In what is our second-to-last installment of Tennessee Titans training camp previews, we’re going to take a look at the secondary and break down both the cornerback and safety positions.
For the most part, the Titans’ secondary is locked in even before we get to training camp, however there are still some spots up for grabs at the bottom of the depth chart for both corner and safety.
Here’s a look at which players are roster locks in the secondary, which players are on the bubble, and then a prediction for who will make the initial 53-man roster.
Note: In case you’ve missed any of our previews, we’ve linked to them at the end of this article.
Roster locks: Cornerback
Adoree’ Jackson
Malcolm Butler
Johnathan Joseph
Kristian Fulton
Analysis: Jackson and Butler will man the outside for the Titans in 2020, but we may also see the former spend some time in the slot, as general manager Jon Robinson suggested could be an option. If that happens, Tennessee will need Joseph, and to a lesser extent, Fulton, to provide some help on the boundary when Jackson isn’t there.
The rookie corner could get the majority of snaps in the slot, but he’s going to have to show he’s ready for the responsibility with a strong camp, which could be difficult thanks to an abbreviated offseason. Amani Hooker figures to be one of the players who challenges Fulton for the slot corner job.
