The Tennessee Titans spent the majority of the 2024 offseason reworking their offensive line after a dismal performance in 2023. The Titans attacked free agency with the addition of center Lloyd Cushenberry and then followed that up by drafting Alabama tackle JC Latham with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
Midway through training camp, the new-look offensive line is starting to take shape. The projected left side of the offensive line appears to be set, featuring Latham and 2023 first-round pick Peter Skoronski flanking Cushenberry in the pivot. The right side has been more of a question mark.
The team attempted to address right guard with the signing of veteran Saahdiq Charles in free agency. After opening camp as the starting right guard on the Titans’ first unofficial depth chart, the 25-year-old Charles abruptly retired and was subsequently placed on the reserve/retired list. Now, after two preseason games, the right side is starting to come into focus. During his press conference, head coach Brian Callahan offered this update:
Per Callahan, #Titans are trending towards starting Dillon Radunz and Nicholas Petit-Frere on right side of offensive line.
They have played the best so far.

Nicholas Petit-Frere, who opened camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, looks to stabilize the right tackle position after suffering through a disappointing 2023 campaign. Next to him, the team has turned to Dillon Radunz, a former second-round pick with guard and tackle experience, to replace Charles. According to Callahan, Radunz and Petit-Frere have started to separate themselves from the competition and, at this point, look to be the starters heading into the preseason finale and potentially into the start of the season.
