Tennessee Titans name just 3 captains for 2026 NFL season
DT Jeffery Simmons and QB Cam Ward headline the short list of Tennessee Titans players who've been designated as captains for 2026 NFL season.
The Tennessee Titans have announced that they will have only three captains for the 2026 NFL season. These positions will be filled by quarterback Cam Ward, defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, and long snapper Morgan Cox.
Jeffery Simmons, who has been a Titans captain for the sixth consecutive year, is set to lead the defense. Morgan Cox, a five-time Pro Bowl honoree, will spearhead the special teams. Cam Ward, the starting quarterback for the Titans, will be the captain for the offense.
Simmons' selection as a captain comes after an impressive All-Pro season and a lucrative contract extension worth more than $100 million. Ward, coming off his second year as the starting quarterback, was drafted as the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Cox, playing for the Titans since 2021, has earned five Pro Bowl honors, most recently in 2022.
