The Tennessee Titans won their preseason debut 19-13 against the San Francisco 49ers on August 17, 2026. Quarterback Cam Ward struggled, completing less than 50% of his passes, prompting concern among fans. While the starting offensive line performed well, issues were highlighted when depth players entered the game, particularly with Austin Deculus, who allowed two sacks. Rookie Fernando Carmona is trending toward a starting role at right guard, while the Titans may need to evaluate their depth at tackle, especially behind Dan Moore Jr. and JC Latham.
