Analysis for Blasingame: While I think the Vanderbilt product is likely to make the roster given his duties as a fullback and the success he had last season, saying he’s a lock is a bit premature.

However, if Evans falters in camp, it’s possible another back is added to that mix, which could lead to Blasingame being the odd man if the Titans don’t want to carry four backs. The good news for Blasingame is that Tennessee carried four backs on their initial 53-man roster in 2019.

Analysis for bubble RBs: There isn’t a ton of experience at the bottom of the Titans’ current running back depth chart going into camp.

Perry, Wilson and Dawkins have played a combined total of 77 offensive snaps during their NFL careers. Scarlett is fresh out of college and was signed as a UDFA following the 2020 NFL Draft.

If the Titans decide to carry one more traditional running back on top of Henry and Evans, both Dawkins and Perry are the favorites to make the cut.

Tennessee is already familiar with what Dawkins can do now that he’s been with the organization for two years, and Perry offers versatility as a returner, which will no doubt help his case.

Wilson and Scarlett are going to have to really show out if they’re going to overcome what seems like insurmountable odds to make the roster out of camp. Their best bet to stay with the Titans will come through the practice squad.
