Sneed will return to work in a limited capacity, though he voiced an expectation (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mainstreetmediatn.com\/articles\/injuries\/sneed-activated-from-pup-list-has-sites-on-playing-in-titans-season-opener\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">via Main Street Media\u2019s Terry McCormick<\/a>) of a Week 1 return.<\/p>\n<p>Suffering the quad injury last season, Sneed underwent surgery after it healed slowly. He landed on the Titans\u2019 active\/PUP list because of a May knee procedure, further complicating his on-field return. Sneed had proclaimed himself fully healthy during an appearance at a high school football camp this summer, only to be shelved on the PUP list come camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t my decision. It was coach (Brian) Callahan\u2019s,\u201d Sneed said, via McCormick. \u201cHe\u2019s taking it slow with me, and Mike (Borgonzi) is taking it slow. They\u2019re all taking it slow to make sure I\u2019m good for the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acquired in a deal headlined by a 2025 third-round pick, Sneed <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2024\/03\/chiefs-trading-cb-ljarius-sneed-to-titans\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">signed a four-year, $76.4MM extension upon arrival<\/a> in Tennessee. That deal has yet to pay off, and an ominous prediction from a Titans team reporter \u2014 one that pegged anything the CB <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2025\/06\/latest-on-titans-cb-ljarius-sneed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">contributes in 2025 being a bonus<\/a> \u2014 pointed to that contract delivering a disastrous return. Sneed will attempt to bounce back after a five-game 2024 and two ensuing surgeries, though a notable off-field development has also emerged.<\/p>\n<p>Hit with a felony charge for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, Sneed will see his case go to a Dallas County, Texas, grand jury September 25, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paulkuharsky.com\/news\/ljarius-sneeds-criminal-case-is-heading-to-a-grand-jury\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to veteran Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky<\/a>. Sneed said he had \u201cno concerns\u201d on the case, which also includes a civil suit. Sneed and former assistant Tekonzae Williams are alleged to have fired shots out of a car at an auto dealership Dec. 6, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The civil case alleges Sneed and Williams fired shots from a rented Lamborghini Urus into another vehicle, which was parked. Though, Kuharsky adds no reported gunshot wounds emerged. Sneed\u2019s attorney said his client did not fire any shots and did not confirm any were fired from the Urus. Sneed, who started four seasons for the Chiefs before being part of a tag-and-trade transaction, could face NFL discipline regardless of this case\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n<p>With a grand jury appearance set for September, it is possible a ban comes this year. That would further limit Sneed with the Titans, who will attempt to salvage this investment after cutting fellow 2024 addition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AwuzCh00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-20_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Chidobe Awuzie<\/a>. The Titans did not draft a corner or make a notable free agency addition there, pointing to a belief Sneed \u2014 who delivered a standout 2023 season in coverage to help Kansas City to a second straight Super Bowl title \u2014 will be ready to return by Week 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"L\u2019Jarius Sneed\u2018s Titans tenure has started quite poorly.
