JC Latham absent from Titans minicamp due to minor injury
Summary

Tennessee Titans right tackle JC Latham is not participating in mandatory minicamp as he deals with a minor injury, according to coach Robert Saleh. Latham was absent during the first day of minicamp on June 16, while veterans like Jeffery Simmons and John Franklin-Myers were present but limited in their reps. The Titans have been cautious with their player workloads this offseason. Latham, a first-round pick in 2024, has started 30 games over two seasons but has previously missed time due to a hip injury. Simmons also has a minor injury, and Saleh plans to reduce his defensive snaps in the upcoming season.
