No Predictions, Just Urgency: Robert Saleh’s Titans Start Camp After Another 3-14 Reset
Saleh will rotate first-, second- and third-team reps as the Titans evaluate the 53 best players, with backup quarterback and special teams roles open.
On Tuesday, Tennessee Titans coach Robert Saleh announced plans to rotate players through all three team levels during training camp to evaluate personnel for the final 53-man roster.
Following a 3-14 season and the firing of coach Brian Callahan, Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi are leading a rebuild using aggressive free agency and a 2025 rookie class to improve the roster.
Starting quarterback Cam Ward will take first-team reps exclusively, while Will Levis, Mitchell Trubisky, and Hendon Hooker compete for the backup position in an open competition Saleh confirmed.
Coaches will focus on "moments" where players outplay their placement, with special teams coordinator John Fassel emphasizing that bottom-of-roster spots will be won through coverage and return unit contributions.
Joint practices with San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago will precede the season opener on September 13 against the New York Jets, testing the roster against playoff-caliber competition.
