There was a lot of doubt about Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Vic Beasley being ready for the start of the 2020 season, but it appears he indeed will be.
According to Paul Kuharsky, Beasley is expected to be removed from the Non-Football Injury list and will be active on the 53-man roster.

Beasley has been on the NFI list since he reported late to training camp and failed his physical upon his arrival. He has yet to practice with the Titans throughout training camp.
As far as what role Beasley will have in Week 1 remains to be seen. That will depend on how up to speed he is with the Titans’ defense after missing so much time.
Head coach Mike Vrabel has made it clear on many occasions that Beasley has been working hard to get acclimated even without practicing. His latest sign of progression was when he was spotted working with Vrabel 1-on-1 on a side field during a recent practice.
We’ll see just how acclimated he is when the Titans meet the Denver Broncos for the season-opener on September 14.
