Training camp is about to give the Tennessee Titans a much clearer picture, and a few roster battles already feel like they’re heading toward a decision.
The biggest one could be at quarterback. Will Levis has been sitting in trade speculation for months, and with the Titans having drafted Cam Ward, his path in Nashville looks shaky.
Mitchell Trubisky already came in this offseason and won the QB2 job, which only adds to the sense that Levis is the odd man out. Still, the prediction here is that Levis puts together a strong camp and preseason, enough to finally draw a late-round pick in return.
At this point, getting anything for him would count as a win.
There’s also a real fight brewing along the offensive line, and the right guard spot looks like the one to watch. Cordell Volson, Jackson Slater and rookie Fernando Carmona are in the mix, but Slater gets the nod in this forecast. He has the edge of being in Year 2 with the team, and he already showed enough in limited rookie action to suggest he can separate himself once camp ramps up.
At wide receiver, the Titans may have more worthy candidates than spots available, which makes the final roster call tricky. Xavier Restrepo led the group in catches this summer, but that still isn’t enough in this projection.
Bryce Oliver is viewed as the stronger special teams option, and that extra value is what pushes him ahead. Restrepo can clearly catch the ball, but Oliver brings production on offense and special teams, and that combination wins out.
On the edge, Femi Oladejo has had a difficult stretch. A serious injury limited him to six games as a rookie, and a hamstring issue kept him out of the offseason program.
That slide opens the door for Jacob Martin, who has been a steady pass rusher and fits Robert Saleh’s system. The prediction is that Martin claims the third edge rusher role while Oladejo keeps slipping down the depth chart.
Linebacker could bring another rookie breakthrough. The Titans used the 2026 draft to take Anthony Hill Jr. in the second round, and that selection made Cody Barton look vulnerable right away.
Barton was underwhelming in 2025, while Hill has the higher ceiling. Even though Hill didn’t flash much this summer, camp is expected to be his moment, with Barton sticking around as veteran depth and Hill taking on a significant role quickly.
Cornerback depth was a concern earlier in the summer, but Micah Robinson and Keydrain Calligan changed that conversation when Cor'Dale Flott and Alontae Taylor were sidelined. Both players made the most of their chances, and the expectation now is that they keep that momentum going through camp. If they do, both should make the final roster.

Titans Tight End Battle Just Got Even Messier Than Expected
The Titans remade their tight end room this offseason after letting Chig Okonkwo walk in free agency and bringing in Daniel Bellinger, a move that fit both the roster reset and Brian Dabolls familiarity with his former player. Gunnar Helm and Bellinger are expected to be the main pieces heading into 2026, but the real intrigue is in how the rest of the depth chart sorts itself out, with several players competing for whatever spots remain.
Kylen Granson is in the mix on a one-year deal, though the limited guarantees leave him with work to do before anything feels secure. David Martin-Robinson has experience in the system and special teams value, while rookie Jaren Kanak adds another layer after making the unusual jump from linebacker to tight end at Oklahoma, where he showed some receiving upside.

One Titans Rookie Is Already Standing Out Before Training Camp
Before training camp even opens, the Titans 2026 rookie class already looks like one of the more interesting parts of the roster build under Robert Saleh. Tennessee used the draft to add help at several spots, bringing in wide receiver Arvell Reese Tate, linebacker Anthony Hill, edge rusher Keldric Faulk, center Pat Coogan and running back Nicholas Singleton, and the early read is that this group could shape the teams depth chart sooner rather than later.
Tate is the one drawing the most immediate attention because of his early chemistry with Cam Ward, even if there are still questions about whether Tennessee reached to get him. Faulk brings the kind of upside that can change a defense over time, Coogan gives the Titans another layer of insurance in the middle, and Singleton arrives with a productive college rsum and a path to carve out a role. The bigger question is which rookie will actually matter most once the games start counting, and that answer may end up telling a lot about how quickly this class can help. [Read more 🡒]
