Robert Saleh believes ‘the next 40 days are critical’ for Titans

The Tennessee Titans have officially wrapped up their offseason team activities and will now be on their own as they enter their downtime before training camp.

But if you listen to what head coach Robert Saleh has to say, the Titans are actually entering the most crucial part of their offseason program. Saleh spoke with Jim Wyatt after the Titans wrapped up their practices, and he pointed out the importance of the next 40 days.

“These next 40 days are critical. And I feel like so many players lose their season before it ever starts because of the way they handle these next 40 (days).” @Titans HC Robert Saleh stresses the importance of the break before training camp.

“These next 40 days are critical,” Saleh said. “And I feel like so many players lose their season before it ever starts because of the way they handle these next 40 (days). It’s not a vacation. They’ve got to get ready to play ball. We kind of trick it by pretending the four-day acclimation period will give them a runway to get into the season – there is no runway. When you get here, we’ve got to go, and if you’re not prepared to play, you’re going to get hurt, and that’s league-wide.”

Tennessee has taken a different approach to offseason team activities and minicamp and will carry those differences into training camp and the preseason, with a scrimmage at Nissan Stadium and a full slate of joint practices, in hopes of changing their fortunes in 2026.

Tennessee is scheduled to report to training camp in Nashville the last week of July and kick off their four-day acclimation period before donning pads in the first week of August, and then, finally, the real competition can begin.
