If you’ve never given much thought to the Tennessee Titans’ mascot, you’re not alone. Plenty of fans are only now finding out that the team does, in fact, have one, and his name is T-Rac.
The question popped back into the spotlight after Barstool Gambling posted a video on X asking people what the Titans mascot actually is. The answers were all over the place, and a lot of respondents seemed stunned to learn there was even a mascot to identify. That’s how T-Rac got his latest moment in the conversation.
He’s a raccoon - a cartoon version, obviously - and the choice makes sense for Tennessee. The raccoon is the state wild animal, and T-Rac leans into the look with the striped tail and the black “bandit” mask.
T-Rac has been around for a while, too. WKRN reported that he debuted in 1999, shortly after the franchise moved to Nashville and changed from the Oilers to the Titans. His first appearance came on the sideline during a preseason home game against the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 27, 1999, a game Tennessee won 17-3.
And despite the jokes about how many people forgot he existed, T-Rac has built a pretty solid résumé. WKRN said he has made at least a dozen Pro Bowl appearances over the years, getting selected as one of the NFL mascots invited to the league’s all-star event.
Not every team even has a mascot at all. Sports Illustrated confirmed that four NFL franchises still operate without an official one: the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Giants, and New York Jets. That puts Tennessee ahead of a few clubs just by showing up with one.
In the AFC South, though, the competition is real. The Indianapolis Colts’ mascot, Blue, just won back-to-back NFL Mascot of the Year awards, giving him five total.
So T-Rac has the Pro Bowl appearances, Blue has the trophies, and the division’s mascot battle is very much alive.

Titans Receiver Battle Could Force An Early Saleh Daboll Decision
The Titans receiver room has taken shape quickly under Robert Saleh and Brian Daboll, with Wan'Dale Robinson, 2026 draft pick Carnell Tate and veteran Calvin Ridley giving the offense a clear top end heading into camp. Beyond that core, the rest of the group is fighting for attention, and the competition has already narrowed enough that every practice rep matters for the players trying to stay in the picture.
Bryce Oliver, Xavier Restrepo and K.J. Osborn are among the names still pushing for a place on the roster, and there is enough history and offseason promise in the mix to keep the battle interesting. Even so, the Titans are moving toward a decision point quickly, and the question now is which receiver can separate himself before Saleh and Daboll have to make the call that shapes the rest of the depth chart.

Titans Camp Is About To Decide A Line Question Fans Hate
When veterans report to training camp on July 28, one of the more important jobs on the Titans offensive line will be up for grabs. Tennessee signed Cordell Volson in free agency after he missed the previous season because of an injury, and he will be competing with Jackson Slater, a second-year player who has yet to make a start, for a spot that could shape how the line settles in front of the offense.
The coaching staff plans to spend camp sorting out the competition before naming a starter, which means this is not the kind of question that gets answered quickly. Volson brings experience and a fresh start, while Slater offers the appeal of a younger option still trying to establish himself, and the Titans will spend much of camp figuring out which one gives them the better fit on the right side.
