Xavier Restrepo

Restrepo suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 13 (2025) that may impact his availability for 2026 spring activities and training camp recovery timeline.

Currently 6th on Tennessee's WR depth chart behind Ayomanor, Dike, Proche, Kinsey, and Oliver. Has never made the 53-man roster and spent entire 2025 season on practice squad with only two gameday elevations.

Five WRs (Tate, Robinson, Ridley, Dike, Ayomanor) are viewed as roster locks, leaving Restrepo competing with veterans like KJ Osborn, Mason Kinsey, and special-teamer Bryce Oliver for at most one final spot. He enters camp on the bubble for a second straight offseason.

Tennessee spent the No. 4 overall pick on Carnell Tate and $70M in free agency on Wan'Dale Robinson, plus restructured Calvin Ridley — Restrepo (UDFA) has the least organizational investment of anyone in the room.

Tennessee's QB situation remains unsettled heading into 2025. Offensive continuity and scheme clarity will heavily influence Restrepo's ceiling, and any major QB/coaching changes could derail development.

In the only 2 games available, both target share (16% → 3%) and snap share (25% → 19%) trended sharply downward, suggesting he was not establishing himself even in a thin 2025 WR room pre-Tate.

Restrepo was Ward's top target at Miami with 69 receptions for 1,127 yards and 11 TDs in 2024. Built-in rapport could unlock opportunity if coaching staff leverages connection.

New OC Brian Daboll brings expertise in quick passing concepts and RPO schemes—exactly Restrepo's skillset sweet spot. Scheme fit dramatically improved from 2025.

Titans could save $14M cutting Ridley, creating slot receiver opportunity. Multiple current WRs (Ayomanor, Dike, Oliver) are injury-prone or unproven, opening pathway.

Current depth consists of unproven rookies (Ayomanor, Dike) and journeymen. Titans identified WR as top offseason need, but injuries/inconsistency could create pathway to snaps.

Injuries to current WR depth could create pathway to meaningful snaps. Volume-dependent upside exists if the Titans experience roster turnover at receiver.

Reports note Restrepo 'has been great this offseason' and is making the most of limited reps, keeping a thin but real path to a depth/special-teams roster spot alive.
