The Tennessee Titans shifted gears ahead of two joint practices with Atlanta, activating Lloyd Cushenberry III off the PUP list after his physical, a move that could stabilize the interior and raise the ceiling for their starting offensive line in Week 1 against Denver. They also reshaped the quarterback room by releasing Tim Boyle after a rough preseason opener and re-signing Trevor Siemian to the 90-man roster, a veteran with 40 career games and a prior run with Titans coach Brian Callahan. These moves signal a calculated blend of immediate health with veteran depth as the Titans balance protecting Tannehill and providing a reliable backup behind him, in a summer that will increasingly test the line and the passer.

Expect Cushenberry to be eased back, but the potential to lock in the projected starting five could unlock more consistent run and pass protection for Derrick Henry and a more stable environment for play-action passes. Siemian’s return gives Tennessee a seasoned fallback with familiarity to Callahan’s system, reducing the risk of a cliff-edge at QB if Tannehill’s health or form wavers. The Denver opener looms as a practical gauge for how quickly Cushenberry can contribute and how Tennessee’s offense can translate practice-time improvements into game-day consistency.
