Tennessee
Former Bengals OL Named Titans Candidate
The Tennessee Titans and the other 31 NFL teams will have to cut their rosters down to 53 players by tomorrow at 3 p.m. CT, which means a lot of roster reshuffling will take place.
The Titans not only have to look at their own roster for who they wish to keep, but they also have to keep an eye on other teams to see if they cut any players that they may want instead.
Bleacher Report suggests that the Titans may want to pick up offensive lineman Jackson Carman, who was cut over the weekend by the Cincinnati Bengals.
“The Titans are still working on rebuilding an offensive line that was among the league’s worst units last season. Fortunately, they have a secret weapon in Bill Callahan. He’s one of the league’s best offensive line coaches and his ability to develop players should help,” Bleacher Report writes. “It should also allow the Titans to take a shot on some players with talent who haven’t worked out yet. Jackson Carman is a perfect example. The Bengals just waived the former second-round pick, but he’s still only 24 years old so there might be some development to come. He should be on the Titans’ radar.”
It should also be noted that Carman worked for three years with Titans head coach Brian Callahan while he was the offensive coordinator in Cincinnati, so that familiarity could make this a strong fit as well.
Carman played in all 17 games in his rookie year, and he appeared in Super Bowl LVI against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he has only appeared in seven total games since. The last time Carman started came in the 2022 playoffs, where the Bengals lost in the AFC Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Carman wouldn’t be asked to step in right away for the Titans, but he could help the team’s depth in the trenches at multiple positions, especially at right tackle, where Nicholas Petit-Frere narrowly won the starting job and right guard, where Dillon Radunz is currently the starter.

The History of Earth Day
A comprehensive look at the evolution of Earth Day from its 1970 origins to a global environmental movement.
Earth Day, the annual event which promotes environmental protection and awareness, is this week.
Celebrating its 56th year, this year’s Earth Day theme is “Our Power, Our Planet,” which stresses the importance of communities, educators, workers and families working together toward environmental progress.
“‘Our Power, Our Planet’ is not a political statement. It is a commitment to stewardship, resilience, and shared accountability — a call for every individual, community, and sector to exercise their power in service of the planet we all depend on,” reads the 2026 manifesto.
To celebrate Earth Day 2026, the Tennessee State Parks system will be offering educational, recreational and volunteer events across the state.
Here’s what to know.
When is Earth Day 2026?
Earth Day is April 22.
According to Earthday.org, the movement’s founders — inspired by the student anti‑war protests of the 1960s and 1970s — chose a weekday falling between Spring Break and final exams to maximize the greatest student participation.
Why is Earth Day celebrated?
The history of Earth Day dates back to 1962 with Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestselling book, “Silent Spring” which raised awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and the links between pollution and public health.
U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, a Democrat from Wisconsin, was concerned about worsening environmental conditions and galvanized by the massive 1969 oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara. He launched the idea that would become Earth Day.
Nelson partnered with Republican U.S. Rep. Pete McCloskey and activist Denis Hayes to organize nationwide teach‑ins on April 22, expanding the effort beyond college campuses and rebranding it as Earth Day, an event that quickly gained national media attention and widespread public participation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.
