The Tennessee Titans might have floundered on the field last year, but players say the team has made big strides behind the scenes to improve morale.
Why it matters: A new team report card compiled by the NFL Player's Association sheds light on day-to-day working conditions for the Titans.
State of play: Titans players surveyed for the report card reported "sizable improvements" in team travel and the team's treatment of players' families.
Zoom in: The Titans earned an F in travel in 2024, but that score jumped to a B this year. The report card attributes the shift to new coach Brian Callahan's policy changes.
- In the past, players flew to away games in cramped coach seats while coaches and staff flew first class.
- Callahan "flipped the seating chart," putting players in first class and coaches in coach.
The Titans got a B+ for its interactions with player families, up from a D+ last year.
- Players praised Ansley Moore, the Titans' new director of player and family affairs.
- The team provides childcare during games, and players praised frequent family events.
Yes, but: The Nissan Stadium locker rooms, which got a C-, remain a sticking point for some players.
- Of course an upgrade is imminent. The team is expected to move into their new stadium, which is currently under construction, in time for the 2027-28 season.
The big picture: The Titans rated 16th out of 32 NFL teams, based on player feedback. The Miami Dolphins came in first.
