Titans-Bears: 3 Titans players to watch

The Tennessee Titans have dropped their last two preseason games in Nissan Stadium, but travel to Soldier Field on Thursday night looking to bounce back.

In the final week of the preseason, the Titans have a lot of considering to do as they prepare to trim down to the final 53-man roster ahead of Week 1.

Here are three Titans to make note of just ahead of the regular season.

1. RB Jeremy McNichols

McNichols has gotten looks all throughout camp and preseason, but it’s going to be hard for the Titans to justify opening up a fourth spot at running back on the roster.

He’s been a dual threat, efficient on the ground and as a receiver. McNichols’ stock has shot up this offseason, and he’s shown he can be counted on to put points on the board.

He has his final chance to prove he deserves to join the ranks of Derrick Henry, Dion Lewis and David Fluellen tonight.

2. QB Logan Woodside

It’s going to be just as difficult for the Titans to keep an additional quarterback as it is for them to bring on an extra running back, but hardly anyone has made as strong of a case for themselves at the position than Woodside.

He’s shown a lot of potential this offseason, drawing positive reviews from his teammates and coaching staff.

Even if he doesn’t crack the roster, expect him to end up on another team or on the practice squad.

3. WR Kalif Raymond

No other darkhorse wideout was as talked about as Raymond was this offseason. He’s surpassed all of the initial expectations for him, but faces a crowded wide receiver room in his quest for a roster spot.

He gets his final chance to prove he’s worthy of making the cut Thursday.
