Titans’ Mike Vrabel lists candidates for right tackle spot

Among the multiple question marks on offense for the Tennessee Titans going into training camp is who will man the right tackle spot while right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere serves a suspension.

Of course, Petit-Frere will miss the first six games of the 2023 campaign after being suspended for violating the league’s gambling policy.

During his first press conference of training camp, head coach Mike Vrabel listed several players who will be competing for the job, including veteran Jamarco Jones, 2022 UDFA Andrew Rupcich, and rookies Jaelyn Duncan and John Ojukwu.

On top of those players, Vrabel also didn’t rule out first-round pick Peter Skoronski getting a look there, although he also revealed that the Northwestern product would focus on guard for now.

“Jamarco (Jones) has worked over there the first couple of days with the early report guys,” Vrabel said, per Tyler Rowland of All Titans. “I think Andrew Rupcich will play over there. Jaelyn (Duncan) will have a shot over there. O.J.(John Ojukwu) will have a chance over there.

“We’ll kind of see where things go and we’ll find the best person there.”

The Titans head coach was also asked about two veteran free agents the team worked out recently in George Fant and Chris Hubbard, but he had nothing new to report there.

In our most recent 53-man roster projection, Jones was our choice to win the job, but an addition of a veteran free-agent option like Fant or Hubbard would no doubt shake things up.
