5 Titans' position battles to watch in joint practice with Seahawks

The Tennessee Titans have engaged in active preparations this week, and they are set to participate in a joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday. With multiple roster battles still undecided, this practice aims to clarify some positions, especially after facing a formidable opponent like the Seahawks.

Among the battlegrounds, the right guard position presents a tight contest between Fernando Carmona, Cordell Volson, and Jackson Slater. While Carmona seems to be favored, the outcome is not yet sealed, and the forthcoming practice could be pivotal.

The swing tackle position witnesses Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson emerging as the frontrunner against veteran Austin Deculus. Crenshaw-Dickson's recent performance against the San Francisco 49ers suggests he may secure the position. Nonetheless, the intensity of the joint practice might tip the scales.

In the wide receiver battle, it is evident that the Titans' top five receivers are finalized. However, the competition remains between Xavier Restrepo, Bryce Oliver, and KJ Osborn, each bringing unique abilities to the table. Their performance in the upcoming practice will be crucial in potentially finalizing the roster.

The linebacker position offers a multi-faceted viewpoint. Mohamoud Diabate is assured as a starter, yet James Williams and Anthony Hill Jr. are proving to be formidable contenders. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding the number of linebackers the Titans will retain adds another layer to the competition. The performances of these players, coupled with Dorian Mausi's, will be keenly observed.

Finally, the cornerback position showcases a set of four veterans - Alontae Taylor, Cor’Dale Flott, Marcus Harris, and Joshua Williams. However, a strong performance from emerging talents Micah Robinson and Keydrain Calligan could disrupt the established order. Interested observers will be watching how these battles unfold in the joint practice with the Seahawks.
