While cuts are happening fast and furious, we did get a bit of news on two players who will make the Tennessee Titans’ 53-man roster.
According to Draft Wire’s Justin Melo and Terry McCormick of Titan Insider, both wide receiver Cameron Batson and defensive back Chris Jackson will make the Titans’ initial 53-man roster.
Rookie Chris Jackson has been informed he has made the #Titans 53-man roster.

Jackson was a seventh-round pick of the Titans in 2020, but figured to have an uphill climb to make the roster; however, apparently he did enough to impress and make the cut.
There had been rumblings in recent days that Jackson’s chances were looking good, so this isn’t a total shock.
Titans making Chris Jackson available for interviews tomorrow. Has been largely starters/high pick rookies. Is this a sign? Heard from @CharlesRobinson today on @1025TheGame that there’s buzz in the league that he has impressed. This may be a 53-man projection error.

Ask him about his reps at nickel.

Meanwhile, Batson’s earning a roster spot means the Titans now have five wide receivers locked in when you include A.J. Brown, Corey Davis, Adam Humphries and Kalif Raymond. It remains to be seen if the Titans will carry a sixth receiver, though.
Batson didn’t play at all in 2019 after suffering an injury in training camp. He’s slate to be the No. 5 wide receiver and could contribute in the return game in 2020.
