Titans secondary ranked among the NFL's worst heading into 2026
Summary

Pro Football Focus has ranked the Tennessee Titans' secondary as one of the weakest in the NFL for 2026. Despite offseason additions like Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott, the secondary finished 23rd in passing yards allowed last season. Coverage issues persist, as opposing quarterbacks had a 125.0 passer rating against the unit. Rookie safety Kevin Winston Jr. was highlighted as a bright spot, but overall, the team lacks high-end performers and consistent production. The Titans face a critical year in their rebuild as they look to improve their defensive backfield.
