NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The sting from last season's early postseason exit as the AFC's top seed still lingers for many of the Tennessee Titans. Rebounding from the disappointing ending will largely depend on a collection of players bouncing back from major injuries.
Tennessee's defense took a big step forward last season by improving the pass rush and becoming stingier in pass coverage. Opposing quarterbacks completed 67.1% of their passes against the Titans' defense in 2020. That number went down to 62.9% last season.
Most of the starters are returning from last season with the exception of cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins, who was released in March.
