Tight ends (3): Chig Okonkwo, Gunnar Helm, David Martin-Robinson.

Josh Whyle, a fifth-round pick in 2023, was one of the more notable cuts.

Offensive line (11): C Lloyd Cushenberry, LG Peter Skoronski, LT Dan Moore Jr., RG Kevin Zeitler, RT JC Latham, C/G Corey Levin, OL Blake Hance, G Jackson Slater, T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, T John Ojukwu, T Olisaemeka Udoh.

The Titans are opting to carry 11 offensive linemen, but that might not stay the same after the waiver claims.

Defensive line (5): DT Jeffery Simmons, NT T'Vondre Sweat, DE Sebastian Joseph-Day, DL James Lynch, DT Timmy Horne.

The Titans have their five offensive lineman, offering zero surprises.

Linebackers (9): ILB Cody Barton, ILB Cedric Gray, ILB James Williams Sr., ILB Curtis Jacobs, OLB Arden Key, OLB Dre'Mont Jones, OLB Jaylen Harrell, OLB Oluwafemi Oladejo, OLB Jihad Ward.

It looks like Gray is considered to be the starter with Williams as the backup.

Cornerbacks (6): L'Jarius Sneed, Darrell Baker Jr., Jarvis Brownlee Jr., Roger McCreary, Gabe Jeudy-Lally, Marcus Harris.

The Titans carry the six cornerbacks that have looked the best in training camp. Sneed starts the season on the active roster.

Safeties (5): Amani Hooker, Xavier Woods, Quandre Diggs, Mike Brown, Kevin Winston Jr.

The five safeties offer a ton of value going into the season.

Kicker (1): Joey Slye.

Punter (1): Johnny Hekker.

Long snapper (1): Morgan Cox.

Without any competition, Slye, Hekker and Cox win the final three spots on the roster.
