Final prediction for 2024 Tennessee Titans initial 53-man roster

   

The time is finally here. The Tennessee Titans will wrap up the 2024 preseason on Sunday afternoon when they take on the New Orleans Saints.

That means I need to make my final predictions for what the Titans' 53-man roster is going to look like once cut day rolls around. All NFL roster cuts will need to be made by 3 p.m. CST 

After weeks of observing training camp, here's a look at my final projected 53-man roster for your 2024 Titans.

Offense

Quarterbacks (2): Will Levis, Mason Rudolph

Running backs (4): Tyjae Spears, Tony Pollard, Julius Chestnut, Hassan Haskins

Wide receivers (6): DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Jha'Quan Jackson

Tight ends (4): Chig Okonkwo, Josh Whyle, Nick Vannett, David Martin-Robinson

Offensive linemen (9): OT JC Latham, OT Nicholas Petit-Frere, OT Geron Christian, OT Jaelyn Duncan, G Peter Skoronski, G Dillon Radunz, G Andrew Rupcich, C Lloyd Cushenberry, C Daniel Brunskill

Notes

The Titans are going to have some difficult choices to make on the offensive side of the ball. There's a world where it's seven wide receivers instead of six, three running backs instead of four, three tight ends instead of four, or even three quarterbacks instead of just two.

Ultimately, Brian Callahan is looking for the best all-around football players that can help his team instead of looking at specific positions. I think Tennessee is more likely to get Malik Willis through waivers and to the practice squad than they are David Martin-Robinson. 

Hassan Haskins earned the final spot over Mason Kinsey for me because of his special teams value, but I think Kinsey is the WR7 if they keep a seventh.

Defense

Defensive line (5): Jeffery Simmons, T'Vondre Sweat, Sebastian Joseph-Day, Keondre Coburn, Quinton Bohanna

Outside linebackers (4): Harold Landry III, Arden Key, Jaylen Harrell, Rashad Weaver

Inside linebackers (5): Kenneth Murray Jr., Jack Gibbens, Chance Campbell, James Williams, Cedric Gray

Cornerbacks (6): L'Jarius Sneed, Chidobe Awuzie, Roger McCreary, Jarvis Brownlee Jr., Tre Avery, Gabe Jeudy-Lally

Safeties (5): Amani Hooker, Quandre Diggs, Jamal Adams, Elijah Molden, Matthew Jackson

Notes

Interior defensive line and inside linebacker are4 probably the positions I feel the least sure of here. Quinton Bohanna gets the nod for me because of his NFL experience and size, but there's an argument that Bohanna is too similar to T'Vondre Sweat and Keondre Coburn.

Rookie linebacker Cedric Gray sneaks onto my roster despite having a shoulder injury keep him out of the entire preseason. I wouldn't be surprised if the Titans throw Gray on IR to free up a spot, though. Otis Reese IV probably got the short end of the stick here, but it's a loaded room with quality depth and a lot of injuries to muddy the waters.

Specialists

Kicker (1): Nick Folk

Punter (1): Ryan Stonehouse

Long snapper (1): Morgan Cox
