The Tennessee Titans are the favorites to win the AFC South following their third preseason game. Ryan Tannehill, who is vaccinated, was placed on the reserve/COVID list, and the backup is unclear at this point in a camp battle between recent signing Matt Barkley and Logan Woodside.
Derrick Henry should carry a massive load out of the backfield once again as one of the few true workhorse backs in the NFL. Brian Hill was among the players hoping for a shot at the backup role, but he landed on the season-ending injured reserve. Darrynton Evans is likely the No. 2 back on the Titans with Mekhi Sargent, Jeremy McNichols and Javian Hawkins in the mix for running back depth.
The Titans have a high-level wide receiver duo with A.J. Brown and Julio Jones, and both are expected to be ready for Week 1. Josh Reynolds figures to be the No. 3 option followed by potential options including Dez Fitzpatrick, Chester Rogers, Marcus Johnson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
