Tennessee Titans prepare for season opener against New York Jets

The Tennessee Titans face the New York Jets this Sunday at Nissan Stadium for the start of the 2026 NFL season. Linebacker Cedric Gray will miss the contest as he remains in concussion protocol following a UTV accident over the weekend. Wide receiver Elic Ayomanor noted that the team feels prepared to navigate challenges after building collective resilience throughout the preseason training camp. The Titans look to improve on their performance from the previous two seasons under the Brian Callahan regime. The addition of an experienced coaching staff led by Robert Saleh is expected to help the roster respond more effectively to in-game adversity. Ayomanor emphasized that mental preparation has been a primary focus for the players during the offseason as they look to secure a win in the season opener.
