Some questions remain on offense for the Tennessee Titans. They've addressed aspects of it by retaining center Ben Jones and acquiring wide receiver Robert Woods. Regardless, there is work to do, especially on the offensive line. Head Coach Mike Vrabel hinted at an answer to one of the spots on the OL.
Who will start at LG and RT for the Titans?
Like Herndon mentions, I don't expect the starter to be decided already whatsoever. That being said, Jones will get his opportunity to start at LG. He knows the scheme well, and it sounds like the Titans coaches trust him. That is meaningful at the very least. If he can prove that he can be a solid starter, that side of the line is solidified if he and Taylor Lewan can stay healthy.
This also could mean that OT Dillon Radunz could get the first reps at right tackle. Vrabel doesn't expect Jones to fill that spot, and there just aren't a lot of other options on the roster currently. There's still time left in free agency, but it is worth keeping an eye on for Tennessee.
The Titans could target an offensive lineman early in the 2022 NFL Draft, but Radunz was a day two selection last year. They certainly want to see more out of him this year to see if he can develop into a consistent starter.
Tennessee needs to fill the void left by Rodger Saffold, and Jones may be the best candidate to do that at the start of this season. You feel good about Nate Davis at the other guard spot. Figuring out the LG and RT spot will be vital for the offense of the Titans in 2022.
