The Titans are returning three-fifths of their starting offensive line with left tackle Dan Moore<\/a>, left guard Peter Skoronski<\/a>, and right tackle JC Latham<\/a> returning to their 2025 posts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gone are center Lloyd Cushenberry<\/a> and right guard Kevin Zeitler<\/a>, leaving two major holes in front of second-year quarterback Cam Ward<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Austin Schlottmann<\/a> is likely atop the depth chart at center. He signed a two-year, $7MM deal to come to Tennessee this offseason from New York, where he played under Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll for the past two years.<\/p>\n

Right guard is less clear. The Titans signed former Bengals starter Cordell Volson<\/a> in free agency, but all 48 of his career starts came at left guard. He also did not play in 2025 due to season-ending shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n

The only returning Titan who took any right guard snaps last year is Jackson Slater<\/a>, a 2025 fourth-round pick. The 22-year-old played more than 95% of his college snaps at Sacramento State at left guard, but he played on both sides in the preseason and right guard for his lone regular season appearance.<\/p>\n

Head coach Robert Saleh said (via veteran Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky<\/a>) that Slater would be competing at right guard this year as well, indicating the second-year lineman has a path to the starting job opposite Skoronski.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Titans are returning three-fifths of their starting offensive line with left tackle Dan Moore, left guard Peter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[76002,9150,7,3356,6,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":["post-900546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennessee-titans","tag-austin-schlottmann","tag-cordell-volson","tag-football","tag-jackson-slater","tag-nfl","tag-tennessee","tag-tennessee-titans","tag-tennesseetitans","tag-titans"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116633316088826113","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
