Tennessee Titans 53-man roster projection after one week of camp

After completing their sixth practice on Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans are officially one week into training camp and things are already beginning to take shape in terms of positional battles.

Of course, there’s still a long way to go, but the first week has given us some great insight into who among Tennessee’s players on the bubble are making the case they belong on the initial 53-man roster.

We’ve seen three of Tennessee’s rookies become the biggest standouts of training camp, with wide receiver Treylon Burks, tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo and cornerback Roger McCreary routinely shining in practice.

The emergence of Burks has been especially important after he got off to a rocky start thanks to asthma and poor conditioning, the latter of which the wideout has taken accountability for.

The Titans will have an off day on Wednesday before they return to the practice field on Thursday. In the meantime, let’s take a stab at a 53-man roster projection following the first week of training camp practices.

Quarterbacks (3)

Quarterbacks: Ryan Tannehill, Logan Woodside, Malik Willis

Willis hasn’t done enough to supplant Woodside for the No. 2 job, which is a blessing in disguise because it helps the Titans avoid putting Willis out there before he’s ready should Tannehill get hurt. Let Woodside be the buffer and give the rookie a full year to develop.

Running backs: (4)

Running backs: Derrick Henry, Dontrell Hilliard, Hassan Haskins, Tory Carter (FB)

Hilliard has been the cream of the crop among Tennessee’s backups, which admittedly isn’t a great group. Haskins has been quiet in training camp but he’s a lock to make the roster, as is Carter. We wouldn’t rule out a fourth running back like Trenton Cannon for special teams purposes.

Wide receivers (6)

Wide receivers: Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips, Racey McMath, Reggie Roberson

Dez Fitzpatrick is the biggest name to miss the cut here; he simply hasn’t done enough to warrant a roster spot up until this point.

Roberson has been solid throughout and McMath officially put himself on the map on Day 6. With Tennessee’s uncertain situation at wide receiver, we could see a seventh carried here, which would benefit either Fitzpatrick or Mason…
