Titans CB Caleb Farley Facing Multi-Week Absence

Injuries have plagued Caleb Farley‘s profession thus far, and his availability for the beginning of the 2024 season is now in query. The previous first-round Titans corner is coping with a hamstring injury, head coach Brian Callahan said on Thursday.

Farley was limited to only three games in his rookie campaign and one other nine in 2022. The 25-year-old missed last season altogether while recovering from back surgery, adding further to his time spent on the sidelines. Callahan said this latest setback will keep Farley on the mend for “just a few weeks,” and questions can be raised consequently regarding his readiness for Week 1.

The Virginia Tech alum had an intriguing college profession, but the chance incurred by the Titans in choosing him has not paid off to date. Farley began just one game in each of his healthy seasons, recording an interception each years. He was competing for a starting gig during training camp, but today’s news means he’ll likely not have the ability to take part in the rest of the offseason.

Tennessee returns Roger McCreary on the cornerback spot, and the team made a pair of notable additions at that position this offseason. L’Jarius Sneed was acquired via trade with the Chiefs and subsequently prolonged on a four-year, $76.4MM pact. The team also signed Chidobe Awuzie, a well-known face for Callahan given his previous time with the Bengals. Awuzie is a veteran of 74 starts across his time in Cincinnati and Dallas.

To little surprise, the Titans declined Farley’s 2025 fifth-year option this spring. In consequence, he enters this campaign as a pending free agent with plenty riding on his performance in 2024. Farley must be expected to suit up sooner or later in the autumn barring a setback, but this update marks one other unwanted development from a health perspective.
