Titans' L'Jarius Sneed Provides Health Update Ahead of Training Camp
All offseason, one of the biggest questions regarding the Titans' defense has centered around cornerback L'Jarius Sneed. The veteran corner, who was traded to the Titans last offseason and immediately agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million deal, hasn't quite panned out so far in his Titans career. He only played in five games last season before a quad injury sidelined him for the rest of the season.

Sneed is still not cleared, as his quad injury has proven to be more serious than initially thought. He sat out for the entirety of the team's offseason program, and even with coach Brian Callahan's steadfast positivity, fans are starting to lose hope that Sneed will even be on the field to start this season.

After speaking with KTAL news in Shreveport, Louisiana, however Sneed gave many Titans fans reason to be optimistic.
"I am healthy as I have been,' Sneed said. 'Last year, my first year didn't go as planned. But it's time to come out and show the world what God has been instilling in me. I'm ready to get back on the field."
Those words should be magic to the ears of Titans fans. Sneed, if healthy, would provide a significant boost to the team's cornerback room. Not only did he state that he was ready to get back on the field, but he also gave the fans a vote of confidence about himself during his time talking to the press.

"I have to remind everyone who L'Jarius Sneed is,' he said.
The Titans organization and fans are looking forward to Sneed showing everyone his abilities on the field this season. Although some are exercising caution, Sneed sounds like a man who has been listening to Roy Jones Jr. on repeat, preparing for his eventual clearance to return to the field and display his skills, all the while letting everyone know to never forget about him. It will be interesting to see if he can translate these words and confidence into physical action when he is cleared to return to the field.

Tennessee Titans' training camp: Injury roundup ahead of joint practices with Falcons
#Titans' Callahan: Spears will miss at least a couple of weeks with ankle injury ... Hoping Cushenberry, Hance will return to practice this week ... Less certain of Winston. When the Tennessee Titans hit the field against the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, expect to see another intense joint practice session, as well as some returning faces to the practice field. Safety Quandre Diggs is expected to make his 2025 return to team drills, and he could potentially be joined by both Blake Hance and Lloyd Cushenberry. Titans head coach Brian Callahan spoke with the media and stated that he is optimistic the two veterans will return to on-field work at some point during the week in Atlanta. It's a significant step forward for Cushenberry, who is recovering from a torn Achilles. He will have to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list prior to taking part in any part of practice. While those players could return, the Titans are expected to be without a few players during the joint practices. Running back Tyjae Spears (ankle), T'Vondre Sweat (tonsillectomy) and Kevin Winston Jr. (knee soreness) will all likely be out this week. Winston does have an outside shot at returning to practice, but the team is being cautious with his ACL rehab and are keeping the rookie out as a precautionary measure. A little clarity on #Titans safety Kevin Winston Jr.-He's dealing w/normal soreness that comes in the post ACL surgery recovery.-Brian Callahan has mentioned before about being smart and carefully managing select players during training camp. Winston is one of them.-Titans… Another player who will be sidelined is linebacker Anfernee Orji, who is likely headed to injured reserve after suffering an ACL injury in a joint practice session with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. #Titans ILB Anfernee Orji suffered a torn ACL during this Thursday's joint practice and will miss the 2025 season per source. The Titans have not made an official announcement or roster move, but could do so before taking the field on Tuesday. Orji was competing for playing time with James Williams, Cedric Gray, and Otis Reese IV at inside linebacker, and was ticketed to potentially play a major role on special teams. Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed is making progress, but is not ready to take the field and will remain on the PUP list.

7 Tennessee Titans with most to gain in joint practices with Atlanta Falcons
Still feeling the after-effects of their 29-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the preseason opener, the Tennessee Titans will have to quickly turn the page. The Titans will be in Atlanta this week for two joint practice sessions with the Falcons. Tennessee has a lot to work on, but it should have plenty of chances to correct some of the things that plagued it during the game. This will also be a chance for some players to build upon their performance against the Bucs as the roster battles heat up. Here's a look at seven players with the most to gain from these joint practices. DT Timmy Horne Horne was solid in his Titans debut against the Bucs in relief of T'Vondre Sweat at nose tackle. The veteran flashed a non-stop motor and an ability to anchor in the middle. With Sweat still sidelined after a tonsillectomy, Horne should see increased reps and benefit from the return of Jeffery Simmons along the defensive front. He has a real chance to make an impact. S Mike Brown After entering camp on solid footing, Brown is now facing an uphill battle at safety and could get caught in a numbers game. After an uneven performance against the Bucs, he'll have to seize on any added reps from the Titans' decision to be cautious with Kevin Winston and his ACL recovery. With Quandre Diggs likely making his team debut this week in team drills, Brown must show something to keep his spot safe. G Jackson Slater Slater saw an increased rep-share in the preseason opener with the Titans resting veteran Kevin Zeitler and held his own playing with the starters. The rookie from Sacramento State looks the part, and with Blake Hance sidelined, has a path to becoming the primary interior backup heading into the season. Another good week of practice against the Falcons could help. LB Otis Reese IV Reese didn't play against the Buccaneers and is losing ground in the inside linebacker competition with James Williams and Cedric Gray. With both players having good outings against the Bucs, it's go time for Reese. If he doesn't step up soon, he could be losing more than just the starting role. RB Kalel Mullings Mullings led the Titans in rushing against the Bucs and should see increased usage against the Falcons this week with Tyjae Spears sidelined with a high ankle sprain. Tony Pollard is entrenched as the starter, but Mullings has a chance to work his way into an expanded role after some solid practices against the Falcons. He will be competing with Julius Chestnut for carries, but he brings a different skill set to the table. TE David Martin-Robinson Martin-Robinson has had an outstanding camp and built upon that with his performance in the preseason opener. If he can stack another good week of practice against the Falcons, he can tighten his grip behind Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm on the depth chart. CB Clarence Lewis Lewis took a step forward against the Bucs and can build upon his performance if he can back it up with a good week of practice against the Falcons. With L'Jarius Sneed still sidelined on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, cornerback depth remains thin, and Tennessee needs to find some players behind Jarvis Brownlee, Roger McCreary, and Darrell Baker. Lewis has flown under the radar, but he has the size and skill set to sneak into the cornerback conversation.

Fox announces Week 1 commentators for Broncos vs. Titans game
The Denver Broncos are set to play in five nationally televised games this season, but they certainly aren't getting special coverage each week. Fox Sports announced its Week 1 commentators last week, and the Broncos and Tennessee Titans have been assigned the network's sixth-string crew for their showdown on Sept. 7. Adam Amin (play-by-play) and Mark Sanchez (analyst) will call the Broncos-Titans game for Fox with Kristina Pink reporting from the sideline. The game should have some national intrigue because it is expected to mark rookie quarterback Cam Ward's NFL debut, but Tennessee has the second-lowest over/under projected win total (5.5) this fall. So the Titans probably aren't much of a draw, at least not yet. Denver's getting more national attention after going 10-7 and reaching the NFL playoffs last year, so they might have a game with the No. 1 Fox crew of Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady and Erin Andrews later this season. After the Tennessee game, the Broncos have two more Fox games on their 2025 schedule. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X! Did you know: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
