There is some positive news on the injury front for the Titans.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, receiver Wan’Dale Robinson is not believed to have suffered a concussion after he was hit during a joint practice with the Bears this week.
While the team will continue to monitor Robinson, the early indications have been positive.
Titans head coach Robert Saleh called out Chicago safety Xavier Woods for what he termed a “cheap” hit.
Woods played for the Titans in 2025 and was released shortly after the club hired Saleh earlier this year.
Robinson, 25, signed a four-year deal with Tennessee in March, reuniting with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who previously served as Giants head coach. A second-round pick in 2022, Robinson appeared in 54 games for New York over his first four seasons. He caught 92 passes for 1,014 yards with four touchdowns in 2025.
Titans head coach Robert Saleh gave an update on wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson after Robinson made an early exit from Thursday’s joint practice with the Bears.
Saleh said that Robinson is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit from Bears safety Xavier Woods during the session. The hit drew a response from Robinson’s teammates on the field and from Saleh while he was at the podium for his press conference.
Saleh called the hit by Woods “cheap.” Woods played for the Titans last season and was released shortly after Saleh was hired this year. Robinson signed with the Titans as a free agent in March.
Robinson will go into the concussion protocol if doctors find he suffered a concussion Thursday. That would keep him out for several days, but would leave ample time for him to be cleared before Week 1.
The Titans made a change to their linebacker group ahead of their final preseason game.
They announced the signing of Dyonte Johnson on Tuesday. He takes the roster spot previously held by Dominique Hampton, who has been waived with an injury designation.
Johnson signed with the Giants after going undrafted in 2023 and played in two games for them during the 2024 season. He had 11 tackles during those appearances and most recently saw action in the UFL.
Hampton signed with the Titans earlier this month. He entered the league as a 2024 fifth-round pick in Washington and played in one game during his rookie season.
The NFL’s second wave of “Rivalries” uniforms were unveiled on Tuesday.
All the teams from the NFC North and AFC South will wear the uniforms at some point during the 2026 season for a home game against a divisional opponent. They can be worn for games during the 2027 and 2028 seasons as well.
The first game to feature the new threads will come in Week 3 when the Colts don their new “Anvil Strike” look against the Texans. The Packers will debut their alternates in Week 5 against the Bears while Week 8 will see both the Jaguars and Lions throw on the new uniforms.
Week 10 will bring the Titans into the fold and the Texans will sport their alternate look when the Colts visit in Week 11. The Vikings will debut their rivalry outfits against the Lions in Week 15 and the Bears will be the last team to join the fun when they host Green Bay in Week 16.
The Titans scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to end Sunday night’s preseason game against the Seahawks with a win, but head coach Robert Saleh said the team’s early performance left something to be desired in a postgame press conference.
Cam Ward started at quarterback for the second straight week and led the team to a field goal on their first drive, but failed to convert a fourth-and-1 on their second possession and fumbled on a sack to help set up a punt on his final series. Ward was 8-of-12 for 69 yards through the air before exiting the game.
All of that came against Seahawks backups and Saleh said that any of the good things that happened don’t outweigh the need for the entire operation to improve.
“I thought the first drive was good, we went out there and got some points,” Saleh said. “Thought Cam, again, was good with the ball, good decision-making. We just couldn’t connect on a couple of deep throws, but, overall, it’s got to be better. I’m not trying to sugarcoat it. It does got to be better, but at the same time, there’s always going to be things that we can take from.”
It’s a bit better than Saleh’s review of Ward’s first preseason outing, but the Titans will need the progress to pick up for the offense to get where they want it to be for Week 1 against the Jets.
