Titans Training Camp Preview Turns to the Offensive Line With 16 Linemen in the Mix

Tennessee’s position-by-position camp look shifts to the trenches, listing 16 offensive linemen the team will evaluate as training camp approaches.

As Tennessee’s 2026 training camp draws closer, the Titans are working through a position-by-position preview of the roster. In the latest installment, the focus moves to the offensive line, a group expected to play a central role in how the offense protects the quarterback and sustains drives throughout the preseason and into the regular season.

The team’s camp preview centers on a group it lists as “in camp (16)” for this offensive line segment. That list includes offensive tackle Dan Moore, offensive tackle J.C. Latham, and offensive tackle Austin Deculus. It also names Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, Ryan Hayes, Aamil Wagner, and a mix of interior and line-of-scrimmage options that round out Tennessee’s current camp picture for the unit.

On the interior, Tennessee’s preview includes center Austin Schlottmann, center Pat Coogan, and guard Andre James. The list also includes guards Fernando Carmona Jr., Garrett Dellinger, Drew Moss, and Peter Skoronski. Together, those players represent a range of roles, from making early-season start-or-depth decisions at center to competing for guard spots where run blocking and pass protection technique are often tested daily in camp work.

The tackle group in the preview continues with Jackson Slater and Cordell Volson, each identified as a guard or tackle option by the Titans’ labels in the camp list. With training camp primarily designed to sort out continuity and assignments, the Titans will likely use day-to-day repetition to determine which combinations offer the best cohesiveness at the start of preseason play. For an offensive line, that cohesiveness is often more about synchronization than any single individual matchup.

What makes the Titans’ approach notable is that the preview is explicitly position-by-position, rather than a general roster recap. That format indicates the organization’s intent to manage training camp narratives through specific unit needs, and it underscores why the offensive line is being treated as a distinct story line heading into practices, walkthroughs, and camp evaluations.

The most immediate takeaway is the breadth of the group Tennessee is considering for 2026. With 16 offensive linemen listed as part of the camp look for this segment, the Titans are setting up a competitive environment where players can separate themselves through consistency, footwork, and the ability to execute assignment-based football. In camp, those traits tend to show up quickly in one-on-one drills and team reps, even when the broader depth chart remains fluid.

As the camp timeline develops, the next question will be how this list narrows as Tennessee moves from early positioning to more stable groupings. Fans can watch for which linemen settle into first-team work, which players are used at multiple spots along the line, and how the Titans balance experience with developmental upside as the unit’s identity takes shape.

Why It Matters

  • Protecting the quarterback and sustaining the run game start with the offensive line, so the early grouping and chemistry will shape how the offense looks in preseason work.
  • A 16-man offensive line pool indicates a competitive sorting process, where jobs and roles are likely to be defined through camp repetition rather than assumptions.
  • The Titans’ unit-focused preview approach suggests specific development and assignment questions will drive camp storylines as the roster firms up.
