We’ve been keeping track of the Tennessee Titans’ players fielded number all season long after they broke the record in 2021, but for much of the year they’ve trailed the Arizona Cardinals — that is, until Monday night.
The Cardinals didn’t field any new players in Week 14, leaving their total at 77. Meanwhile, the Titans passed Arizona after fielding four new players in their embarrassing loss to the Jaguars, bringing the season total up to 80.
The four players responsible for putting the Titans in the top spot in the NFL were outside linebacker Tarell Basham, cornerback John Reid, wide receiver Racey McMath and linebacker Jack Gibbens, all of whom played their first snaps for the Titans in 2022.
OLB Tarell Basham, CB John Reid, WR Racey McMath and LB Jack Gibbens all made their first appearance of the season for the #Titans.
The team has now used 80 players in 2022. Their 76 players entering the week were the 2nd most in the league behind only the @AZCardinals (77).

And chances are the Titans aren’t done yet as they take a leap forward and continue to approach the NFL record of 91, which they set in 2021.
Tennessee has been busier than ever making roster moves in the wake of the team firing general manager Jon Robinson, including on Monday when they parted ways with Joe Schobert and Ola Adeniyi.
More moves will come, and chances are with the way things have gone for the Titans the past few seasons, more injuries will, too.
Let’s take a trip down (bad) memory lane and take a look at every one of the 80 players Tennessee has fielded in 2022.
