The Tennessee Titans selected Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Singleton brings rare straight-line speed for his size and a slashing style. He’s also one of the top pass-catching backs. Penn State never unleashed him as a true workhorse, but he did play alongside four-star recruit Kaytron Allen. The duo split carries near-evenly across 2022-23 before Allen led 15.3 to 10.9 over the past two seasons. That’s concerning for Singleton’s usage projection. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Singleton ranked 18th in 2025 rushing market share (25.8%), and in yards after contact per attempt (2.69). He ranked 19th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.15) and fifth in receiving yards per route run (1.52). He is currently 22 years old.

The Titans drafted Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr. in the second round Saturday. Hill spent nearly two-and-a-half years starting for the Longhorns and made an impact all three seasons. He proved particularly adept at making plays coming forward, evidenced by his 17 career sacks and 31.5 tackles for loss.

The Titans traded up to 31st overall to select DL Keldric Faulk in the draft. Faulk spent three years at Auburn, with 2024 easily his most productive: 45 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 7 sacks.

The Titans selected Ohio State WR Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tate showcased elite hands in 2025, finishing with zero drops and leading the class in contested-catch success: 12 catches among 14 targets. Tate finished his junior season with 51 catches for 875 yards and 9 TDs, limited by the presence of All-American teammate Jeremiah Smith. Still, 2025 was a clear success. Tate averaged 3.02 yards per route run and 17.2 yards per catch, showing the ability to stretch coverage vertically. Tate didn’t run well at the Combine (4.53-second 40-yard dash, 1.61-second 10-yard split), but his tape shows plenty of play speed.

Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton has gained clearance to return from the foot injury that halted his predraft work during Senior Bowl week, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Singleton broke the fifth metatarsal (commonly known as a "Jones fracture") in his right foot during Senior Bowl practices but has already resumed running.

Titans HC Robert Saleh briefly updated the status of QB Cam Ward. "I am not going to put a timetable on anything, but he is progressing really well." Ward avoided surgery for a Week 18 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder.

WR Wan'Dale Robinson signed a 4-year, $70m deal with the Titans. He will join OC Brian Daboll. Daboll was the HC of the Giants, drafting Robinson in 2022. Expect Robinson to be utilized in a similar role to Daboll's system on the Giants with heavy volume out of the slot. With the lack of WR depth on the Titans, Robinson sits as the early favorite to lead the team in targets.

Ohio State WR Carnell Tate clocked an official 4.53-second 40-yard dash at the Combine. That lands him in the 35th percentile among all WRs to run at the Combine since 1999. At 192 pounds, Tate earned a 47th-percentile Speed Score.

The Jets are trading Edge Jermaine Johnson to the Titans for DT T'Vondre Sweat, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The swap will officially process once the new league year begins at 4 p.m. on March 11. Johnson arrived as a first-round pick in 2022 and heads into the final year of his rookie contract (the exercised club option). Tennessee drafted Sweat in the second round in 2024. Two years remain on his initial contract. New Titans HC Robert Saleh served in that role for the Jets when they drafted Johnson (and then until New York fired him in the first half of 2024).

Former Penn State RB Nick Singleton broke a bone in his right foot on Thursday during a Senior Bowl practice. He’ll undergo surgery. The news comes from Singleton’s father, via reporter Rich Scarcella of the Reading Eagle. Singleton’s excellent athleticism made him a potential riser at the NFL Combine, but now he won’t take part in on-field drills. We’ll track his rehab throughout the offseason.

Former Giants HC Brian Daboll is set to become the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Daboll found success as the Bills’ OC from 2018 to 2021 before joining the Giants. His development of Josh Allen made him an ideal OC hire. He will coach second-year QB Cam Ward and attempt to develop him into a franchise quarterback.

The Titans have chosen 49ers DC Robert Saleh to become the next head coach, according to multiple reports. Saleh's 2025 in San Francisco followed 3+ seasons as the head man for the Jets. He went 20-36 over that span, topping out at 7-10 in both 2022 and 2023. New York dumped him after five games in 2024. Before that, Saleh coordinated the San Francisco defense for another four years, beginning with Kyle Shanahan's first year at the helm (2017).

Titans QB Cam Ward suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ward won't need surgery and will be "perfectly fine" for the offseason, Rapoport adds. Ward struggled through much of his rookie season on a bad Tennessee offense. But he flashed late in the year, tossing two TDs in each of his final four healthy games. Ward is a hold in dynasty formats and could be an intriguing late-round QB target in 2026 fantasy drafts. We'll see who the Titans tab to run the offense going forward -- and what the team adds to the pass-catching corps.

Titans QB Cam Ward suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars and is questionable to return. He's been replaced by QB Brandon Allen. We'll update Ward's status when we know more. He's had a promising finish to his rookie season and could be an intriguing QB2 target in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Update: Ward has been ruled out.

Titans TE Gunnar Helm (toe) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s been basically splitting routes with TE Chig Okonkwo lately, so the rookie’s absence should mean a boost in playing time for Okonkwo. He’s a very viable Week 18 fantasy start.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (rib) and TE Theo Johnson (illness) are out for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That leaves New York without its top two targets. Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins will lead the WR room, with Daniel Bellinger handling lead TE duties. The matchup against Dallas makes those guys more intriguing fantasy options. QB Jaxson Dart's Week 18 outlook takes a hit sans Robinson and Johnson.

Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson (ribs) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's looking iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys, but we'll see how Robinson is listed on Friday's final injury report.

Titans RB Tony Pollard racked up 161 yards and 2 TDs on a season-high 25 carries in Sunday's narrow victory over the Browns. The game marked the first time since Week 5 that Pollard found the end zone or rushed more than 11 times. His production relied heavily on TD runs of 65 and 32 yards, which accounted for 60.3% of his rushing yardage for the game. Pollard averaged just 2.8 yards across his other 23 attempts, which falls much more in line with the Cleveland rushing matchup for the year.

Titans WR Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He missed Week 12 and was limited in practice all this week. Ayomanor is not a recommended fantasy start, although his return dings WR Chimere Dike’s outlook.

Titans WR Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The rookie ends up missing just one game with his hamstring injury. Ayomanor has averaged 6.0 targets over his last five games -- but just 2.8 catches and 33 yards. He's not a recommended Week 13 fantasy play coming off the hamstring.
