A.J. McCarron

McCarron has only started four games during his career, so he’s a bit more of a wild card than the other options the Titans will have. Still, McCarron has shown flashes in his limited action.

In seven games (three starts) with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2015, the former fifth-round pick completed 66.4 percent of his passes for 854 yards, with six touchdowns and two interceptions.

In the Week 17 loss to the Titans last season, McCarron kept the Houston Texans competitive despite not having many of the team’s starting offensive weapons around him.

McCarron finished that game with 225 yards through the air and 39 on the ground, and also scored one passing and one rushing touchdown. The Texans trailed 21-14 before the Titans pulled away in the fourth quarter.
