The full read on the Titans
Written Sun Nov 1, before the Bengals game.
Season so far
Tennessee is 1-6, with a 0-4 home record and a 1-2 road record. Scoring has varied from the 3-26 loss to Houston to the 26-20 win at Indianapolis and the 24-27 loss to Cleveland. The Cleveland game was tied late before Tennessee conceded the deciding field goal.
The read
Tennessee visits Cincinnati at 1-6, with a 0-4 home record and a 1-2 road record. The 26-20 victory at Indianapolis was followed by a 24-27 home loss to Cleveland. Robert Saleh remains the head coach, and Cam Ward is still the listed starting quarterback ahead of Mitchell Trubisky.
Tony Pollard supplied 129 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries against Cleveland. Tennessee tied that game late before conceding the deciding field goal. The Indianapolis win included three defensive takeaways and six sacks. Ward's passing line that day included 102 yards and a touchdown.
The defensive roster has changed since those games. Tennessee announced a deal sending Jeffery Simmons to Chicago for draft selections that include first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. Timmy Horne has joined the active roster, and the club claimed Jonah Laulu after Las Vegas released him. The older depth chart lists Solomon Thomas behind Simmons.
Carnell Tate, Tyjae Spears and Tommy Townsend are out against Cincinnati. Calvin Ridley and John Franklin-Myers remain questionable, so their places in the projected lineup are conditional. Elic Ayomanor is listed behind Tate. Thomas Morstead has joined the practice squad and was expected to be promoted to replace Townsend. Final game-day inactive lists are not confirmed here.
