Titans wrap 2026 mandatory minicamp as staff evaluates a 90-man roster

The Tennessee Titans finished their 2026 mandatory minicamp last week, a short but consequential stretch in the NFL offseason when coaching staffs use structured practices to separate depth-chart questions from coachable traits. Head coach Robert Saleh, working alongside offensive staff leader Mike Borgonzi, oversaw two practice sessions as the team looked across its 90-man roster and measured how players fit in the scheme ahead of training camp.

For teams in the June window, mandatory minicamp carries a different feel than OTAs. The practices are still limited and do not resemble full-team contact, but they tend to produce more consistent on-field evaluation because players know exactly what is being asked of them and coaches can tighten what they are teaching. In that setting, Saleh and Borgonzi used the week as a formal check-in, not only on fundamentals and assignments, but also on whether role clarity is developing for the fringe players who will have to earn snaps later.

The Titans also treated minicamp as a chance to build cohesion off the field. According to the report, the week ended with a family-friendly bonding activity, a reminder that offseason work is partly about establishing routines and standards that last through the grind of the summer.

Roster construction is the other half of what minicamp reveals. The club made multiple transactions during or immediately around the period, including additions of defensive line player Jalyn Holmes and offensive line player C Andre James. Those signings, while not necessarily reflective of a single position group that must be fixed, report that the staff wanted more bodies and more competition as it continued to evaluate how the current roster projects when the team moves closer to full-squad work.

A typical way these minicamp notes translate into training-camp priorities is through position-group emphasis. The report frames the Titans as having several areas they could address after observing their roster up close, but specific needs depend on how players responded during the week and how the offseason program has shaped depth behind the starters. With minicamp complete, the next evaluation step shifts toward longer looks, including preseason preparation and any further adjustments that come from veteran additions.

The larger point for Tennessee is that Borgonzi’s presence makes the offseason evaluation more than just “who is ready.” Coordinators and position coaches generally use this stage to confirm communication habits, install details, and identify which players are already processing quickly enough for later wrinkles in the playbook. Even when no major roster overhaul follows, minicamp can change the complexion of competition, especially in trenches where technique and assignment discipline can determine how a unit performs against NFL-quality run and pass rush.

For fans watching the Titans’ offseason, what to track next is whether the team’s post-minicamp focus narrows into a small number of clear training-camp contests. The club has already taken steps through the Holmes and James additions, so the follow-through will likely show up as more reps for specific groups, continued sharpening of roles, and subsequent roster activity if the coaching staff concludes any gaps are too large to wait until deeper summer stages.
