(Redirected from 2024 Tennessee Titans)
65th season in franchise history
The 2024 season is the Tennessee Titans' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their 28th in the state of Tennessee, their second under the leadership of general manager Ran Carthon and their first under head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans failed to improve on their 6–11 record from last year after a Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. They were eliminated from playoff contention for the third consecutive season following a Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They also had a 1–6 start to the season, their worst start since 2015. This is their first season since 2015 without long time running back Derrick Henry, who left the team in the offseason and joined the Baltimore Ravens.
Offseason
Coaching changes
On January 9, 2024, the Titans fired head coach Mike Vrabel after six seasons with the team. Vrabel had lost 18 out of the past 24 games dating back to the 2022 season and hadn't won a playoff game since the 2019 season. However, many still saw the move as a surprise and believed Vrabel to be a popular head coaching candidate for other teams.
On January 24, 2024 the Titans hired Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan as their new head coach.
Roster changes
Reserve/future free agent contracts
On January 8, 2024, the Titans signed six players from their practice squad to reserve/future contracts.

The game featured a 98-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine while Levis was backed up in their own end zone, tying the franchise record and becoming the league's longest pass of the season.
