Who are the Tennessee Titans starters post COVID outbreak?
By Will Lomas
Full team projection
Given the opponent and the players available, I wanted to give you what I think the starters will look like on the field together. You might notice that I listed 14 starters on offense and 13 starters on defense, and that is because I think those are the guys who are going to play significant snaps.
However, in an ideal situation, these are the players that I think the Titans want on the field the most frequently.
Offense
QB: Ryan Tannehill
RB: Derrick Henry
WR: Corey Davis
WR: A.J. Brown
TE/FB: MyCole Pruitt
TE: Jonnu Smith
LT: Taylor Lewan
LG: Rodger Saffold
C: Ben Jones
RG: Nate Davis
RT: Dennis Kelly

Defense
DL: Jack Crawford
DL: Larrell Murchison (possibly a free agent here)
EDGE: Harold Landry
EDGE: Jadeveon Clowney
LB: Jayon Brown
LB: Rashaan Evans
CB: Adoree Jackson
CB: Malcolm Butler
SCB: Chris Jackson
S: Kenny Vaccaro
S: Kevin Byard
The one thing I didn’t mention is the option of using Amani Hooker as a safety and using Kenny Vaccaro as an extra box defender who can moonlight as a slot corner, but I have written before that I don’t like the way that has looked so far. Not because Vaccaro has looked bad, but because I think Hooker still doesn’t really have a feel for that position yet and this is a huge game.
That could be the one player that gets significant snaps at DB that I am not accounting for here, but the Titans best game of the season defensively came in Week 1 when Chris Jackson was starting in the slot and he has more snaps in his two healthy games than Hooker has over the course of the season.
