Jim Wyatt may not be in the business of tossing out wild guesses, but when the longtime Titans beat writer leaves a hint, it tends to matter.
That’s what happened in his training camp preview of Tennessee’s offensive linemen. Wyatt laid out what he saw during OTAs, how the room looked inside the facility, and what he expects from the group moving forward. The clearest takeaway came at the end of his assessment:
"The tackles need to prove they can be solid and steady, while depth players need to emerge both inside and out. The Titans want to see guys rise to the occasion, but adding another lineman to the swing tackle competition wouldn't come as a surprise either."
That line points in a specific direction. Wyatt didn’t signal concern about the interior of the line, even though that’s been the more obvious trouble spot. Instead, he left the door open for Tennessee to add another offensive tackle, likely one who could serve as the team’s top backup.
That would fit with a name like Jack Conklin, or really any veteran right tackle. The logic is straightforward: if Dan Moore goes down, J.C.
Latham has already played a season at left tackle, so he could shift over and create room for the reserve. And if Latham gets hurt, a career right tackle would be ready to step in immediately.
With training camp approaching, the timing makes sense. These kinds of moves often happen fast, and offensive linemen rarely linger on the market for long. Wyatt’s hint suggests Tennessee’s next addition could come sooner rather than later.

Colts Eye Former Starter As Another Key Camp Decision Looms
With camp decisions still taking shape, the Colts are weighing another veteran option in the secondary after Jordan Whitehead recently visited the team. The former starter is drawing interest elsewhere too, including a stop with the Texans, which underscores that Indianapolis is not the only club looking for a proven safety who can help stabilize the back end without forcing a long-term commitment.
For Chris Ballard, the appeal may be in a short-term deal that keeps the roster flexible while adding competition to a room still sorting out backup snaps. Whitehead would not arrive with a clear path to a starting job, but he could push for reserve safety reps and enter the mix with Hunter Wohler as the Colts continue to evaluate how the pieces fit under Lou Anarumo.

Colts Still Have One Receiver Problem Fans Can't Ignore
The Colts spent the offseason reshaping their receiver room, moving Michael Pittman Jr. out to create the financial and roster room needed for Alec Pierces extension, then adding Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in free agency and Deion Burks in the draft. Even with those moves, the depth chart still has a familiar question hanging over it: who actually steps into the role behind the top options, and who gives this passing game the kind of reliable third presence it lacked at times last season?
Shane Steichen has framed it as a true camp competition, with Ashton Dulin, Laquon Treadwell, Westbrook-Ikhine and Burks all in the mix for that third receiver job. The Colts will keep sorting out how the targets are distributed around Pierce, Josh Downs and Tyler Warren, but the bigger issue is simpler than that. They have bodies, they have candidates and they have a plan, yet they still do not have a clear answer for which one of them can separate from the pack and hold the spot week after week.

Two Colts Backups Just Got Recognition That Could Matter Soon
A couple of Colts backups just picked up some outside recognition that says as much about roster construction as it does about individual talent. ESPNs Bill Barnwell put together a hypothetical 53-man All-Backup team, and Indianapolis landed two names on it in wide receiver Ashton Dulin and defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore, a reminder that depth can swing a season as much as headline starters do.
Dulin drew notice for the value he brings on special teams and the fact that he can still flash as a receiver when called upon, while Adebawore got credit for his growing pass-rush presence and increased production in 2025. For the Colts, it is the kind of acknowledgment that matters because these are the players who can quietly keep a team afloat when injuries hit and the rotation gets tested. [Read more 🡒]
