The Tennessee Titans will have to trim their roster from 80 players to 53 on Saturday.

Here’s who I see making it past the final cut.

Quarterback (3)

• Ryan Tannehill
• Logan Woodside
• Trevor Siemian

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.

The Titans better hope nothing happens to him, though, because the backup spot proved to be more than a question mark during Training Camp.

Woodside, though he has limited talent, is a smart guy and hard worker who the Titans like. He seems to have the backup spot nailed down, for now.

However, the team will likely keep Siemian around. He's a veteran, and having three quarterbacks isn't a bad idea amid the coronavirus.

Running Back (4)

• Derrick Henry
• Darrynton Evans (R)
• Jeremy McNichols
• 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.

Evans' status is unknown right now, though, as he practiced Thursday for the first time in over a week. The team brought in McNichols, who spent 2019 Training Camp with the Titans, to be an insurance policy.

McNichols, a versatile running back with good pass-catching skills, had a very solid preseason in 2019 and figures to stick around at least as long as Evans is on the mend, perhaps longer.

Wide Receiver (5)

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

Raymond's impressive Training Camp performance and clear improvement have solidified him as the Titans' No. 4 receiver.

Behind him, Davis looks to be in line for the No. 5 spot. Cody Hollister and Cameron Batson each have a shot, but Davis' solid pedigree as a punt returner likely will be his saving grace.

Tight End (4)

• Jonnu Smith
• Anthony Firkser
• MyCole Pruitt
• Geoff Swaim

This was a strong unit in 2019, and the addition of Swaim to the fold should make it stronger.

Swaim was a mid-Training Camp addition to the roster, but a lack of quality depth at both tight end and receiver should lead to him sticking around past final cuts.

Offensive Tackle (4)

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

Lewan and Kelly are firmly entrenched as the starters, here. Wilson, the team's first-round pick in 2020, will be the first backup option.

Sambrailo has a lot of experience as a swing tackle and was a savvy free agency acquisition. He's pretty much a lock to make the final cut, and his versatility gives the team good value.

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
• Wyatt Ray

Keeping six edge pass rushers would perhaps be a bit much in some cases. But, for the Titans, that's likely the number they'll be forced to go with.

Beasley, referred to by national NFL columnist Peter King as "the biggest ghost in the NFL right now," has yet to practice and, as of this list being published, remains on the Titans "non-football injury" list (though he worked out with Mike Vrabel on the side-practice field Thursday).

Roberson was carted off the field during Tuesday's practice with an injury that, even if not severe, could keep him out for at least a few weeks.

There are too many question marks at this position for the Titans to enter the season with a thin group. Ray performed well in Training Camp practices, and the team seems to like him.

Thanks to all the uncertainty of Beasley and Roberson's injury, he should stick.

Inside Linebacker (5)

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

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.

Dzubnar is a quality special teamer, and Compton returns after a solid stint with the Raiders in 2019.

Defensive Line (5)

• Jeffery Simmons
• DaQuan Jones
• Larrell Murchison (R)
• Jack Crawford
• 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.

Rookie Chris Jackson, simply due to inexperience and the numbers not being in his favor, probably will miss the cut but, in all likelihood, will be signed to the practice squad at the start of Week One.

Safety (4)

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

This is a solid quartet, but it leaves off Joshua Kalu. Kalu is a solid special teams player with a knack for blocking field goals, but the numbers just aren't in his favor. He's not a good enough defensive back to warrant taking a roster spot, at this point.

Defensive back was the toughest position for me to nail down on this list, and I could very well have it wrong. This is how I see things playing out, though.

Specialist (3)

• Stephen Gostkowski
• Brett Kern
• Beau Brinkley

The 2019 Titans were one of the worst kicking teams in the history of the NFL. On Thursday, they signed veteran Stephen Gostkowski in an attempt to remedy the situation.

Gostkowski, a three-time Super Bowl champion, has been one of the NFL's best kickers over his 14-year career. He's an infinitely better option than the two kickers who competed for the Titans in Training Camp, Greg Joseph and Tucker McCann.

Best of the Rest

• DB Joshua Kalu
• OL David Quessenberry
• CB Chris Jackson
• CB Kareem Orr
• DL Matt Dickerson
• WR Cody Hollister
• WR Cameron Batson
