Tennessee Titans Offensive Preview: Will Cam Ward bring the Titans back to life?

Blank Placeholder  Image.png

The Titans were one of the worst offensive teams in the NFL last season, which was ultimately their demise and reaffirmed their current rebuild. The Titans finished at the bottom in almost every offensive category last year: points, yards, total plays, pass yards ... you name it, and they struggled with it.


However, with Cam Ward taking over as the QB and some good offseason acquisitions. The Titans are poised to have a bounce-back season in 2025, as we look at their depth chart for the 53-man roster.


QB: Cam Ward, Brandon Allen


The Titans have better quality quarterbacks than they did a year ago, as they will have Ward and Allen running the offense. Allen brings more than eight years of NFL experience, including five years of regular-season experience.


He will serve as a great mentor for Ward and will help him develop throughout the season. There is no doubt that there will be growing pains for Ward, but I think Titans fans have to be excited about the future of their team, and Ward will give them that confidence.


RB: Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut, Kalel Mullings


The Titans' running back room looks a little different to start the year, as Tyjae Spears will be on the IR with a high ankle sprain. Pollard totaled 1300+ yards last year and will get a heavy load of the run game to start the year.


The surprise for the Titans is going to be backup running back Julius Chestnut. Chestnut has been on the Titans' roster for a few years now and has served as a reserve back. He now has the chance to make a name for himself as he will get a solid number of snaps going forward.


The Titans will have some solid running backs, as they will help establish a run game for their young QB.


WR: Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, Tyler Lockett, Bryce Oliver, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike


The Titans' wide receiver room has a lot of what-ifs this season as they bring on five new wideouts. Ridley is the only returner as he looks for another 1,000-yard season. The Titans bring in veteran wideouts in Lockett and Jefferson, and both will begin new chapters in their careers.


The other three receivers are all questionable: Oliver, Ayomanor, and Dike are young, and two of them are unproven rookies. Although I have high hopes for both Ayomanor and Dike, the Titans may have a lot of issues at the receiver position this year, which could impact them long-term going forward.


TE: Chig Okonkwo, Gunnar Helm, David Martin-Robinson


The Titans improved at the tight end position as they drafted Helm in the 2025 draft. They will pair him with 3rd-year tight end Okonkwo in hopes of redefining their offense.


Okonkwo has been solid in his first few seasons, but he needs more involvement. Helm will help with that, as he will block more and draw in the better defenders when he is out there. If the Titans are running two tight end sets, this will give Okonkwo a better opportunity to become a playmaker and give Ward another option on offense.


OL: C Lloyd Cushenberry, LG Peter Skoronski, LT Dan Moore Jr., RG Kevin Zeitler, RT JC Latham, C/G Corey Levin, OL Blake Hance, G Jackson Slater, T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, T John Ojukwu, T Olisaemeka Udoh


We end the preview with the Titans' offensive line, which is looking like their weakness this year. They have some solid players with Cushenberry and Skoronski, but there are still some holes to fill for the o-line.


Latham has battled injuriess this preseason and will hopefully be ready for the season opener. Cushenberry is coming off an Achilles injury, and Levin has struggled the last few years with the Titans. Moore Jr. and Zeitler will be making their debut with the Titans, and this could be the pickup the Titans need.


If the Titans' offensive line can hold up, they will be competitive this season and compete for a playoff spot. Time will tell whether or not the Titans will have enough firepower this season to compete, or if they will once again pick high in the 2026 draft.
