Titans left tackle Dan Moore Jr. returns; Elic Ayomanor leaves with shoulder issue

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans got starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. back in practice Thursday after he left the last session early. Unfortunately, wide receiver Elic Ayomanor hurt a shoulder that ended his practice early.

“Feels stable, but we’ll get more information later,” coach Robert Saleh said of Ayomanor. "And then JFM’s (defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers) dealing with a low back. Doesn’t seem concerning.”

Moore's status after walking off the field Tuesday was a big concern with the Titans already trying to identify new starters at center and right guard on the offensive line. Moore was one of Tennessee's big free agent additions in March 2025 and started 16 games last season. He was back for team drills Thursday.

Ayomanor was second on the Titans with 515 yards receiving last season as a rookie, a total that led all the wide receivers with veteran Calvin Ridley limited to seven games by injuries. Ayomanor tied fellow rookie Chimere Dike with four touchdown catches to lead Tennessee in that category and averaged 12.6 yards per reception.

The wide receiver had a nice reception Thursday over cornerback Alontae Taylor in a red zone period. Later in practice, Ayomanor collided with safety Kevin Winston Jr. on a route that left the receiver on the ground before he got up holding his shoulder.
