#Titans CB Caleb Farley will begin the season on the reserve/PUP list, source said, as the former first-rounder is still recovering from a back injury. With tragedy off the field and the passing of his father, all the focus is on his more-important personal situation, anyway.

Tennessee Titans cornerback Caleb Farley will reportedly start the 2023 campaign on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
The news comes from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Farley, who underwent back surgery in December, will miss the first four games of the season as a result.
As Rapoport notes, Farley is dealing with personal tragedy at the moment after the passing of his father, Robert, who was killed when Farley’s house exploded on the night of Monday, Aug. 21.
“What’s most important is that we do everything that we can to support him, emotionally, teammates, coaches, organization,” head coach Mike Vrabel said, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com.
“Just shocking. But also, (we have) to focus on Caleb (Farley) and his family and what we can do to support them and be here for them,” Vrabel added
Farley was drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, appearing in 12 games over two seasons. Unfortunately, he’s struggled with injuries in that time, with a torn ACL in 2021 and the back surgery in 2022.
