Every week throughout training camp, as the Tennessee Titans inch closer to the start of the 2026 NFL season, we at The Tennessean will track and project roster movements and trends that will play into coach Robert Saleh's and GM Mike Borgonzi's decisions regarding the Titans' depth chart and 53-man roster for Week 1 against the New York Jets.With Titans training camp practices set to begin on July 29, consider this your primer. By Aug. 30, the Titans will have to cut the active roster down from 91 players to 53. A little more than 40 of those spots should already be considered to be locked down, essentially leaving 50 players to compete for a dozen roster spots.Let's use this primer to divide the roster into buckets. Who are the depth chart locks, who are the players competing for active roster spots and who are the players in a practice-squad-or-bust situation?Titans depth chart: The roster locksQB: Cam Ward, Mitchell TrubiskyRB: Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Nicholas SingletonWR: Carnell Tate, Calvin Ridley, Wan'Dale Robinson, Chimere Dike, Elic AyomanorTE: Gunnar Helm, Daniel BellingerOT: Dan Moore Jr., JC LathamG/C: Peter Skoronski, Cordell Volson, Austin Schlottmann, Jackson Slater, Pat Coogan, Fernando CarmonaDL: Jeffery Simmons, John Franklin-Myers, Solomon Thomas, Jackie Marshall, Jordan ElliottDE/Edge: Jermaine Johnson II, Keldric Faulk, Oluwafemi Oladejo, Jacob MartinLB: Cedric Gray, Cody Barton, Anthony HillCB: Alontae Taylor, Cor'Dale Flott, Marcus Harris, Joshua WilliamsS: Amani Hooker, Kevin Winston Jr., Tony AdamsS/T: Joey Slye, Tommy Townsend, Morgan CoxNothing worth adding about this crew. Consider these guys the starters, the high-profile veteran backups and the developmental rookie and Year 2 draft picks.Titans training camp roster: Guaranteed spots up for grabsTE3: Jaren Kanak, David Martin-Robinson, Kylen GransonOT3: Austin Deculus, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, Zach ThomasDE5: Jaylen Harrell, Truman Jones, Malik HerringLB4/5: Mohamoud Diabate, Dorian Mausi, James Williams Sr. CB5: Micah Robinson, Keydrain CalliganS4: Kendell Brooks, Jerrick Reed, Sanoussi Kane, Erick HallettWe're calling these the "guaranteed" battles because these roles are non-negotiable, even if the people who fill them are. Pay particular attention to the competitions at swing tackle and fifth corner as spots where outside competition could be signed to improve the battle.Tennessee Titans players: Candidates to fill out the rosterQB: Will LevisRB/WR: Kalel Mullings, Julius Chestnut, Michael Carter, KJ Osborn, Bryce Oliver, Xavier Restrepo, Tyren MontgomeryOL: Andre James, Drew Moss, Garrett Dellinger, Aamil Wagner, Rasheed MillerDL: Cam Horsley, Timmy HorneTrusting the math here, this means four remaining spots to be divided among these 15 candidates. Levis is the ultimate wild card, especially as a potential trade candidate. The skill guys are fascinating, with debates about players with more special teams value (Mullings, Chestnut, Oliver) versus players with higher offensive upside (Osborn, Restrepo, Montgomery).Titans practice squad candidates, developing players to watchOffense: Hendon Hooker, Mason Kinsey, Lance McCutcheon, Courtney Jackson, Hank Beatty, Joel WilsonDefense: Jalyn Holmes, David Ebuka Agoha, Earnest Brown IV, Shad Banks Jr., Sean Brown, Mani Powell, Jeadyn Lukus, Latrell McCutchin Sr., Jalen McMurray, Bishop FitzgeraldRemember Ebuka Agoha's built-in advantage to make the practice squad as an International Player Pathway representative. After him, consider it an up-for-grabs battle for the final spots alongside some of the players mentioned above who don't make the 53-man roster and any waiver claims the Titans put in after camp.Nick Suss is the Titans beat writer for The Tennessean.
