Anthony Hill Jr. Is Forcing An Early Titans Defensive Decision

Linebacker Anthony Hill Jr.'s instinctive playmaking and adaptability have positioned him as a standout rookie for the Tennessee Titans, hinting at a promising future after an impressive debut against the Seattle Seahawks.

Anthony Hill Jr. is turning Titans training camp buzz into something much louder.

The Tennessee rookie linebacker, taken after the Titans traded up for him in the 2026 NFL Draft, has looked the part from the start. But his performance on Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks pushed the conversation to another level. Against the defending Super Bowl champs, Hill wasn’t just solid - he stood out as the Titans’ best player, or at least right there in that conversation.

Hill’s night included an interception, and afterward he explained the mindset behind the play and the overall showing.

“Like, I’ll say really just trusting my keys, trusting my techniques, and I’ll just let the plays happen. Like, you kind of just do your job, stay in the right spot, and you may make plays. You just got to make them.”

That approach has been showing up all camp. By every account, Hill has been a problem for opposing offenses in practice, flashing the kind of awareness and burst that make coaches take notice. Now those traits are carrying over into games as he settles into the defensive system being built by head coach Robert Saleh and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley.

For now, Hill is still listed behind veteran Cody Barton on the Titans’ depth chart. But that could get harder to hold onto if Hill keeps stacking plays like this one. The more he produces, the tougher it becomes to keep him on the sideline when the regular season arrives.

Titans Just Unveiled A New Look Fans Can Rally Around

The NFLs final wave of rivalry uniforms brought Tennessee a fresh piece of branding to hang onto, and the Titans now know what their new Music City look will be. Built around a Titans Blue helmet, a script logo reading Music City, neon-inspired numbers and a 6-string stripe down the pants, the uniform is meant to lean into the citys identity while giving the team another distinct option in its closet.

Fans will not have to wait long to see it, either. The Titans are scheduled to wear the uniform once in the 2026 season, on Nov. 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it will stay in the rotation for three seasons. For a team always looking for ways to sharpen its image and give its home market something recognizable, this one arrives with a little more style than the average alternate jersey. [Read more 🡒]

Wan'Dale Robinson Injury Scare Drew A Blunt Titans Response

During a joint practice with the Bears, the Titans got a brief scare when wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson left the field to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit from a Chicago player. It was the kind of moment that can quickly change the temperature of a practice, especially in a setting where both teams are trying to get work in without losing a key player to something avoidable.

Titans coach Robert Saleh did not hide his feelings about the play, calling the hit cheap. There was no reported scuffle afterward, but the reaction underscored how little patience Tennessee had for a shot that sent Robinson straight into the protocol conversation and put an otherwise routine joint session in an uncomfortable spotlight.

Titans Have A Growing Concern Behind JC Latham And Dan Moore Jr

The Titans offensive line picture is getting clearer at the top, but the depth behind JC Latham and Dan Moore Jr. is still a real point of attention as roster cuts approach. Swing tackle has become one of the more competitive spots on the roster, and undrafted rookie Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson has given the staff a reason to keep a close eye on him after making a strong push in camp and the preseason.

Austin Deculus, meanwhile, has not separated himself in the same way and has dealt with a tougher run through the summer. With the 53-man deadline looming, Tennessee could still look for help after cuts or even via trade if it wants more certainty at a spot that can turn urgent quickly once injuries hit. [Read more 🡒]
