year wideout Chimere Dike had the second-most grabs with four. Restrepo went undrafted last year out of the University of Miami before latching on with the Titans and catching three of his seven targets for 41 scoreless yards in two games played in Weeks 12 and 13. The 24-year-old is mostly intriguing because of his chemistry with quarterback Cam Ward, whom he played with at Miami. Despite Restrepo's chemistry with Ward and his strong day in practice on Tuesday, he's likely a long shot to make the 53-man roster out of training camp and the preseason after the Titans added Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and rookie Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick back in April

Calvin Ridley: I still have the speed and ability to succeed
Calvin Ridley took a pay cut to remain with the Titans this offseason, but it wasn’t because he thinks he’s lost the ability that made him an offensive threat in past seasons. Ridley only played seven games before he fractured his fibula last season and he had 17 catches in those games, which had him on track for his least productive full season since entering the NFL. Ridley said over the weekend that neither those results nor the injury have left him questioning if he can keep pace. “Hell yeah,” Ridley said, via the team’s website. "[I] can still beat all of them , still as fast as all of them. . . . If I stay healthy, I am going to be a good player on this team. I am going to contribute on this team.” Ridley is the most experienced member of the Titans’ receiving corps and he explained why he’s been able to act as a mentor to younger teammates like Carnell Tate, Chimere Dike, and Elic Ayomanor. “That’s because I used to kick ass,” Ridley said. “And I still can.” The Titans would love to see Ridley get back to his old ways as they try to make a jump up the standings in quarterback Cam Ward’s second season

Betting the Titans in 2026: See how Tennessee's win total, Super Bowl odds are trending and our best bets
The Titans reset once again this offseason after a third straight finish in the basement of the AFC South. 2024 coaching hire Brian Callahan went 4-19 with the team before getting jettisoned after Week 6 last season, and interim coach Mike McCoy didn't fare much better. Enter Robert Saleh, who had similar issues as the Jets head coach for three-plus seasons before a successful stint as 49ers defensive coordinator last year. With a No. 1 overall pick at quarterback in Cam Ward and a top-five pick at receiver in Carnell Tate , it's time for the Titans to find a way out of the basement. We're taking a look at everything you need to know before making Tennessee Titans futures bets below, including odds, trends, 2026 schedule, offseason changes and more before sharing our preseason betting strategy for the team. Odds are via DraftKings. Fans interested in betting on NFL and Super Bowl futures should check out the latest DraftKings promo code . The market has taken a step back on the Titans since February, just like it has with divisional rivals Indianapolis and Jacksonville. Even with longshot odds to win the AFC and Super Bowl, the Titans are ahead of four other teams in their conference: the Raiders , Browns , Jets and Dolphins . The Titans won six games in 2024 and 2025 combined after winning at least six games in each of the previous eight seasons, so this is what the bottom looks like. The Titans went from positive point differentials in Mike Vrabel's first four seasons as head coach to -61 and -62 in his last two seasons, then -149 in 2024 and finally -194 in 2025 as they allowed the most points in franchise history. If you want to wager on NFL futures, you have to check out the latest FanDuel promo code . While there isn't much positive to speak of in the numbers, the Titans did have the fourth lowest interception rate in the league as Ward threw just seven picks as a rookie. The rushing attack finished 21st in yards per play but the passing game only finished better than the Jets. The defense was a similar story: solid against the run, awful defending the pass, where they only beat out the Commanders and Cowboys on a per play basis. The defense did finish ninth in sack rate, one positive worth noting. The Titans had a lot of moving parts this season with the switch in coaching staff, which features three former head coaches at the top, none of whom made it beyond their fourth year in the top spot. After a lackluster 2025 from the receiving corps, the Titans signed Wan'Dale Robinson and Carnell Tate to give Ward the weapons he needs to have a chance at success. He'll have a pair of new interior offensive lineman in front of him as well. The primary focus outside of receiver has been at two defensive positions: edge rusher, where the Titans traded T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson, signed John Franklin-Myers and traded back into the first round to select Keldric Faulk; and cornerback, where Alontae Taylor, Cor'Dale Flott and Joshua Williams were brought aboard in free agency. Before you wager on NFL or Super Bowl futures, head over to our BetMGM promo code to see a great offer. The Titans have no international travel and no games on a day other than Sunday but there are plenty of winnable games on the schedule if Robert Saleh can get his team ready to play out the gate. Three of Tennessee's toughest matchups come during the first five weeks when they face the Eagles , Ravens and Texans . While non-common games against the Jets and Raiders offer potential wins on a last-place schedule, having to travel to Detroit to face the last-place Lions is unfortunate. If you want to tail R.J. White and other SportsLine and CBS experts, check out the latest Caesars Sportsbook promo code . The Titans aren't a team I'm excited to bet this year as 6.5 wins feels about right, but I saw enough from Ward as a rookie that I can entertain this team making a surprise run with better receiving options if the offensive line can keep it [... truncated ...]

Calvin Ridley Regains Weight After Stomach Virus
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley said he lost almost 15 pounds while dealing with a stomach virus but has since gained the weight back, according to Terry McCormick. Ridley also said he had eaten Chipotle before becoming ill, though the report did not identify the restaurant as the cause. The update is welcome after a quiet offseason in which Ridley's work was limited. His 2025 season ended after seven games because of a broken fibula and high ankle sprain, leaving him with 17 catches for 303 yards and no touchdowns. Tennessee added Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and selected Carnell Tate fourth overall, giving Ridley more competition for targets this season. With the lost weight already restored, there is no indication in McCormick's report that the illness remains an active concern. Ridley's camp usage and role alongside Tennessee's new receivers are the more important fantasy developments to follow

2026 Dynasty Tight Ends on the Verge of a Breakout | BUY NOW!
In fantasy football, the tight end position divides managers into two groups: the haves and have-nots. There are always a few that separate themselves from the others in any given season, but most relevant tight ends stay within a few points per game of one another. Having one in the latter group is fine if you paid less for them. Here, I’ve got five tight ends deserving of your attention who can enter that group at a low price point and see their value (and pricing) increase beginning in 2026. Chigoziem Okonkwo looked like he might be the next great playmaker at the position when he flashed at the end of his rookie season in Tennessee. In his last six games of that campaign, Okonkwo scored at least 10 PPR points in four of them. He showed explosiveness few tight ends possess, giving fantasy managers dreams of what he could become. Okonkwo’s role increased in his second season, but not nearly to what we’d hoped it would. His last three seasons with the Titans were nearly identical, scoring between 6.7 and 7.9 PPR PPG with similar counting stats in each. Chig Okonkwo cannot be stopped! NOvsTEN on CBS/Paramount+ https://t.co/HkKw7uXVnt pic.twitter.com/vrs4HBP8yx — NFL (@NFL) December 28, 2025 With his rookie contract up, the team let Okonkwo walk, and he signed with the Commanders for a quality contract of $27 million over three years. With the Commanders, Okonkwo will now be playing with one of the best young quarterbacks in the league, Jayden Daniels , and could become their second option in the passing game after Terry McLaurin , as Washington doesn’t have much for pass catchers. Okonkwo isn’t only set up to be a value; he could be a league winner in 2026. Okonkwo’s former teammate, Gunnar Helm , now has a nice opportunity in front of him. The Titans have room for multiple receivers to gain opportunities. They drafted Carnell Tate and signed Wan’Dale Robinson and Daniel Bellinger , but Helm could earn enough to be worthwhile. Tate will be the de facto No. 1 as a downfield threat, leaving room underneath. Robinson should be next in line, but Helm could be the clear third. Bellinger was signed because he has familiarity with the Brian Daboll offense and is more of an in-line blocker anyway. We prefer our tight ends to be a top-two target on their team, but Helm also has a couple of factors working in his direction. One is that the Titans are likely to be playing from behind often, forcing the offense to pass a lot. More pass attempts mean Helm needs less of a designed role to find value. Second, Helm is so inexpensive currently that even a streaming-tight-end-level performance would be a win for him. Helm doesn’t have a great ceiling; however, he can provide value to fantasy teams at rock-bottom cost and see his dynasty value rise this season. A favorite sleeper of many fantasy managers since he entered the NFL, Greg Dulcich has only disappointed since his rookie season. In his first year, he surprised by averaging 8.6 PPR PPG, 17th at his position, in the 10 games he played. Dulcich had some intriguing metrics coming out of college (UCLA), so combined with his rookie season, many were rightfully excited. Instead, Dulcich battled injuries, struggled to get on the field, bounced around teams, and finally landed in Miami in 2025. He played sparingly, beginning the season on the practice squad until Week 8, but was targeted at a high rate once on the field. Ewers over the middle to Dulcich for the TD! How good has Dulcich been? pic.twitter.com/JCjxapysk5 — Bobby Shouse (@B_Shousejr) December 28, 2025 This offseason, the Dolphins re-signed the All-Pac 12 Bruin on a small $3.25 million, one-year contract. That money doesn’t get you excited for Dulcich, but the lack of weapons around him does. The Dolphins easily have the worst cast of pass catchers in the NFL. He’ll be battling the likes of Malik Washington , Jalen Tolbert , Tutu Atwell , and two rookies in Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas . None of them project enough [... truncated ...]
