NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans are cutting a training camp roster down to 53 players on Tuesday and have made some critical decisions about the wide receiver room in the process.
With the injuries to Treylon Burks and Kyle Philips, there were a lot of questions about what the Titans might do at wide receiver to begin the season. Managing that group throughout roster cuts required GM Ran Carthon to make some difficult decisions.
But with the team moving on from Racey McMath, Mason Kinsey, Tre'Shaun Harrison, and Reggie Roberson Jr. on Tuesday, we now know which wide receivers have made the Titans' 53-man roster. In total, the Titans are expected to keep seven receivers, but it's possible that Philips could be headed to Injured Reserve before the season begins.
In one of the more notable cut day decisions, former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver and national champion Kearis Jackson made Tennessee's 53-man roster. Jackson got a lot of work returning both kicks and punts with Philips out in the preseason, and he is an early candidate to handle those responsibilities when the regular season begins.
Local product and 2023 seventh-round draft pick Colton Dowell also made the cut.
Here's a look at the fate of every Titans wide receiver on cut day:
WR DeAndre Hopkins – ROSTER
WR Treylon Burks – ROSTER
WR Kyle Philips – ROSTER
WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine – ROSTER
WR Chris Moore – ROSTER
WR Kearis Jackson – ROSTER
WR Colton Dowell – ROSTER
WR Mason Kinsey – CUT
WR Racey McMath – CUT
WR Tre'Shaun Harrison – CUT
WR Reggie Roberson Jr. – CUT
WR Gavin Holmes – CUT
Some of these players could get brought back onto the practice squad over the next few days and receive future game elevations. But for now, the Titans have their 2023 receiving corps set.
