Position battles to monitor in Titans joint practices with Seahawks

The Titans are still sorting through the interior of their offensive line. Lloyd Cushenberry will be the center, and Peter Skoronski the left guard. The Titans are holding an open competition at right guard following Saahdiq Charles' retirement. Dillon Radunz is the heavy favorite to win the job, but Andrew Rupcich and Daniel Brunskill are seemingly still competing.
The Seahawks have dominant interior defensive linemen like Dre'Mont Jones and Leonard Williams. General manager John Schneider then drafted former Texas Longhorns defensive tackle Byron Murphy II with his first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Murphy was teammates with Titans rookie d-tackle T'Vondre Sweat at Texas last season, so the two of them will reunite at joint practices.
The right guard position could be decided by the conclusion of joint practices. Since the starting offensive line is unlikely to play in Saturday's second preseason game, precious opportunities remain for Brian and Bill Callahan to assess the state of things. If Radunz holds his own versus Williams, Jones, and Murphy, he could clinch the starting gig. If he struggles, Rupcich could see an opportunity.
