The Tennessee Titans aim to drastically improve their pass protection after tying for the fifth-most sacks allowed in 2024. The front office bolstered the offensive line to help protect Cam Ward by signing Dan Moore Jr. and Kevin Zeitler. JC Latham will return to right tackle, his natural position, while Peter Skoronski looks to break out in Year 3.
The Titans also hope their center is healthy by the start of the season.
Tennessee Titans’ center suffered a significant injury
Lloyd Cushenberry III had a rough first season with Tennessee before a significant injury prematurely ended it. He allowed 14 pressures, one quarterback hit, and zero sacks while posting a 57.2 pass-blocking grade and a 55.4 overall PFF grade in eight starts. Unfortunately, Cushenberry sustained a torn Achilles in Week 9 against the New England Patriots, typically carrying a six-to-twelve-month recovery time.
As a result, the $50 million center has missed offseason workouts and OTAs.
Tennessee Titans’ $50 million starter returns to practice
The Titans began mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, which will run through Thursday. Lloyd Cushenberry III attended Tuesday’s practice, which is a positive sign regarding his recovery from the injury and availability for training camp. However, Cushenberry did not participate in team drills but took part in stretches and individual exercises, according to Jim Wyatt of the team’s website.
