2026 Season Outlook

sleeper-outlookOct 26, 2026, 9:00 AM+1 story · 30dSource unavailable

Kanak came off the board to Tennessee in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft after being a late bloomer at Oklahoma, where he played four years but contributed at linebacker from 2022-24, only transitioning to TE as a senior in 2025. In his final year with the Sooners, Kanak impressed with a 44-533-0 line, and he makes up for a below-average frame (6-2, 234) with solid speed (4.52 40-yard dash). That said, as a rookie, Kanak may struggle to push for more than special-teams duties due to the presence of Gunnar Helm, Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson atop the TE depth chart

Kanak will miss the entire 2026 campaign due to a torn pectoral, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Kanak made an early exit from Thursday's preseason game at San Francisco and wasn't able to return to action. Now that the severity of the injury is known, the rookie seventh-round pick will need to wait until 2027 to make his pro debut. Kylen Granson, David Martin-Robinson and Joel Wilson now will compete for the tertiary TE roles in the Titans offense behind Gunnar Helm and Daniel Bellinger

Gunnar Helm Daniel Bellinger Kylen Granson

Titans tight end Gunnar Helm, a fourth-round pick in 2025, appeared in 16 games, with 10 starts, as a rookie. He ranked fourth on the team with 44 receptions, which set a franchise record for rookie tight ends, and fourth on the team with 357 receiving yards. Helm scored twice and had at least one reception in all 16 games he played. He isn’t satisfied. “There’s always something to go out there and do,” Helm said, via Jim Wyatt of the team website, “ always something to prove , and there’s somebody always coming for your spot.” Heim has a new head coach (Robert Saleh), a new offensive coordinator (Brian Daboll) and new teammates at tight end, with veterans Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson and rookie Jaren Kanak joining Helm, David Martin-Robinson and Joel Wilson on the roster this offseason. Helm knows Daboll’s offense utilizes the tight ends, which has him excited about building on his rookie season. “It’s been great,” Helm said. “Obviously [Daboll] is not afraid to use the tight end, did so wherever he’s been. There’s been great clips of like [Rob] Gronkowski [in New England], Dalton Kinkaid [and] Dawson Knox [in Buffalo], just doing things that usually receivers do. Being able to be worked into the offense like that, it’s been great.”
