Projecting Titans’ starting defense going into training camp

After going over our offensive projections earlier this week, it’s time to turn our attention to the other side of the ball as we go over which defensive players we project will be starters for the Tennessee Titans.

To be perfectly honest, this article won’t have too many real surprises, and that’s ultimately fantastic news because that means there really aren’t too many starting jobs to be had on defense.

The majority of the question marks on the defensive side of the ball revolve around the questionable depth behind the starters at several different spots.

Obviously, each team only has 11 players on the field at once, but I’m also including the nickelback position, so there will be a total of 12 players listed below.

Now that we cleared that up, let’s find out which defensive players are projected to start as we get set to officially start the Titans’ 2023 training camp next week.
