The Tennessee Titans made several strong moves on the offensive side of the ball this offseason under new general manager Mike Borgonzi.
Tennessee's recent additions are highlighted by rookie quarterback Cam Ward, who will be tasked with turning around a Titans team that won three games in 2024.
Despite the defense being a strength last year, however, several questions surround the unit ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
Perhaps no concern is stronger than the one around $76 million cornerback L'Jarius Sneed and his injury, which caused him to play in just five games last season and miss the team's offseason program this year.
Fortunately, head coach Brian Callahan and the team's coaches do not seem particularly concerned with Sneed's injury. Titans reporter Easton Freeze highlighted this sentiment in his recent mailbag.
"Internally, the message has been very consistent all offseason: they aren’t very worried about [Sneed] returning to form," Freeze wrote. "They like him a lot as a leader in that room and they’re expecting him back in a big way. It’s kind of shocking how unconcerned they seem when I talk to them, frankly."
Sneed got hurt in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts last season and never returned to the lineup. This was especially disappointing because the team signed him to a hefty extension last offseason after trading a draft pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for his talents.
After recording 10 interceptions and 40 passes defended in his first four seasons with the Chiefs, Sneed did not record a single interception or pass defended in five games with the Titans.
He did collect 23 tackles, including two for a loss, but expectations for his production will be much higher ahead of the 2025 season.
Fortunately, all signs are pointing toward him being healthy for training camp, and he should be ready to hit the ground running in Week 1 when the Titans take on the Denver Broncos on the road.
