Tennessee Titans prepare to integrate 2026 rookie class for season opener

The Tennessee Titans enter their September 13 season opener against the New York Jets with a roster featuring several rookies expected to contribute early. Following a 2025 campaign that saw high snap counts for first-year players, the team plans to continue relying on its draft class at Nissan Stadium. Wide receiver Carnell Tate projects as a starter, while Fernando Carmona Jr. earned the starting right guard position. Defensive end Keldric Faulk and linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. are also expected to see rotational roles, with Hill potentially taking on increased snaps due to injury adjustments. Running back Nick Singleton will likely provide depth in short-distance situations, while tight end Jaren Kanak remains sidelined on injured reserve for the season.
