The Titans’ 2026 outlook keeps coming back to the same place: the offensive line.
There’s plenty to like around it. Brian Daboll is now running the offense, Cam Ward “has the goods,” and the receiver group finally looks like it has some real life. But the front five may decide whether this season feels like a step forward or another year of waiting for more.
Fantasy Points, the analytics-driven platform, released its 2026 offensive line rankings and placed Tennessee 27th out of 32 teams. That’s not only near the bottom of the league, it’s also a drop from where the Titans were ranked last preseason, when Brian Callahan was still in charge and his father, Bill, was coaching the offensive line.
The biggest question mark sits on the edges. Moore is coming off a season that didn’t inspire much confidence, and after getting paid last year, he’s now facing what looks like a true make-or-break year. The hope is simple: if he can settle in as an average tackle, that would be a win.
On the other side, Skoronski is the one lineman who doesn’t seem to be carrying the same level of concern. He’s described as developing into a true All-Pro-caliber player.
J.C. Latham also needs to take a step, especially in pass protection, even though the run-game power is already there.
The interior brings even more uncertainty. Schlottmann appears to have the inside track at center because of his familiarity with Daboll’s system from their time with the Giants, and that familiarity matters. Volson, meanwhile, is a wild card after missing the entire 2025 season.
There’s also a lingering thought about whether the Titans should try to bring back Kevin Zeitler. The idea is presented as a personal hope, with the suggestion that GM Mike Borgonzi may already have sent the “you up?”
text to check on a possible return. It’s framed as speculation, but the point is clear: Zeitler could change the feel of this group.
With camp getting closer, though, the chance to make that happen seems to be shrinking.
Even with the low ranking, the overall view isn’t bleak. Daboll’s track record suggests the offense should be more watchable, and Ward’s ceiling at quarterback is higher than what Titans fans have seen in a long time. If the line can climb toward the middle of the pack, there’s a belief this team could make some noise late in the season.
Still, the offensive line remains the part of the roster people are quickest to overlook, even though it’s the one that can swing the whole thing.

Titans Suddenly Have A Worrying Femi Oladejo Problem Again
Femi Oladejos first spring with the Titans was supposed to be about getting a head start on a major position change, but a hamstring injury kept him out of those practices and slowed the process before it really got rolling. The second-round pick is being asked to move from 3-4 outside linebacker to a 3-4 defensive end role, which makes every rep valuable as Tennessee tries to see how quickly his game can translate.
Robert Saleh said the real development for Oladejo will come once training camp opens on July 29 and the pads go on, which is where the Titans will finally get a better read on the rookies fit. For a player already trying to learn a new spot, the missed spring work only adds to the pressure to make up ground fast when camp begins. [Read more 🡒]
Titans Finally Enter Camp Without Their Biggest Cornerback Burden
Training camp arrives with the Titans no longer carrying the same cornerback uncertainty that has shadowed them since L'Jarius Sneed came aboard. The expectation was that he would stabilize the secondary, but recurring knee and lower-body injuries kept him from becoming the dependable presence Tennessee had envisioned, and the team spent too much of the last two seasons trying to work around his availability.
Sneeds limited time on the field forced the Titans to think differently about how they build the position, and the result is a roster that looks better equipped to absorb setbacks. Even if the cornerback room still has plenty to prove, Tennessee enters camp with more depth and a little less pressure to have one player carry the entire burden. [Read more 🡒]
This Under The Radar Titans Defender Suddenly Feels Too Important To Ignore
Jaylen Harrell spent much of 2025 in a rotational edge role, but he made the kind of late push that tends to linger in a coaching staffs memory. Over the final five games, he piled up five sacks while also handling a heavy special teams load, logging 228 snaps and giving Tennessee value in more than one phase.
Now the challenge is less about what Harrell showed than where he fits. He enters 2026 training camp fighting for a roster spot in a crowded edge group, with Jermaine Johnson, Keldric Faulk and Femi Oladejo all in the mix and Jacob Martin also potentially part of the conversation. Harrell has already made himself harder to overlook, but the Titans still have to decide whether that late-season surge was enough to carve out a real place in the rotation. [Read more 🡒]
