Preseason is finally over, and "cut day" across the National Football League looms about 48 hours away. By 3 p.m. on Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans will need to narrow down their roster from 80 players, all the way down to 53.

Roster moves should trickle out Sunday and Monday as well.

I've been able to watch training camp unfold on a daily basis, speak to coaches and players, and witness the biggest position battles first hand. Now, with camp wrapping up, it's time to issue my final prediction for the Tennessee Titans initial 53-man roster.

Quarterbacks (2)

Ryan Tannehill

Malik Willis

This is one I could genuinely go either way on. The Titans keeping two or three quarterbacks has been the topic of conversation since rookie Malik Willis first took the field in the preseason, and Logan Woodside's seat seems to get hotter each week.

While the Titans value Woodside's familiarity in the system, I think Willis has shown enough to prove he's the better option for backup quarterback. His playmaking skills and athleticism adds a dangerous dynamic to an already run-heavy Titans offense, and he's getting better each and every day.

The decision here will have large impact on the rest of the roster, but from where things stand right now, I think the Titans are leaning towards Willis as the QB2 and trying to pass Woodside through waivers. They've even started working out potential replacements for their practice squad in case  Woodside gets scooped up.

With Willis taking such big steps froward, Woodside's roster spot is better used on depth at positions of weakness elsewhere.

Running Backs (4)

Derrick Henry

Dontrell Hilliard

Hassan Haskins

Tory Carter (FB)

The running back room feels pretty cut and dry. Rookie Hassan Haskins has continued to impress with his angry runs through contact and special teams impact, and Dontrell Hilliard provides a nice change of pace from Derrick Henry on passing downs.

Henry, Hilliard, and Haskins. Also known as Triple H.

Tory Carter will be the fullback, Julius Chestnut is a likely candidate for the practice squad, and since Trenton Cannon is no longer the go-to kick returner, I don't foresee a scenario where he gets a spot on the final roster.

Wide Receivers (6)

Robert Woods

Treylon Burks

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Kyle Philips

Racey McMath

Dez Fitzpatrick

Let's make something clear. I don't expect this to be the group of WR's on the active roster by the time the Giants get to Nashville.

The first five in that group are locks, and they have been for quite some time. The question that has been looming about the wide receiving core has always been if second-year WR Dez Fitzpatrick could prove he was worth rostering as a sixth option.

While I don't think Fitzpatrick has won a job, I think he makes the initial 53 temporarily while the Titans hunt for external options as other teams make cuts.

I think Fitzpatrick gets waived shortly after Tuesday's deadline and replaced by a waiver acquisition with more experience and value on special teams. May as well be a "TBD" in that spot.

Tight Ends (4)

Austin Hooper

Geoff Swaim

Chig Okonkwo

Tommy Hudson

Not a whole lot to debate here. The Titans are going to run a lot of heavy sets with two tight ends, and thus will keep four on the roster.

I once thought Briley Moore was making a strong case for the fourth spot, but after he was waived on August 17th, Hudson seems like a sure thing. They've liked what he brings to the table in the past, he just needs to stay on the field.

Offensive Line (8)

Taylor Lewan

Aaron Brewer

Ben Jones

Nate Davis

Nicholas Petit-Frere

Dillon Radunz

Jamarco Jones

Corey Levin

The Titans could very easily keep a ninth offensive lineman on the initial roster, and you could definitely make a case that they need another depth tackle with Radunz now working primarily at guard.

This is another position I think the Titans could add to via the waiver wire. A veteran tackle would fit in nicely with this group, and I think the players remaining after cuts could easily change.

If Tennessee does elect to keep nine, I think Jordan Roos is a clear favorite for the spot, as he's worked in at RG with the 1's in the absence of Nate Davis during practices.

Defensive Linemen (5)

Jeffery Simmons

Denico Autry

Teair Tart

DeMarcus Walker

Naquan Jones

This time last year, defensive lineman Naquan Jones got cut for Larrell Murchison and Anthony Rush. This year, I have him winning the last spot over Kevin Strong and breaking camp with the team.

Outside Linebackers (5)

Harold Landry

Bud Dupree

Rashad Weaver

Ola Adeniyi

David Anenih

While Rashad Weaver has played his way into the defensive rotation, the disruption caused by David Anenih during the preseason way have played him all the way onto the Titans roster.

Whether it was two sacks in Baltimore or two pass deflections against the Cardinals, Anenih put forth a consistent effort with a knack for finding the football. I feel as if he's tied the Titans' hands, and I expect him to make the team.

Inside Linebackers (5)

David Long Jr.

Zach Cunningham

Chance Campbell

Joe Jones

Dylan Cole

Monty Rice being transferred to the PUP list certainly opened things up at ILB. Joe Jones has made a number of plays throughout camp, and his hustle tackle in the preseason finale may have been the cherry on top. He's a heart and hustle guy that prides himself on special teams.

Mike Vrabel has also praised his leadership, specifically while working with younger guys on the kickoff unit.

Jones is joined by Dylan Cole as players with experience that can be a key piece of the special teams unit in Tennessee. In each of the five years of his NFL career, Cole has played 60% of the special teams snaps for the Texans and Titans.

Rookie LB's Chance Campbell and Jack Gibbens have both flashed at times, but I give Campbell the edge for for a few reasons: His ability against the run, and Gibbens being easier to pass through waivers and get to the practice squad.

Safeties (6)

Kevin Byard

Amani Hooker

Theo Jackson

Lonnie Johnson Jr.

Ugo Amadi

Josh Kalu

Jon Robinson has thrown curveball after curveball to the secondary with all the moves he has made in the past few weeks.

While it's been hard to gauge who's ahead in the battle, at the end of the day, I think this group will come down to two factors: Versatility and special teams.

With question marks about the Titans' cornerback depth,Ugo AmadiandLonnie Johnson's capability in the nickel will go a long way. Theo Jackson also has experience being the "tight end stopper" that Dane Cruikshank once was in Tennessee.

Kalu is a wildcard, and he's probably 53/53 for me, but his special teams impact could give him the nod over Colbert, Moore, and Gillespie, who have not stood out and/or have not been on the field.

Cornerbacks (5)

Kristian Fulton

Roger McCreary

Caleb Farley

Elijah Molden

Greg Mabin

While I expect Amadi and Johnson to both work over here if they make the team, I still think the Titans keep five true cornerbacks on the 53-man.

The top four are set in stone, and the question now lies with Greg Mabin and Chris Jackson for who will be CB5.

Neither has had a particularly strong camp, and I thought Shakur Brown would've been the favorite to win the job before his injury. I could honestly flip a coin on this one, and it may end up being someone not with the team yet.

Specialists (3)

Randy Bullock, K

Ryan Stonehouse, P

Morgan Cox, LS

Yes, that's right. I've got Ryan Stonehouse winning the punter battle and Brett Kern's time in Tennessee coming to an end.

Keeping the rookie not only saves the Titans a little money against the cap, but it also give them more contract control moving forward and a huge leg that can swing field position in Tennessee's favor regularly.

The Titans wanted Stonehouse to work on his touch from 40-60 yards out in the final weeks of camp, and he did a nice job of demonstrating that against Arizona on Saturday.

With the Buffalo Bills releasing Matt Araiza, the writing may be on the wall for Kern, who grew up in Grand Island, NY, just 12 miles north of Buffalo.
