Titans training camp preview at DL: Locks, competitions, 53-man prediction

Ahead of training camp we take a look at the Titans’ defensive line, which has serious questions behind the starters.

With just two days to go until rookies report, and just five days to go until veterans report, we keep chugging right along with our training camp previews for the Tennessee Titans.

This time around we take a look at the Titans’ defensive line, which is no doubt one of this team’s biggest strengths, at least when it comes to the starters.

As for the backup options, it’s a much different story after the team lost both DeMarcus Walker and Mario Edwards in free agency. Walker, of course, was the much bigger loss after tallying a career-high seven sacks last season, but Edwards was a solid reserve in his own right.

With those two gone, the Titans are relying on a slew of unproven to mostly unproven players for reserve spots, leaving this team an injury or two away from potential disaster.

With all that in mind, here’s a look at the roster locks and competitions for the defensive line, as well as a prediction for how it all turns out.
