The Tennessee Titans are figuring out what their team will look like on Sundays during training camp, but there still remains a lot of uncertainty when it comes to the right tackle position.

There are a number of different directions the Titans can go in, and there is probably the biggest question mark there than at any other position on the roster.

“The Titans haven’t declared a starter at right tackle yet. Coach Brian Callahan said the competition could go through the length of training camp without a starter being announced until the opening game,” ESPN reporter Turron Davenport writes. “The primary competition so far is between John Ojukwu and Jaelyn Duncan. Third-year veteran Nicholas Petit-Frere will also be a factor now that he was activated off the PUP list on Friday. Tennessee allowed 64 sacks last season, tied for the third most in the NFL.”

The Titans are trying a number of different combinations for what works at right tackle by itself and with the rest of the offensive line. While Ojukwu, Duncan and Petit-Frere are the “favorites” for the job, others are being given an opportunity to shine there as well.

“Everybody has gotten some exposure on that side,” offensive line coach Bill Callahan said via ESPN. “We’re mixing and matching. The big thing is consistency, are they progressing from a physical aspect and then technique.”

Callahan knows exactly what he wants in a right tackle and nobody has yet to emerge as that clear-cut guy, but that’s what training camp is for. They don’t need to have a Week 1 starter right now, but they do need to have some sort of idea very soon, only because the season will creep up on them before they know it.

Each day that goes by in practice helps the Titans figure things out, and that should help them as a team overall.

The Titans face off against the San Francisco 49ers in their preseason opener on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT.

With that, it’s on to the notes and observations.

Offense

Let’s start with injuries and absences which were largely the same as they were during Sunday’s practice. Running back Cam Seldon and walk on receiver Tommy Winton III remained in red non contact jerseys. Mike Matthews went through stretches but wasn’t wearing a helmet and worked off to the side the rest of practice.

Andrej Karic, John Campbell Jr. and Dont’e Thornton were all fully dressed out and went through warmups but were not active participants in practice while we were out on the field. Kaleb Webb was in the same boat on Sunday, but was back on the field going through routes on air, where he had two bad drops, during Monday’s practice.

Webb’s drops were representative of what was a largely sloppy routes on air portion of practice. In fairness, Tennessee was working on more downfield passing including double moves and off script throws from the quarterbacks, but it just wasn’t a sharp period for Nico Iamaleava or the entire offense.

Iamaleava was off on a handful of throws, he had a miscommunication on one rep with Bru McCoy and receivers and tight ends had a few bad drops. It’s only a very small portion of practice that we get to watch so I’m certainly not hitting the panic button or acting like what we’re watching is the most telling thing, but drops have been a somewhat consistent problem for Tulane transfer receiver Chris Brazzell so far this fall during routes on air.

McCoy is a player that continues to look better-and-better. It’s obvious he spent his rehab getting physically stronger in his upper body and I don’t think I’ve been him drop a pass through the first five days of practice.

Of note at the tight end spot, both Notre Dame transfer Holden Staes and Alabama transfer Miles Kitselman worked with Iamaleava during routes on air. It was the first work that Kitselman has gotten with him during that period of practice. Alec Abeln said that Tennessee is going to play three tight ends this season and Kitselman joining Staes and Ethan Davis as players getting reps with Iamaleava seems to prove it.

Over with the offensive line, it continues to be a little bit of an in-and-out rotation for the veterans. It was Campbell and Karic who didn’t get any work while we were at practice for the second straight day after Zalance Heard and Javontez Spraggins were in that boat last week.

Heard has been pretty full go in what we’ve been watching the last few days which is a good sign given he looked a little banged up last week. Offensive line coach Glen Elarbee meets with the media later today so we’ll see what he has to say.

Defense

Things stayed the same on the injuries and absences note on Monday. Cornerback Jalen McMurray as well as freshman linebackers linebackers Jordan Burns and Grier Short (walk on) were not in pads and worked off to the side after going through stretches.

Jourdan Thomas obviously wasn’t out there after suffering a season ending knee injury during Saturday’s practice. With Thomas out, all eyes turn to true freshman Boo Carter. The Chattanooga native is incredibly talented and already had a chance to earn the starting spot at STAR but now the opportunity is truly right in front of him to grab.

Christian Charles is another guy who could grab the starting spot but Charles versatility makes him very important in a thin secondary. He can play safety and also fill in at corner if injuries happen. I continue to like what I see what Rickey Gibson and Jermod McCoy and Jordan Matthews is certainly a capable backup. But with McMurray currently out, things are a bit grim behind them.

With Charles versatility, it feels like Carter will have to play major snaps at STAR at some point this season. The question is whether he can grab that job from the jump.

Defensive backs continue to do some basic technique work and zone coverage handoffs during practice. Little for us to glean from them but also very important, especially for the young Carter.

Much like the fourth corner spot right now, the fourth inside linebacker spot is a real question. He’s been lackluster in his first two years on campus but I continue to like what I’ve seen from Kalib Perry this camp. He looks more comfortable out there and is playing a bit bigger which should help him become more of an everyday player.

Sophomore edge rusher Caleb Herring got tripped up during a footwork drill which earned him “Coach Chop’s” ire. Still, he continues to look good and like a guy that might earn a role in pass rush packages. Josh Josephs also looks better and a sneaky pick for a potential breakout player.

I truly don’t know how Tennessee will be able to use all the playable LEOs they have on this roster. Certainly a good problem to have.
