Formers Titans Brown, Kern get Super Bowl shot -
Friday, February 3, 2023
The matchup for Super Bowl LVII is now set, and the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs Feb. 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
We’ll wait until next week to reveal our Super Bowl prediction and our four downs keys to the game. But for fans of the Titans, their eyes will mostly be on the Eagles for two good reasons.

How good are the Titans? -
Friday, November 18, 2022
As the Tennessee Titans are just past the midway point of the season, it’s a good time to reflect on where the franchise currently stands.
The Titans’ 6-3 record before the Green Bay game has them firmly in the driver’s seat in the AFC South, having already dispatched the Colts twice, squeaking by the Texans in Houston, and while both Jaguars games are still upcoming, the Jags are being the Jags.

Titans go with rookie Malik Willis as Tannehill's backup QB -
Friday, August 26, 2022
NASHVILLE (AP) — Rookie quarterback Malik Willis' quick learning curve made veteran Logan Woodside dispensable for Tennessee.
The Titans cut Woodside along with 27 other players waived or released Tuesday at the NFL deadline to trim the roster to 53. They also waived injured tight end Tommy Hudson before turning attention to their season opener Sept. 11 hosting the New York Giants.

Titans releasing 3-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern -
Friday, August 26, 2022
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans told three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern on Monday that he will be released, going with an undrafted rookie to replace the man who had been their longest-tenured player.

Offenses struggle during Titans-Cardinals joint workout -
Friday, August 26, 2022
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals tried to make the most of their one practice against each other on Wednesday.
The teams held a joint practice ahead of Saturday night's preseason game. They had agreed to cut their two scheduled workouts to one and limited that session to one-on-one drills and a two-minute team period at the end of practice. Both teams will practice separately on Thursday.
6.
Titans unwilling to force ball to Burks in preseason -
Friday, August 19, 2022
NASHVILLE (AP) — Finding Treylon Burks through two games is more a case of Where's Waldo with the preseason numbers for the Tennessee Titans' first-round pick downright anemic.
Burks has exactly one catch for four yards with a combined four targets this preseason. Because Burks was drafted at No. 18 overall with the selection acquired in the trade sending wide receiver A.J. Brown to Philadelphia, it's very easy to panic after the rookie missed much of the offseason program dealing with asthma and conditioning issues.
7.
Reflective Lewan happy with 8-year Titans run -
Friday, December 17, 2021
Through eight years, Taylor Lewan has had an up-and-down career for the Tennessee Titans.
There have been the highs of Pro Bowl selections and playoff wins and the lows of a season-ending knee injury last year, the terrible seasons at the start of his professional career and plenty of other bumps in the road along the way.
8.
Lewan out vs. Chiefs, Jones questionable -
Friday, October 22, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan will not play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday as he recovers from a concussion.
The Titans also declared Friday that wide receiver Chester Rogers, who ranks second in the NFL averaging 13.3 yards per punt return, and linebacker Monty Rice won't play.

Chiefs at Titans: What to watch -
Friday, October 22, 2021
The Titans are in the midst of a tough stretch of games, first with the Buffalo win and then the Kansas City Chiefs on a short week. The Chiefs, despite a 3-3 record, are a tough out and a top contender.
10.
Titans banged up, resilient, ready to build off 34-31 win -
Friday, October 15, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans just passed their biggest test this season even with an injury report that grows with each passing game.
Call it poise, resiliency or the old cliche of next man up, it certainly helps having the NFL's best rusher in Derrick Henry and a defense with a growing knack for goal-line stands.
11.
Titans' 3-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern on COVID-19 list -
Friday, October 8, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have placed three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Titans LB Dupree: Mind, pride got ahead of knee -
Friday, October 8, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — Outside linebacker Bud Dupree says his mind, and pride, got ahead of his body in his recovery from a torn right ACL.
Blame the eagerness of wanting to make a good impression with his new team, the Tennessee Titans, and introduce himself the right way to a new city and fans.
13.
Titans determined to fix issues protecting QB Ryan Tannehill -
Friday, October 8, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are having serious issues protecting their quarterback.
After being sacked only 24 times all of last season, Ryan Tannehill has been taken down 17 times — most in the NFL through four games. Only Carson Wentz of Indianapolis (35) and New England's Mac Jones (34) have been hit more than Tannehill (32).
14.
Vrabel: Nobody did well enough in loss to Jets -
Friday, October 1, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are banged up, can't protect their quarterback and just lost to a previously winless team.
Yep, there's plenty of blame to go around.
"Nobody did well enough — head coach, assistant coaches, quarterback," coach Mike Vrabel said Monday. "We've been through this before. When you lose, we all have to do more, we all have to be better. I'm confident that we will. So we'll see who we have this week, we'll see who's available and get them ready."
15.
Julio Jones, A.J. Brown, among 6 Titans out vs NY Jets -
Friday, October 1, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — Wide receivers Julio Jones and A.J. Brown are among six Titans who won't play Sunday against the New York Jets.
The Titans declared both of the Pro Bowl receivers out along with outside linebacker Bud Dupree, who didn't play despite being dressed last week against the Colts. Also out is three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern and rookie cornerback Caleb Farley.
16.
Titans sign another punter with 3-time Pro Bowler Kern hurt -
Friday, October 1, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans already have a second replacement kicker on the roster with the first on injured reserve, and now they have a second punter.
Three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern was limited Wednesday with an injured right groin muscle that kept him from practicing Thursday. So the Titans signed punter Johnny Townsend to the roster Thursday.
17.
Titans vs. Colts: What to watch -
Friday, September 24, 2021
It’s Colts week in Tennessee, and here’s what the Titans must do to take control of the AFC South.
First down
Play defense like the second half vs. Seattle. Other than one 68-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Freddie Swaim, the Titan defense shut out the Seahawks during the final 30 minutes and in overtime.
18.
Titans believe they found themselves on road in OT comeback -
Friday, September 17, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have done enough talking. In rallying for an overtime victory on the road, they may have found the formula to help defend their AFC South title.
Derrick Henry and the Titans piled up 532 yards in rallying from a 15-point deficit at halftime and 14 points in the final 13:06 of regulation. Henry scored two of his three touchdowns to force overtime, and a maligned defense came through for a 33-30 overtime win in Seattle.
19.
NFL roster spots are for the great or versatile -
Friday, September 10, 2021
I first heard the term, “the more you can do,” from the late Floyd Reese, former Titans general manager, when I first started covering the Titans and the NFL.
Now a quarter century later, you’ll still hear that phrase spring forth from the Titans administration, including current general manager Jon Robinson and head coach Mike Vrabel. It came into play again last week when roster cuts were finalized.
20.
Few veterans on hand in latest stage of Titans' offseason -
Friday, May 28, 2021
NASHVILLE (AP) — No Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry or A.J. Brown on offense nor safety Kevin Byard from the defense.
21.
Chasing AFC South title, 10 wins not enough for Titans -
Friday, December 18, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans insist they aren't satisfied with much bigger goals than simply winning 10 games for the first time in 12 seasons.
They keep this up, returning to the AFC championship game could be only a stop on the way.
22.
Run-game fans will love matchup with Browns -
Friday, December 4, 2020
There was a time when a Titans-Browns matchup would have been a battle of NFL dregs. But times have changed, and now both are solidly in contention for playoffs berths.
The Browns are more likely to find themselves as a wild-card despite owning the same 8-3 record the as the AFC South-leading Titans. That’s because Cleveland is in the AFC North with the Steelers, who have jumped out to a 10-0 lead. Here are the keys for the Titans to topple the visitors from Cleveland Sunday.
23.
Rebounding vs. Ravens requires some quick fixes -
Friday, November 20, 2020
First down: What the heck is up on special teams? The Titans have used three punters in three weeks, thanks mostly to Brett Kern’s injury. But why deactivate Ryan Allen and go with Trevor Daniel?
24.
Sagging Titans back to work, currently outside playoff spot -
Friday, November 13, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — Not only have the Tennessee Titans lost three of their past four games, they returned to work Monday among six AFC teams with 6-3 records.
They're also the first team out looking in at the AFC's playoff picture.
25.
Special teams miscues cost Titans in 34-17 loss to Colts -
Friday, November 13, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — Coming into this season, the Tennessee Titans had only two punters since 1998. Now they've gone through three, plus two long snappers, in as many games.
All that instability showed Thursday night.
26.
Looking back, ahead at Titans’ unusual season -
Friday, November 13, 2020
With the Titans having a short week and a Thursday night game against the Indianapolis Colts, we will forego the usual four downs and the usual game-plan slant. Instead, we will examine four areas regarding Tennessee’s season thus far.

Titans atop AFC South, right where they wanted to be at midpoint -
Friday, November 6, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are exactly where they wanted to be, sitting atop the AFC South with their playoff fate firmly in their hands.
The Titans learned the importance of needing to at least start the postseason at home after being forced to win three straight road games to reach the AFC championship last January before losing to the Chiefs.
28.
Titans snap 2-game losing streak, beat skidding Bears 24-17 -
Friday, November 6, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — Coach Mike Vrabel has been warning his Tennessee Titans they had reached a crossroads after losing back-to-back games.
Ryan Tannehill threw two touchdown passes, and the banged-up Tennessee Titans responded Sunday by never trailing in beating the Chicago Bears 24-17.
29.
Bengals start fast, find combination to close out Titans -
Friday, October 30, 2020
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals started fast again Sunday. This time, rookie quarterback Joe Burrow also delivered the finishing touch.
After watching Giovani Bernard and Samaje Perine run for early scores, Burrow threw two fourth-quarter TD passes and closed out the victory by leading a drive that used up most of the final six minutes to seal the Bengals' 31-20 victory over Tennessee.
30.
Titans' comeback magic runs out in 27-24 loss to Steelers -
Friday, October 23, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans had grown so used to rallying late in winning four of their first five games that they expected to do just that once again.
Then Stephen Gostkowski's 45-yard field goal to force overtime slipped wide right, providing a painful reminder that comeback magic doesn't always work.
31.
Even Pro Bowler Kern concerned about readiness -
Friday, September 4, 2020
Coming off three consecutive Pro Bowl seasons and a first-team, All-Pro selection in 2019, you wouldn’t think Titans punter Brett Kern would need much preparation for the upcoming season – even during a pandemic.
32.
Titans trade 5-time Pro Bowl lineman Casey to Denver -
Friday, March 13, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans kept their starting offense together with only one exception before the start of free agency.
The defense will look very different.
The Titans traded five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jurrell Casey to the Denver Broncos on Wednesday for a seventh-round draft pick, two people confirmed to The Associated Press. That came a day after the Titans agreed to terms with defensive end Vic Beasley Jr. on a one-year deal to boost their outside pass rush.
33.
Titans send Casey to Broncos for 7th-round pick -
Friday, March 13, 2020
The Denver Broncos have acquired five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jurrell Casey from the Tennessee Titans for a seventh-round draft pick.

Which Vrabel will we see directing the defense? -
Friday, February 14, 2020
The Tennessee Titans and coach Mike Vrabel have finalized the coaching staff for 2020 with two intriguing moves.
First, Vrabel brought in Jim Haslett, who has 24 years of NFL experience and last worked for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018, to coach inside linebackers.
36.
With Henry, Titans ready to mash through playoffs -
Friday, January 3, 2020
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have made it clear they are very willing to mash their way through the postseason with the NFL's top rusher leading the way.
Derrick Henry followed up his career-best 1,540 yards in 15 games in the regular season with the best postseason running performance in franchise history with 182 yards. The Titans (10-7) are more than happy going a bit old school with Henry, a stingy defense and an All Pro punter in stunning the New England Patriots 20-13 on Saturday night.
37.
Titans lose chance to control playoff future in AFC South -
Friday, December 13, 2019
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans had a chance to seize control of the AFC South, a division they haven't won in a decade.
Yet again, they found a way both early and late to let the opportunity slip through their fingers.
38.
The science of perfect placekick hold -
Friday, December 13, 2019
It seems like one of the simplest jobs in football, but in reality it involves physics, geometry and even some meteorology to do it right.
That job is being the holder on field goals and extra points, and Titans Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern has become quite adept at his “other job” over the years as the guy who gets the ball down for Titans kicker Ryan Succop.
39.
Vrabel can’t keep asking defense to bail him out -
Friday, November 1, 2019
The most interesting aspect of Tennessee Titans games is turning out to be Mike Vrabel’s weekly play-call gamble, which usually backfires, and whether the Titans’ defense can get him off the hook.

Titans force 4 turnovers by Winston, hold off Tampa Bay -
Friday, October 25, 2019
NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are very happy their stingy defense came up with four turnovers and another late-game stop.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers leave town ticked off over an inadvertent whistle that cost them a fumble return after stopping Tennessee's fake punt in the final minutes.
41.
‘Good Titans’ have clear path to win vs. Bills -
Friday, October 4, 2019
About the only thing we know about the Tennessee Titans is that they are consistently inconsistent.
They have two road wins against high-powered offenses and two division losses to two mediocre teams.
42.
Kern's take on his 5 Titan coaches -
Friday, August 2, 2019
When outside linebacker Derrick Morgan retired a few weeks ago, it left punter Brett Kern as the longest tenured Titan, having been claimed off waivers from Denver six weeks into the 2009 season.
Kern and Morgan also hold another distinction as they are the only two players in the Titans era to have played for all five coaches from Jeff Fisher to Mike Vrabel in Tennessee.
43.
Kicking duo more than footnote in Titan history -
Friday, August 2, 2019
Except for one game – Oct. 11, 2009 – when the Tennessee Titans were in the midst of an 0-6 start, only two men have ever served as punters for the home team in what is now Nissan Stadium.

Friday, March 8, 2019
NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans punter Brett Kern has agreed to terms on a multi-year contract extension.

Vegan burgers? Cheesesteaks? Titans swear by them -
Friday, November 23, 2018
Game days are always special for the Tennessee Titans, but for the 15 team members on the vegan plant-based meal plan of Chef Charity Morgan, “Burger Fridays” rank pretty high, too.
“The biggest thing I love are the burgers. She does a great job with the burgers. Unbelievable,” veteran defensive tackle Jurrell Casey says.

Eagles at Titans: What to watch -
Friday, September 28, 2018
After two improbable division wins with a short-handed team – especially on offense – the Titans have to feel like they are playing with house money going into Week 4. The next challenge doesn’t get any easier as the world champion Philadelphia Eagles (Eight months after the Super Bowl, it still seems strange to type that) come to town. Here are some keys for the Titans in what will likely be another uphill challenge.

NFL longevity a snap for veteran Brinkley -
Friday, September 28, 2018
Beau Brinkley has one of the most anonymous jobs in the NFL.
And that is just how the Titans long snapper likes it.
“I would definitely agree with that,” says Brinkley who is in his seventh season as the Titans’ long snapper. “That’s another reason I enjoy the job. I’m just kind of an under the radar type of guy. I just kind of keep to myself. It just kind of sticks to the position, and I enjoy it.”

Friday, August 31, 2018

Friday, December 22, 2017

Friday, December 22, 2017
Wesley Woodyard vs. Todd Gurley. After struggling last year, Gurley is back and is even picking up some chatter as an MVP candidate.

Most valuable Titans – so far -
Friday, November 17, 2017
What players have had the biggest impact on the Titans 2017 turnaround? Here are the top five, in no particular order:
LB Wesley Woodyard
When a guy is in his 10th season, he’s supposed to be on the downhill side of his NFL career. Not Woodyard.

Friday, October 20, 2017

Titans confident they can clean up mistakes before opener -
Friday, August 25, 2017
NASHVILLE (AP) — The clock is ticking for the Tennessee Titans, who have had two ugly preseason losses and need to clean up what coach Mike Mularkey says are too many mistakes.
The Titans insist they're not worried, even with the season opener against Oakland looming on Sept. 10.

Titaned up: Success found in big moves, tiniest details -
Friday, December 30, 2016
Most critics of last year’s Tennessee Titans saw unsettled ownership, a revolving door of coaches and a lack of talent at key positions. Jon Robinson saw weeds.
As the newly hired general manager made his way around St. Thomas Sports Park, he noticed a patch of weeds growing next to the building. It was an oversight by groundskeepers and probably didn’t faze others people who made their way in and out of the building.

Fisher, other familiar faces return for preseason play -
Friday, August 21, 2015
The Tennessee Titans welcome back a familiar face Sunday night when Jeff Fisher rolls back into Nashville as coach of the St. Louis Rams.

Hentrich helps keep 'best punter in the league’ grounded -
Friday, October 19, 2012
The one element of the Tennessee Titans season that has been dependable thus far this season has been special teams.
