An update on Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed
Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is among the team’s biggest question marks heading into training camp. Sneed’s first season in Nashville didn’t go as planned. After acquiring him for a third-round pick from the Kansas City Chiefs and signing him to a $76.4 million contract, Sneed appeared in just five games after suffering a peculiar season-ending quad injury.
Sneed also has a chronic knee issue that requires managing. He did not participate physically in any capacity at OTAs or mandatory minicamp. Titans head coach Brian Callahan even publicly called him out.
Sneed recently hosted a youth football camp. It was there we finally received an update regarding his injury status. Sneed delivered positive news via an interview.
“I’m healthy, I’m as healthy as I’ve been,” Sneed told a reporter in attendance. “Last year, my first year [in Nashville] didn’t go as planned, but it’s time [for me] to come out and show the world what God did. I’m ready to get back on the field. That’s my life, it’s what I do for a living. I missed a whole year. I have to remind everybody who L’Jarius Sneed is.”

That should indicate Sneed will be healthy and available when the Titans begin training camp on July 22nd. The Titans will probably manage his workload by being smart with his practice script. But Sneed needs to participate in some physical capacity after essentially missing an entire season. He needs to practice to play.
Sneed struggled for the Titans throughout 2024 before suffering the quad injury in October. Pro Football Focus slapped him with a lackluster 36.8 grade in coverage. He allowed nine receptions in 168 coverage snaps, and was oftentimes out of position on incompletions.
The Titans need Sneed this season if their defense is to have a chance at being effective.
