NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans report to Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park on Tuesday, July 22 for the start of 2025 Training Camp presented by SeatGeek. The first practice of camp is scheduled for 9:05 a.m. CDT on Wednesday, July 23.
Head coach Brian Callahan is set to lead his second training camp in Tennessee. He was hired as the 20th head coach in franchise history in 2024 after serving five seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals.
During the 2025 offseason, the Titans hired Mike Borgonzi as the 15th general manager in franchise history. Borgonzi spent the past 16 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, most recently in the role of assistant general manager.
Under controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, Chad Brinker returns in 2025 as president of football operations, while Burke Nihill serves as president and CEO.
THE BASICS
Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park (460 Great Circle Road) will be the site of training camp for the 26th time. The club's headquarters, which opened at the conclusion of training camp in 1999, is located in MetroCenter, just north of downtown Nashville. In 2022, a renovation of the existing building and a 60,000-square-foot addition was completed at the facility.
Titans fans are encouraged to attend an open training camp practice at Nissan Stadium on Saturday, July 26 as part of 'Back Together Weekend' presented by SeatGeek. Gates for the practice will open at 10 a.m. CDT. Fans can attend for free but must claim a ticket online at tennesseetitans.com/backtogetherweekend, where additional details are provided.
All tickets for six additional practices already have been claimed. No tickets to attend practice at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park will be available on site for walk-up guests.
Camp news and information will be updated continuously here at TennesseeTitans.com, the Titans mobile app and on official team social channels.
PRESEASON GAMES AND JOINT PRACTICES
The Titans are scheduled for three preseason contests this August. Once they open camp, they will have less than three weeks to prepare for their first preseason test at Tampa Bay on Saturday, Aug. 9 (6:30 p.m. CDT). Prior to their matchup at Raymond James Stadium, the Titans and Buccaneers will conduct a joint practice at AdventHealth Training Center in Tampa on Thursday, Aug. 7.
The Titans will travel directly from Tampa to Atlanta for a week of work with the Falcons. The two clubs will engage in practices at IBM Performance Field (Flowery Branch, Ga.) on Tuesday, Aug. 12, and Wednesday, Aug. 13, followed by a preseason game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday, Aug. 15.
Since 1999, the Titans have traveled previously for joint practices in 2000 (with St. Louis in Macomb, Ill.), 2012 (with Atlanta in Dalton, Ga.), 2014 (Atlanta), 2021 (Tampa Bay) and 2023 (Minnesota). During the same time period, the Titans have hosted joint workouts at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park in 2001 (Indianapolis), 2002 (Miami), 2003 (Miami), 2004 (Atlanta), 2008 (St. Louis), 2010 (Arizona), 2017 (Carolina), 2018 (Tampa Bay), 2019 (New England), 2022 (Tampa Bay and Arizona) and 2024 (Seattle).
The Titans close the preseason by hosting the Minnesota Vikings at Nissan Stadium on Friday, Aug. 22 (7 p.m. CDT). It will be televised nationally on CBS.
The first two Titans preseason games (at Tampa Bay and at Atlanta) will air on WKRN News 2 in Nashville, as well as several regional affiliates. Titans Radio, including Nashville Flagship 104.5 The Zone, carries every Titans contest throughout the Mid-South.
On Sunday, Sept. 7, the Titans will launch their regular season with a road game against the Denver Broncos.
ROSTER COMPETITION
At the beginning of camp, NFL teams are permitted to carry up to 90 players on the roster—or 91 in the case of clubs using an exemption for a player in the league's international pathway program, including Titans tight end Thomas Odukoya. This year there will be only one NFL-mandated roster cutdown, and it will occur on Aug. 26, four days after the preseason matchup with the Vikings. All teams must reach the 53-player limit by then.
Players placed on reserve lists such as reserve/injured, reserve/physically unable to perform, and reserve/non-football injury or illness do not count towards the 53-man active roster limit. Each club may place two players on the reserve/injured list at the roster reduction to 53 players with the designation to return at a later date. The two players will immediately count as two of the club's maximum of eight DFR designations during the regular season.
On Aug. 27, teams are permitted to establish practice squads with a maximum of 17 players, including one international player exemption.

THE ROSTER UNDER BORGONZI
In the opening months of Borgonzi's tenure as GM, the Titans experienced a significant influx of new personnel. The camp roster (as of July 16) includes 48 players who were added since the conclusion of the 2024 season: 34 free agents, nine draft choices and five waiver claims. Borgonzi also directed three trades involving draft pick compensation.
In free agency, the Titans most notably signed tackle Dan Moore Jr. (previously with Pittsburgh); guard Kevin Zeitler (Detroit); linebacker Cody Barton (Denver); outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones (Seattle); wide receivers Van Jefferson (Pittsburgh) and Tyler Lockett (Seattle); safety Xavier Woods (Carolina); punter Johnny Hekker (Carolina); and kicker Joey Slye (New England).
In April, Borgonzi led the draft selection of Miami (Fla.) quarterback Cameron Ward (first round), UCLA outside linebacker Oluwafemi Oladejo (second round), Penn State safety Kevin Winston Jr. (third round), Florida wide receiver Chimere Dike (fourth round), Texas tight end Gunnar Helm (fourth round), Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (fourth round), Sacramento State offensive lineman Jackson Slater (fifth round), California cornerback Marcus Harris (sixth round) and Michigan running back Kalel Mullings (sixth round).
Ward was the first overall selection in the draft—the first No. 1 overall pick for the Titans/Oilers franchise since running back Earl Campbell in 1978. He appeared in 57 total games over five college seasons at Incarnate Word (2020-21), Washington State (2022-23) and Miami (2024), passing for 18,184 total yards during his college career. His 158 career passing touchdowns set an NCAA Division I (FBS/FCS) record. In his one campaign with the Hurricanes, he was named first-team Associated Press All-American and was a Heisman finalist after throwing for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns, leading the team to its first 10-win season since 2017.
Borgonzi draws from his time in Kansas City, where he contributed to 12 playoff seasons and 10 AFC West titles (2010, 2016-24). He helped construct a roster that won the AFC five times (2019-20, 2022-24) and captured three Super Bowl titles (2019, 2022-23) over a six-season span. Prior to his promotion to assistant general manager, he served the Chiefs as director of football operations (2018-20), director of player personnel (2017), co-director of player personnel (2015-16), assistant director of pro scouting (2013-14), pro personnel scout (2011-12) and manager of football operations (2010). He initially joined the club in 2009 as a college scouting administrator.
BRIAN CALLAHAN AND STAFF
Callahan returns to the Titans after becoming the second-youngest head coach in franchise history in 2024 (Jeff Fisher). Within his staff, he retained both defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson and offensive coordinator Nick Holz for 2025.
The coaching staff does feature a new special teams coordinator, John Fassel, who was brought to Tennessee after serving with the Dallas Cowboys since 2020. Fassel has coached in the NFL with the title of special teams coordinator since 2008.
In addition to Fassel, the team's new coaching hires this season include defensive quality control coach Dylan Autenrieth, senior offensive assistant Mike McCoy, defensive passing game coordinator/cornerbacks coach Tony Oden, defensive run game coordinator Travis Smith and special teams assistant Rayna Stewart,
