Titans CBs vs. Seahawks WRs

The Seahawks are one of few offenses around the league that could rival Tennessee's starting receiver trio. D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba offer starting quarterback Geno Smith options in the passing game. They should offer an appropriate test for Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who believes he has one of the better secondaries in the league.

Who practices for the Titans is a different story. No. 1 cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, who deals with recurring knee soreness, has been placed on a workload management plan. We wager Sneed will participate in joint practices, but it's not guaranteed. His opposite partner Chido Awuzie is sidelined with a calf injury. Awuzie is nearing his return, but these practices may arrive too quickly.

Quandre Diggs, Jamal Adams storylines

Two players you can bet will participate are new Titans safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs. The Titans signed both of them this offseason after the Seahawks released them from their respective contracts. Both veterans are itching to compete versus their former team.

Adams has been sidelined from recent practice sessions with soreness, but you can wager he circled Seahawks week for his return. Diggs has been getting up to speed in Wilson's defense, and now represents the perfect opportunity to work him into the rotation since he was named a starter on the latest depth chart update. The Diggs and Adams reunions will dominate some of the headlines in Seattle.
