The Tennessee Titans ' initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season is now set after roster cutdown day on Aug. 30.
The roster includes two quarterbacks, four cornerbacks and 10 defensive linemen.
The roster can and likely will change up to the Sept. 13 season opener against the New York Jets, possibly as soon as the initial round of waiver claims on Aug. 31.
Only 12 players were acquired before Mike Borgonzi became the team's general manager in 2025.
Here's how the 2026 Titans were constructed:
