# Tennessee Titans 2026 season preparations > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/tennessee-titans-2026-season-preparations > Updated: 2026-09-10T01:03:49.000Z. Sources: 10. Developments: 4. The Tennessee Titans are undergoing a significant organizational overhaul led by General Manager Mike Borgonzi in preparation for the 2026 NFL season. Following a 3-14 rookie season for quarterback Cam Ward, the franchise has appointed former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh to lead the team, supported by offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. To improve competitiveness in the AFC South, the team has bolstered its roster through the draft and free agency. Key additions include the No. 4 overall pick, wide receiver Carnell Tate, and pass rusher Keldric Faulk. The roster also features new signings such as wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, tight end Daniel Bellinger, and defensive players John Franklin-Myers and Solomon Thomas. Running back Tony Pollard remains a central figure following his 1,082 rushing yards in 2025. As the team prepares for its season opener against the New York Jets on September 13, attention has turned to the matchup between Cam Ward and the Jets' defense. Jets linebacker and No. 2 overall draft pick David Bailey described Ward as ‘extremely elusive’ and noted the team has developed a group effort plan to contain him. On the offensive side, rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate is expected to play despite a preseason without receptions. Head coach Robert Saleh expressed confidence in the rookie, stating that Tate is ready for the matchup and is not listed on the team's injury report. ## Claims - The Tennessee Titans finished the 2025 season with a 3-14 record.
