The Tennessee Titans’ first preseason game is in the books after the team left Baltimore with a 23-10 loss to the Ravens.
The majority of the starters did not play on a day that was mostly dedicated to letting the rest of the roster prove their worth. Although they didn’t get the result they were looking for, the Titans were able to head home healthy and with quite a bit to be optimistic about going forward.
On Tuesday, the Titans will begin cutting their roster down, going from 90 to 85 players. After that, there will be two more cutdown days, one on Aug. 23 (85 to 80), and then the final one on Aug. 30 (80 to 53).
The Titans have several interesting battles happening throughout the roster. These competitions range from battling for a starting spot to other positional battles where the players are competing just to make the team.
Now that we have had the opportunity to evaluate these fringe players in live-game action, let’s take a closer look at how I see the 53-man roster shaking out after the Titans’ preseason opener.
