There has been a lot of dismal news lately surrounding the Tennessee Titans and former members of the franchise over the past few weeks. Between injuries and players being released, it is always a tough reminder that the NFL is a business.
Every once in a while a feel good story pops up that should receive more attention and this is one.

Former Titans first-round pick Caleb Farley is back in the NFL. The veteran cornerback, who has undergone a plethora of setbacks in his career, was signed to the Carolina Panthers’ active roster.
A fan favorite, Farley was never able to duplicate his production at Virginia Tech in the NFL with the Titans and was released at the end of training camp after the team upgraded its cornerbacks by acquiring L’Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie during the offseason.
Farley joined the Panthers’ practice squad after his release and returned to the field for the first time since 2022. After reaching his 2024 elevation limit, the Panthers saw enough to add him to the 53-man roster.
Having overcome his vast injury history and off-field tragedies to make it back to an active NFL roster is a great story and one that Titans fans should appreciate, even if it is taking place with the Panthers.
