TRAINING CAMP PREVIEW: OFFENSIVE LINE
In camp (16): C Ben Jones, G Nate Davis, LT Taylor Lewan, T Dillon Radunz, G Aaron Brewer, OL Jamarco Jones, C/G Corey Levin, G Jordan Roos, C Daniel Munyer, T Christian DiLauro, OL Nicholas Petit-Frere, C/G Xavier Newman, G Hayden Howerton, OL Carson Green, T Jalen McKenzie, T Adam Rupcich.
Offseason developments: Ben Jones signed a new multi-year contract extension with the team back in March, and the team signed former Seahawks lineman Jamarco Jones early in free agency. The Titans drafted Petit-Frere in the third round of the NFL Draft out of Ohio State before signing Newman (Baylor), Howerton (SMU) McKenzie (USC) and Rupcich (Culver-Stockton) as undrafted free agents. The team parted ways with left guard Rodger Saffold, who signed with the Bills, and the team also released back-up Kendall Lamm. The Titans opted not to re-sign David Quessenberry, last year’s starting right tackle, and he ended up signing with the Bills as well. The competition started at two of the open spots on the offensive line – right tackle and left guard – and it’s going to be worth watching throughout training camp and the preseason.
In the spotlight: Radunz. Drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State, Radunz didn’t play much as a rookie. He started just once – on a Thursday night vs the 49ers – while spending most of the year developing, and working at a few positions in practices. This offseason, Titans Coach Mike Vrabel said Radunz will be given the chance to win the starting job at right tackle. During OTAs and minicamp, Radunz appeared to be getting more comfortable. But the true test won’t come until the pads come on in training camp, and until the competition heats up. Joint practices against the Buccaneers and Cardinals will provide great tests for the guy drafted to be a long-time starter. The Titans need Radunz to leave no doubts.
