NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans open the 2021 NFL regular season against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 12 at Nissan Stadium. Tennessee finished the 2020 season with an 11-5 record, good enough to win the AFC South division title. They've reached the playoffs in back-to-back seasons including an appearance in the AFC Championship Game two years ago.
After releasing wide receivers Adam Humphries and letting Corey Davis leave via free agency, the Titans traded for star wideout Julio Jones from the Atlanta Falcons. But relatively unknown receivers Marcus Johnson, Mason Kinsey and Chester Rogers have been the most consistent performers. Was it enough to make the final roster?
The roster will be cut to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Here is a projection:
QUARTERBACK (2): Ryan Tannehill, Logan Woodside
Tannehill and new offensive coordinator Todd Downing are working toward creating the QB/playcaller synergy that is essential to a successful offense. Woodside has found a way to stick as the backup quarterback despite a strong push by Matt Barkley who came into camp a week after it started.
