News

  • Compiles 12 tackles in win

    Byard recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Byard paced the Titans in Week 2, compiling 12 tackles for the first time since Week 9 of last season. The safety has recorded 20 takedowns over the first two contests of the year and could be in for a career season if he maintains this level of production for 17 games.

  • Nine stops against Saints

    Byard recorded nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Byard found himself in the familiar position of pacing the Titans in tackles while also being on the field for every defensive snap. He's played a significant role in the Tennessee defense across the last six seasons, and that looks likely to be the case again in 2023.

  • Reworks deal with Tennessee

    Byard and the Titans agreed on a reworked contract Friday, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: Byard's base salary for 2023 will drop from $14.1 million to $11 million with the opportunity to earn back the money in incentives. The freed-up cap space will allow the Titans to bring in wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who agreed on a deal with the team this past weekend. Byard has been a fixture in the team's secondary since 2016 and compiled 108 tackles, six pass deflections and four interceptions while playing in all 17 of Tennessee's contests last season.

  • Remains key contributor

    Byard finished the 2022 season with 108 tackles, four interceptions and an additional two defensed passes across 17 games.

    Analysis: Byard remained a stalwart in the Titans' secondary this past season, and he has yet to miss a game in his seven-season career. He's topped 1,000 defensive snaps in six of those campaigns and has picked off at least four passes on five occasions. Byard will enter 2023 with two years remaining on his contract with the Titans and figures to remain a key contributor.

  • Tallies eight stops in Week 16 loss

    Byard recorded eight defensive tackles (five solo) and one tackle on special teams Saturday in a loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Byard finished with his most stops since he logged 12 tackles against Kansas City in Week 9. The veteran safety needs just three more stops to record the second 100-tackle season of his seven-year career.

  • Logs seven tackles

    Byard tallied seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Byard has now recorded seven tackles in back-to-back weeks. He has only logged more twice this season. The free safety saw the field for 67 of a potential 73 defensive snaps.

  • Makes seven tackles

    Byard recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Byard's seven stops in Week 12 now gives him a respectable total of 73 on the season. The veteran safety continues to operate in an every-down role for the Titans this year, and he's more than likely to do so again this weekend against the Eagles.

  • Makes six stops

    Byard recorded six tackles in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Byard played 100 percent of defensive snaps for the seventh consecutive game. He's had a wide range of productivity in that span, logging between three and 12 tackles. Byard has a total of 66 stops, one pass defended and one interception across 10 contests on the campaign.

  • Comes away with 12 stops in loss

    Byard collected 12 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Byard logged double-digit tackles for the first time since Tennessee's season-opening loss to the Giants. The two-time All-Pro also would have logged his second interception of the season were it not for a defensive offside penalty against Rashad Weaver in the first quarter. Byard now has 57 tackles (35 solo) and one interception through eight games in 2022, and he'll continue to play a prominent role against the pass and the run this Sunday against Denver.

  • Produces eight stops in win Sunday

    Byard recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 21-17 victory over the Commanders.

    Analysis: It was another solid effort from the All-Pro safety, as his eight stops Sunday versus Washington now gives him a total of 37 on the year. The Titans are one of four teams to kick off the first bye weekend in 2022, meaning Byard should enter next Sunday's contest against the Colts with both confidence and a fresh set of legs, after he played every defensive snap in Week 5.

  • Picks off first pass of season

    Byard recorded four tackles and one interception during Sunday's 24-22 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Byard didn't maintain his strong tackling numbers that he had through the first two games (19 stops), but he did record his first interception off a tipped pass by Darren Waller. The 2016 third-round pick has been a productive member of the Titans' secondary since he was drafted and appears on track to continue that in 2022.

  • Seven tackles in loss

    Byard recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Monday's loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Byard has 19 tackles through two weeks and is on pace for another high-tackle campaign. He hasn't finished below 80 tackles since his rookie season, but the only time he's finished with over 100 was in 2020, when he notched 111 stops, seven pass defenses and one interception.

  • Starts year with double-digit stops

    Byard notched 12 tackles (eight solo) during Week 1's 21-20 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Byard is off to a productive start in terms of fantasy production, though the All-Pro safety will face a tough task containing Josh Allen and the Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 2. While Byard shouldn't necessarily be expected to carry such high tackling upside on a weekly basis, he's a lock to retain a key role for Tennessee's defense and had five interceptions last season.

  • Ends season with five tackles

    Byard recorded five tackles in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Byard was on the field for all of Tennessee's defensive snaps for the 12th time in 17 games this season. Though that didn't lead to a full stat line in the regular-season finale, he still ended the campaign with a team-leading 88 tackles. He also posted an impressive 13 passes defended and five interceptions across 17 games -- good for his highest totals since 2017. Byard should remain a key part of the Titans' defense for their upcoming playoff run as well as the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Byard is coming off a strong effort in the team's Week 12 loss to the Patriots, as he logged 12 tackles and recorded a sack. Depending on whether he tested positive or was just a close contact to an infected person, he may not miss any game action as the Titans head into their bye in Week 13.

  • Pick-six against Rams

    Byard recorded three tackles and one interception in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Byard's primary contribution came early in the second quarter when he picked off Matthew Stafford and returned the ball 24 yards for a score. His effort put the Titans up 14-3, and they never relinquished the lead from there. Byard now has picks in each of his last two games and five total to go along with 40 tackles on the campaign.

  • Delivers huge Week 5 outing

    Byard racked up 11 tackles (eight solo) to go with two pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery for a 30-yard touchdown Sunday in the Titans' 37-19 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The Titans held a comfortable lead against the hapless Jaguars for most of the day, which translated to a pass-happy script for Jacksonville that presented plenty of playmaking opportunities for Byard. He recorded his interception on the game's final play, making him the third player in franchise history to record at least 20 picks in his first 85 career games. Through five games, Byard has remained an IDP standout out of the secondary, recording 27 tackles to go with six pass breakups, two…read more

  • Paces Titans in tackles

    Byard recorded 111 tackles, two tackles for loss, seven passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble across 16 games in the 2020 regular season.

    Analysis: Byard was a key member of the Titans' defense all season, remaining on the field for 100 percent of snaps in all but one contest. He racked up a career-best 111 tackles in the process, also pacing the team. On the other hand, his interceptions continue to slide, as his one pick was his lowest mark since his rookie campaign in 2016. Byard is locked in with the Titans on a long-term contract, making it very likely he remains with the team for the 2021 campaign.

  • Registers 10 tackles

    Analysis: Byard notched a consecutive double-digit tackling effort, and he's reached a new career high of 97 tackles through 14 games. With seven pass breakups and an interception to boot, Byard has once again been a strong IDP contributor in 2020.

    Analysis: Byard was the only Titan to reach double-digit tackles, and he recorded his highest mark of the season. He remained on the field for 100 percent of the defensive snaps, which he has now done in 11 of 13 contests. Byard will remain a key part of the Titans' defense in Week 15 against Detroit.

  • Season-high 10 tackles Thursday

    Byard recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: With Philip Rivers carving up Tennessee's secondary for 308 yards, Byard was busy racking up tackles on the back end. He set a new season high in tackles and now has 38 over the past five games. The physical safety will appreciate the extra few days to heal up before his team's Week 11 trip to Baltimore.

  • Posts six solo stops

    Byard posted six solo tackles in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Byard has averaged 5.3 tackles per game and is on pace to tie the career-high 90 stops he posted two years ago, but he's had some variance in his numbers. In three games, he posted six or more solo tackles, but he notched two or fewer in the other three contests.

  • Leads team in stops

    Byard recorded nine tackles and a pass breakup in Monday's 16-14 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Byard played every defensive snap as expected en route to a team high in tackles. Nine stops would've been a regular-season high for the safety last season as well. The 27-year-old is instrumental to the Titans' secondary success, and the Titans restructured his deal before Monday's game to clear $6.12 million in cap space, although Byard will still make $9.1 million in 2020, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Look for him to keep it rolling against a Jaguars team that exceeded…read more

  • Leads Titans with five picks

    Byard recorded 84 tackles, five interceptions, nine passes defensed and two tackles for loss across 16 games with the Titans in 2019.

    Analysis: Byard's strong 2019 performance illustrated why the Titans made him the highest paid safety in the league prior to the season. He led the team with five interceptions and now has 17 picks in his last three seasons. The elite ballhawk will look to continue to make a claim as one of the premier safeties around the league in the 2020 season.

    Analysis: Byard led the team in tackles to notch his third consecutive season with 80 or more takedowns. He also added his fifth interception of the campaign, surpassing his 2018 total of four.

    Analysis: The fourth-year pro continues to play an every-down role, and he recorded his 16th tackle since the start of the 2017 season. His IDP value is flaky with 63 tackles through 12 games, but his ball-hawk tendencies raise the ceiling.

    Analysis: Byard's nine tackles marked a season high for the starting free safety, bringing his season total to 61 takedowns through 11 games. Byard hasn't forced a turnover since Week 6, but he'll look to change that in Week 13 against the Colts.
