Titans Coach Robert Saleh Bans Seed Oils From Team Meals After 3-14 Season

  • Seed oils have been removed from the Titans’ training facility cafeteria, with Robert Saleh saying the change was among his first moves after taking over in Nashville.
  • Saleh said owner Amy Adams Strunk backed a bigger food budget, allowing the team to replace oils such as canola and soybean with alternatives the staff believes may better support player performance.
  • Nutrition experts remain divided on the move: Johns Hopkins researcher Matti Marklund said abundant evidence shows seed oils are not harmful and may even be beneficial.
  • The policy lands as Saleh begins his second NFL head-coaching stint after replacing Brian Callahan, who was fired during a 3-14 2025 season, and prepares to develop No. 1 pick Cam Ward.
