The Tennessee Titans have had a right tackle competition going on since the beginning of training camp, and it’s a battle that could very well last through the preseason, which will end for the team on Saturday night.
When speaking to the media before Thursday’s practice, offensive line coach Keith Carter revealed that the competition for the starting spot at right tackle may not be decided by the end of the preseason finale versus the Bears.
As of right now, veteran tackles Kendall Lamm and Ty Sambrailo, both of whom are listed as co-starters on the team’s depth chart, appear to be the favorites.

Rookie Dillon Radunz was thought to have a shot earlier in camp, and while that still might be true, he seems to be a long shot after going through the usual rookie struggles, both in practice and preseason games.
Head coach Mike Vrabel has hinted that it’s possible we’ll see more starters in preseason Week 3, but that has yet to be confirmed.
If the Titans do deploy their starters upfront, whoever lines up at right tackle with that group might give us an idea as to who is in line to get the job. If no starters play, and Lamm and Sambrailo sit out, it’ll be anyone’s guess where things stand with the regular season just a few weeks away.
