The Tennessee Titans will soon have to trim their roster to 80 players, and then down to 53 by the start of the 2020 season.

With veteran players set to report to Training Camp on Wednesday, here’s who I currently see making it past the final cut.

Quarterback (3)

• Ryan Tannehill
• Logan Woodside
• Cole McDonald (R)

Unlike in 2019, there is absolutely no controversy for the Titans at QB entering the 2020 season. Tannehill is their man, and he'll be making a lot of money.

There is some uncertainty at backup quarterback, where it looks like the Titans will count on either a former Alliance of American Football player or a seventh-round rookie to hold down the fort.

With McDonald's rawness and the uncertainty surrounding Training Camp due to COVID-19, both guys should stick on the roster.

Running Back (4)

• Derrick Henry
• Darrynton Evans (R)
• Dalyn Dawkins
• Khari Blasingame

Henry is the engine that drives the entire Titans offense. Behind him on the depth chart is Evans, a very exciting rookie who can excel as a runner and a receiver.

That versatility should make life easier for Henry and improve his efficiency (if that's possible, at this point). Dawkins is someone the Titans have liked for a while, and Blasingame was a good lead blocker for Henry in 2019.

Wide Receiver (5)

• Corey Davis
• Adam Humphries
• A.J. Brown
• Rashard Davis
• Kalif Raymond

The top three of this group are strong, but the bottom two is underwhelming. Keeping just five receivers is becoming rare in the modern NFL, but the Titans just don't have enough talent at the bottom to justify keeping more.

Is losing a replaceable receiver like Cameron Batson or Cody Hollister that big of a deal when it means keeping a more talented player at another position?

Tight End (3)

• Jonnu Smith
• Anthony Firkser
• MyCole Pruitt

This was a strong trio in 2019, and Smith is a popular candidate to see a breakout season in 2020. Smith is fast and a monster after the catch, Firkser is very elusive and Pruitt is a quality blocker.

Offensive Tackle (4)

• Taylor Lewan
• Dennis Kelly
• Isaiah Wilson (R)
• Ty Sambrailo

Regardless of whether Kelly or Wilson begins the 2020 season as the Titans' starter at right tackle, these are likely the four tackles that will make the final cut heading into the regular season.

Sambrailo has a lot of experience as a swing tackle and was a savvy free agency acquisition. He's probably more of a lock to make the roster than a lot of people will give him credit for.

Interior OL (4)

• Rodger Saffold
• Ben Jones
• Nate Davis
• Jamil Douglas

Because of Sambrailo's ability to play guard and tackle, the Titans won't be forced to keep their numbers up on the interior of the offensive line.

Douglas, at this point, figures to be their choice as a reserve. He can play guard and center, and Vrabel has always seemed to like him.

Defense —>

Outside Linebacker (6)

• Harold Landry
• Vic Beasley
• Kamalei Correa
• Derick Roberson
• D'Andre Walker
• Reggie Gilbert

This is, admittedly, a lot of bodies. But, every year, each NFL team has a position or two where that is the case due to an abundance of talent.

While the top of this crew is not the strongest you'll see, the Titans should be proud of the depth they've assembled at outside linebacker. There's a variety of abilities and strengths, here.

Inside Linebacker (4)

• Rashaan Evans
• Jayon Brown
• David Long, Jr.
• Nick Dzubnar

Even with the losses of Wesley Woodyard and Daren Bates, this is still a strong group. Evans and Brown are as talented a pair of ILB starters as you'll find across the NFL, and Long proved as a rookie that he is a quality depth option.

If there's any position on the Titans roster where an undrafted free agent has a chance to earn a roster spot during Training Camp, this is it.

The team would probably be more comfortable carrying five inside linebackers into the season, especially since Dzubnar is primarily a special teams player.

Defensive Line (6)

• Jeffery Simmons
• DaQuan Jones
• Larrell Murchison (R)
• Jack Crawford
• Matt Dickerson
• Isaiah Mack

This group isn't as strong as is was in 2019 due to the loss of Jurrell Casey, who was traded to the Broncos. You could certainly do a lot worse, though.

Simmons is an athletic freak that has a real shot to break out and become a big-time player in his second season. Jones is a steady force, Mack was impressive as an undrafted rookie, Crawford has had a productive career and Murchison could prove to have been a draft steal. 

Cornerback (6)

• Malcolm Butler
• Kristian Fulton (R)
• Adoree' Jackson
• Johnathan Joseph
• Tye Smith
• Chris Milton

Replacing Logan Ryan with the duo of second-rounder Kristian Fulton and veteran Johnathan Joseph was very nifty for the Titans. If Fulton develops quickly and Joseph has anything left in the tank, the MMCNB crew shouldn't miss a step in 2020.

Safety (5)

• Kevin Byard
• Kenny Vaccaro
• Amani Hooker
• Dane Cruikshank
• Joshua Kalu

Defensive back will probably be where the fiercest Training Camp battles end up for the Titans. They have an immense volume of talent at cornerback and safety, and many of those players would be scooped up by other teams in a heartbeat.

As I currently have it, Chris Jackson, the Titans' seventh-round pick in 2020, will miss the cut and likely end up on the practice squad. Players like Kalu, Cruikshank, Smith and Milton are just too valuable on special teams to risk another team picking them up.

Jackson has a tough road ahead of him, but his competition does, too.

Specialist (3)

• Greg Joseph
• Brett Kern
• Beau Brinkley

Exit Ryan Succop, enter Greg Joseph. General manager Jon Robinson seems to have a measure of confidence in the young kicker, but let's not forget that Robinson is partially to blame for the Titans' disastrous 2019 kicking efforts.

We'll see.
