NFL uniform rankings: How do the Titans stack up?
In addition, they announced that the AFC East and NFC West will wear new "Rivalries" jerseys in 2025, a collaboration between Nike and the NFL. The uniforms are said to be similar to the NBA's "City Edition" and the MLB's "City Connect" jerseys. Teams will be added in increments each year until 2028, so that every NFL team has a "Rivalries" jersey.
The Tennessee Titans announced changes to their uniforms in 2025, making "Titans blue" the primary color on their home jerseys instead of navy. The Titans haven't made a ton of changes to their look over the last 25 years, but the players and fans seem to appreciate this update. Outside of Nashville, though, where do the Titans' jerseys stack up against the rest of the league? USA Today's Nate Davis analyzed and ranked each team's uniform, and the Titans dropped from their previous ranking.
Previous ranking: 23Current ranking: 29While teams like the Panthers are something of a mess, the Titans seem to at least understand less is more – though even that's problematic to a degree. They wore seven combinations in 2024, most notably the glorious Houston Oilers throwbacks, but had several more permutations at their disposal. However the Oilers unis won't come out of the closet this season – yes, the Titans left Texas in 1997 and took their branding with them – and 'Titans Blue' will become the primary home color (instead of navy). The whole thing is probably moot given a major redesign seems to be coming in 2026.
Considering that last month the Titans' uniforms were voted among the worst in the league, it's not overly surprising that they fell in Davis' rankings.
While the players and fans seem to love this year's uniform, it sounds like a full redesign is right around the corner, so next year this ranking might be very different.
The good news for the Titans is that it doesn't really matter what the uniforms look like. What matters is how they perform each Sunday for 17 weeks in the fall. Winning, fans might be more excited about what they are wearing, but losing? Fans don't care at that point. Losses suck, and they feel bad, and no one likes to lose, even if they look good. So, despite the lower ranking in what they will be wearing this fall, the Titans care more about their ranking on the field.

Liam Coen: Travis Hunter did "quality work" both ways in scrimmage
Travis Hunter's bid to play both ways for the Jaguars during his rookie season took another step on Friday night. The Jaguars held a scrimmage at EverBank Stadium, which allowed Hunter to play both wide receiver and cornerback in a simulated game setting. Hunter had three catches in 17 offensive snaps and he played 21 snaps on defense on a night that head coach Liam Coen deemed a big success. "I thought it was great," Coen said, via Michael DiRocco of "We got him the work that we wanted to get with him on offense early on and then able to get him on defense and get him enough reps. That was what we were hoping to do tonight in terms of just get him on both sides of the ball, quality work. I know he [didn't] get much [action at cornerback] because the D-line was getting a good rush, so it was a little hard to see. I thought when he had the ball in his hands and he operated, he operated at a high level." Coen said seeing Hunter with the ball in space was "pretty cool" and the Jaguars will hope Friday night is a sign of things to come for their first-round pick.

Manti Te'o explains why Kyren Williams puts defenses in a 'very uncomfortable situation'
Kyren Williams is entering his third season as the Los Angeles Rams' starting running back after rushing for a total of 2,443 yards in the last two years alone. He's also added 66 catches for 388 yards and five touchdowns as a receiver, contributing in multiple ways for the Rams. Though the Rams do have talent behind him with Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter, it's Williams' job to lose. The coaching staff loves him, as do his teammates, which is why the team is considering an extension for the young running back. His ability to rack up yards on the ground and also help out as a receiver is what makes him so dangerous, says former NFL linebacker Manti Te'o. He explained to Rich Eisen this week why Williams puts defenses in 'a very uncomfortable situation' when he's on the field no matter the down and distance. 'The thing about the one-back approach is this: It keeps everything at your disposal,' Te'o said. 'When you send in a scat back, defensively, I know 80% of the time you're going to throw the ball. So there's a tendency marker that defensively, I can get into your huddle a little bit. 'OK, if I see Alvin Kamara back there, yeah, he can run the ball. But you're mainly throwing him the ball.' So defensively, when you have Kyren in the game first and second and third down, I don't know what you're going to do. It just puts the defense in a very uncomfortable situation and position to be in.' The Rams have long preferred to have a workhorse back, going back to the days of Todd Gurley – one of the best dual-threat players of the last decade. He played a ton of snaps for the Rams, often staying on the field on third down because he was such a dangerous receiver. Williams isn't quite the pass catcher that Gurley is, but he's a terrific blocker in the backfield and is particularly good as a receiver in the red zone. Corum and Hunter are capable receivers, as well, but if the Rams bring them in exclusively on third downs, it'll be a tell for the defense.

Ravens to sign D'Ernest Johnson
The Ravens are adding to their offensive backfield. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that they are signing former Browns and Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson. Johnson also worked out for the 49ers earlier this week, but the 49ers opted to sign Ameer Abdullah. Johnson spent the last two seasons in Jacksonville and ran 73 times for 251 yards. Johnson played his first four NFL seasons in Cleveland and had 141 carries for 378 yards and three touchdowns. He also has 53 career catches for 465 yards. Derrick Henry tops Baltimore's running back depth chart. Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, Rasheen Ali, and Marcus Major make up the rest of it.
