Titans Tight Ends Set Up for Tight Contest

Helm Ready to Shine as Starter

Second‑year tight end Gunnar Helm enters camp as the clear starter for the Titans. His athletic frame and size give him the versatility modern offenses demand, and he’s expected to become a reliable safety blanket for quarterback Cam Ward. Helm’s solid rookie showing sets the stage for a potential breakout season.

Bellinger Brings Veteran Presence

Tennessee added Daniel Bellinger as a free‑agent complement to Helm. Bellinger joins with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, positioning him to integrate quickly and impact the offense early in camp. His seasoned playbook knowledge could serve as a mentor for the younger tight end.

2026 Draft Pick Kanak Adds Upside

The Titans selected Jaren Kanak, a former linebacker, in the 2026 NFL Draft to develop at tight end. After a single season learning the position, Kanak already displays potential and defensive instincts that could boost special‑teams play. He remains a work in progress but offers a promising long‑term building block.

Depth Chart Battles Heat Up

Kylen Granson, David Martin‑Robinson and Joel Wilson are currently the early contenders for the remaining roster spots. Granson appears to have the inside track at this stage, yet there is ample time before the regular season for the competition to shift. The tight end room is shaping up to be a tight contest, with multiple players vying for limited roles.
