Tennessee was rolling in the first half of the season before things came apart in 2022 and they’re hoping to regroup this season. The Titans were 7-3 after 10 games before dropping their final seven games, four of which came in one-score contests, to wind up missing the playoffs. They had a chance to win the division in week 18 only to lose to Jacksonville on the road 20-16 by giving up a fumble return for a score in the final three minutes of regulation. Tennessee decided to run it back this season with their key players from a season ago. The Titans added DeAndre Hopkins to their receiving corps in an effort to bolster their passing game but there are still some major concerns when it comes to critical spots in the lineup.
Last season, the Titans finished 30th in the league in passing offense with an average of 171.4 yards per game while they were 13th in rushing offen se by averaging 125.4 yards per contest. Tennessee was 28th in scoring offense as they averaged 17.5 points per contest while the team stood 14th in scoring defense by allowing 21.1 points per game. Ryan Tannehill (212 of 325 passing, 2536 yards, 13 touchdowns, six interceptions, 98 rushing yards, two touchdowns) is back as the #1 quarterback on the depth chart. He missed five games last season and, at age 35, one has to wonder how much more he has left in the tank. Malik Willis (31 of 61, 278 yards, three INT, 123 rushing yards, TD) is the backup quarter, having beaten out second-round pick Will Levis for the backup job. Derrick Henry (349 carries, 1538 yards, 13 TD) is the #1 back while rookie third-round pick Tyjae Spears takes over the #2 role while Julius Chestnut lurks on the depth chart. Treylon Burks (33 receptions, 444 yards, TD) will work as the default #2 receiver opposite DeAndre Hopkins (64 catches, 717 yards, three TD), who was picked up in free a gency in the offseason. A major thing to watch for here in the preseason is the revamped offensive line for the Titans. Taylor Lewan, Nate Davis and Ben Jones are all gone, wiping out last year’s line from center to left tackle. Throw in that Nicholas Petit-Frere, who started at right tackle, is suspended for the first six games due to violating the league’s gambling policy, and the Titans have some major issues when it comes to protecting the quarterback in addition to opening holes on the ground. Nick Folk, who was acquired from New England last week, takes over the kicking duties. He connected on 32 of 35 extra point attempts and 32 of 37 field goal attempts with a long of 54 last season.
Cornerback Tre Avery (hamstring), linebacker Harold Landry (abdomen) and offensive lineman Dillon Radunz (knee) were all limited in practice Thursday. Hopkins (rest) and tight end Trevon Wesco (rest) were also limited Thursday. Watch for any updates on their respective statuses leading up to kickoff.
