Titans rookie Carnell Tate ends preseason with no receptions
Summary

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate finished the preseason without a catch. After an encouraging start during offseason workouts and a successful joint practice against the Chicago Bears, Tate was unable to convert his potential into production in game situations. He was targeted three times in the first two preseason games, including his only attempt in the finale against Chicago, where he could not secure the ball. Fans have expressed concern over his lack of performance, with some questioning the decision to draft him fourth overall. Despite the struggles, Titans coaches continue to adhere to their belief in Tate's abilities, citing his strong college performance.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate made an immediate impression when he first took the field during OTAs and continued to build on that momentum throughout minicamp. He also displayed plenty of promise early in training camp, but his preseason performances have failed to produce the kind of statistical start the Titans and their fans were hoping for.
