Gunnar Helm - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Drawing praise entering Year 2 Titans head coach Robert Saleh has praised Helm's physical development this offseason and named the tight end as a player who "hopefully" will "take a big jump" during the 2026 sea...

Impact Helm set a franchise rookie tight end record with 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns while suiting up for 16 regular-season games in 2025. Added competition may limit his fantasy ceiling, but a strong offseason would give Helm a chance to earn a larger role in Tennessee's offense, and the departure of Chig Okonkwo for the Commanders opens up notable receiving opportunities. Helm appears the favorite to win the No. 1 tight end job during training camp, with Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Gradson fitting into complementary roles.

Impact Helm missed the Titans' regular-season finale back in January but appears to be back to full health after compiling 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets as a rookie last season. With Chig Okonkwo now with the Commanders, Helm looks to win the TE1 job with the Titans this summer. His main competition for playing time will come from blocking types Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson.

JANUARY 2 • Associated Press

Ruled out for season finale Helm (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact With Helm unavailable, Chig Okonkwo is slated to lead the Titans' Week 18 TE corps, with David Martin-Robinson also in the mix, while Cole Turner is a potential practice squad elevation. Helm finishes up his rookie season with a 44/357/2 receiving line (on 55 targets) in 16 contests. With Okonkwo eligible to become a free agent, the 2025 fourth-rounder could be positioned for an expanded role in 2026, pending the Titans' offseason moves at that tight end position.

Sits out of Thursday's practice Helm (toe) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Helm has missed the first two practices of the week due to a lingering toe injury and was spotted with a boot on his right foot, per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. Helm would be unlikely to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jaguars unless he were to log at least a limited practice Friday. If the rookie fourth-round tight end is ruled out, then David Martin-Robinson would be in line for a larger role on offense alongside Chig Okonkwo.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Helm (toe) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Helm has played through a toe injury since mid-December and hasn't yet been forced to miss any time, though he's generally managed to practice in at least a limited capacity during that stretch. The rookie tight end secured just one of two targets for one receiving yard during Tennessee's loss to the Saints in Week 17. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale on the road against Jacksonville.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in Week 17 loss Helm recorded one catch for seven yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Saints.

Impact For the second straight week, Helm was out-produced by Chig Okonkwo, who paced the Titans with 55 yards and one touchdown on three catches across a team-high seven targets against New Orleans. Through 16 games this season, Helm has logged a 44-357-2 receiving line on 55 targets.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

All clear for Week 17 Helm (toe) was limited in practice Friday but does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Helm will continue to play through the toe injury he sustained Week 15 versus San Francisco, an issue which did not prevent him from handling a career-high 52 offensive snaps during Tennessee's win over the Chiefs in Week 16. Expect Helm to continue handling a key role as one of the Titans' top tight ends alongside Chig Okonkwo during Sunday's home game against New Orleans.

Estimated as limited Helm (toe) is listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Helm continues to manage a toe injury he initially suffered Week 15, but has managed to play through since. The rookie tight end was also limited in practice Wednesday, so he could need to log a full session Friday in order to avoid being assigned an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. He played a career-high 52 offensive snaps (71 percent) versus the Chiefs in Week 16 but only logged two catches for nine yards (on three targets).

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with toe injury Helm (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Helm likely picked up the injury during the Titans' Week 16 win over the Chiefs, when he caught two passes (on three targets) for nine yards while playing 71 percent of the team's offensive snaps. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates the injury isn't considered serious, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. Helm has established a nice rapport with rookie quarterback Cam Ward in the six games since the Titans' Week 6 bye, with the duo connecting for 23 catches (on 28 targets) for 169 yards and one touchdown over that span.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal production against KC Helm recorded two receptions on three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 26-9 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Helm had started to gain momentum as a favorite target of Cam Ward, but that stalled against the Chiefs. He had only three targets, good for fifth on the team, while fellow tight end Chig Okonkwo commanded eight targets. Positively, Helm was on the field for a season-high 71 percent of offensive snaps, which could translate to additional opportunities to close the regular season.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up in Week 16 Helm is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Helm originally suffered the toe injury in Week 15, but he managed to play through the issue. He then logged a pair of limited practices to begin the week before turning in a full session Friday, and he carries that positive trend into suiting up Sunday. Helm has become a key target for Cam Ward, earning at least four targets in four of five games since the Titans' bye.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Helm is working through a toe injury that he sustained during the Titans' Week 15 loss to the 49ers, when he caught four passes on as many targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. He was tagged as questionable for Week 16, but his ability to practice in full Friday -- coupled with Fowler's report Saturday -- puts the rookie tight end on track toward being available for Sunday's home tilt. Helm has caught 41 passes (on 50 targets) for 347 yards and two touchdowns through 14 regular-season games.

Questionable after full practice Helm (toe) logged a full practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Helm's full participation Friday is an encouraging sign, but it didn't allow him to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against a depleted Chiefs team. Nonetheless, the rookie fourth-round pick appears more likely than not to suit up, which would give Helm an opportunity to keep building momentum after catching at least four passes in four of the past five games.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Thursday Helm (toe) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Helm has logged consecutive limited sessions due to a toe injury. The rookie fourth-round pick has nudged ahead of Chig Okonkwo among Tennessee's tight ends in recent weeks, and Helm has at least four catches in four of the past five games. Helm would likely need to practice without limitations Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Limited with toe injury Helm (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Helm impressed in Week 15, securing all four of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown, though he briefly had to leave the field due to a toe injury in the process. The rookie fifth-round pick has drawn at least four targets in four of his last five appearances and established himself as a reliable part of Tennessee's passing game alongside fellow tight end Chig Okonkwo.
