Now that ten practices of 2019 Tennessee Titans Training Camp have come and gone, it's possible to have a substantive look back at which players have shined and which haven't.

In this post, I'll be taking a look at four Titans players whose respective stocks have risen, and four whose stocks have fallen.

STOCK UP: TE MyCole Pruitt/Anthony Firkser

I'm listing Firkser and Pruitt as a single entity in this post mainly because the reason that each of their stocks has risen is the same.

The absence of Jonnu Smith—who is still recovering from a knee injury that cut his 2018 season short—has paved the way for the two guys behind him on the depth chart, Pruitt and Firkser, to get a lot of extra opportunities.

With those opportunities, Pruitt and Firkser have made good things happen throughout Training Camp. Firkser continues to be a reliable target over the middle of the field, rarely letting a pass go through his hands and doing a nice job of getting himself open.

Pruitt has gotten a lot of targets going back to OTAs. His athleticism has repeatedly come to the surface during practices.

While there is certainly a chance that one of these two players ultimately does not make the Titans' final 53-man roster, each of them has improved their chances to this point of camp.

STOCK DOWN: WR A.J. Brown

The old cliche, "availability is the best ability," is ringing true for receiver A.J. Brown, the Titans' second-round pick from the 2019 NFL Draft. The Ole Miss product suffered some kind of leg injury early on in the very first practice of Training Camp, and he has missed every practice since then.

In recent days, Brown has been seen on the field wearing his jersey and occasionally helping out with individual drills in a very limited capacity. This would seem to indicate that he is nearing a return.

Still, there is no way for Brown to make up the time that he missed, which could prove to be detrimental to how much he can be relied upon by the Titans' offense once the season starts.

Head coach Mike Vrabel always says that the most important relationship on a football team is that of a quarterback and his receivers. By missing the first ten practices of camp (and likely more in the future), Brown has missed opportunities to develop chemistry with QB Marcus Mariota and to get on the same page with him.

Only time will tell if the missed time comes back to bite Brown.

STOCK UP: S Amani Hooker

It sure felt like a steal when the Titans nabbed Iowa's Amani Hooker in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. That's looking to be the case so far in Training Camp.

Hooker has gotten a lot of playing time in camp so far, and he is continuing to earn the respect of his coaches and teammates. Vrabel commented that Hooker rarely makes the same mistake twice, indicating that he's taken well to coaching thus far in his short career.

If Hooker continues to prove himself worthy to Titans coaches, he could become a key part of their defense. His ability to play multiple positions and learn quickly make him very valuable.

The Titans had a good secondary before drafting Hooker. Even though he will be a backup barring injury, his presence will make them even better.

STOCK DOWN: LB Kamalei Correa

It's looking like Kamalei Correa, who the Titans acquired last season in a trade with the Ravens, has an uphill battle to make the team's final 53-man roster for a pair of reasons.

First, there is a bit of a logjam at the backend of the position. Behind roster locks Cameron Wake, Harold Landry and Sharif Finch, the Titans have a trio of players who have a legitimate shot to stick around following final cuts on August 31.

In addition to Correa, that trio includes rookies D'Andre Walker (5th round pick) and Derick Roberson (UDFA). Walker, based on his draft status, and Roberson, based on his untapped potential and youth, both seem to be ahead of Correa in that pecking order at this point.

Second, Correa hasn't really done anything to separate himself from the pack at his position. Aside from some early flashes when he joined the Titans last year, Correa didn't produce much. He's also been mostly invisible over the course of Training Camp.

Correa gave the Titans some much-needed depth last season and, though they did give up draft capital for him, it looks to be getting close to being time for them to move on.

STOCK UP: LB Cameron Wake

Amazingly, it seems pretty clear that Titans linebacker Cameron Wake, age 37, still has some gas in the tank. He has consistently caught the eye of reporters during Training Camp, both for his on-field feats and his remarkable physique.

When the Titans signed Wake during free agency, many people thought that his role with the team would be very limited due to his age. However, it's looking more and more like the Titans are going to try and get as much out of Wake as they can.

Along with a handful of other veterans on the roster, Wake has been given multiple "maintenance days" off of practice to help keep him fresh. When he has been on the practice field, though, it's been as a starter.

It shouldn't be too difficult for Wake to be an improvement off of what Brian Orakpo (1.5 sacks in 2018) mustered for the Titans last year as their starting edge rusher, but there's a chance for him to be a pretty big improvement.

STOCK DOWN: WR Taywan Taylor

It hasn't been all bad for Taywan Taylor during Training Camp. He's had his share of nice plays.

But with the emergence of Tajaé Sharpe (more to come on that front) and the handful of poor plays that he has produced in practice lately, Taylor seems to be in line to, at best, be the Titans fifth option at wide receiver this season.

He has repeatedly shown to be deficient when it comes to tracking the ball in flight, something that's absolutely crucial for a receiver whose role is as a downfield threat.

Prior to Cameron Batson sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury last week in practice, it looked like Taylor's spot on the Titans' final roster could be threatened. Though it now looks like Taylor is a relative lock to make it past final cuts, his actual standing within the offense seems to be grim.

STOCK UP: WR Tajaé Sharpe

The man whose hip hop alter-ego is "The Show" has been just that in practice for the Titans. Tajaé Sharpe has been, for lack of a better term, a beast for the Titans offense as of late.

He's come down with contested catches, consistently managed to get himself open in third-down situations, and been an overall reliable target for Mariota.

Sharpe has also been a go-to target in red-zone drills, and for good reason. He has shown a knack for coming down with the ball in the corner of the end zone.

In the past, Sharpe has struggled to translate success on the practice field to gamedays. Perhaps this is the year it finally happens.

STOCK DOWN: RB Derrick Henry

Like A.J. Brown, Derrick Henry was injured very early on in the Titans' first practice of Training Camp and has yet to see any action since then. Though Henry is a veteran, the missed time still has the potential to be very detrimental.

Henry, perhaps more than any other running back in the NFL, benefits from being in a rhythm. Early last season, when his touches were volatile and inconsistent, he performed at a very low level.

Once the Titans began using him consistently as a bell-cow, though, he was a force to be reckoned with.

If Henry is forced to miss most or all of the Titans' preseason games, it would keep him from getting into a rhythm prior to the start of the season. That would not bode well for the Titans offense.

Marcus Mariota is an exponentially more effective quarterback when he's helped out by a quality rushing attack, and the Titans need Henry to give him that.
