Tennessee Titans Set Initial 53-Man Roster including 11 Rookies

The Tennessee Titans have set their initial 53-man roster for the regular season as they prepare to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 1.

The Tennessee Titans have finally completed their first 53-man roster of the 2023 season as we sit less than two weeks away from the regular season kickoff against the New Orleans Saints. While most of the roster turned out as expected, there were a few surprises as well.

Quarterback (3)

Ryan Tannehill, Malik Willis, Will Levis

Running back (3)

 Derrick Henry, Tyjae Spears, Julius Chestnut

Wide receiver (7) 

DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks, Kyle Philips, Chris Moore, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Colten Dowell, Kearis Jackson

Tight end (3)

 Chig Okonkwo, Trevon Wesco, Josh Whyle

Offensive tackle (4)

 Andre Dillard, Chris Hubbard, Jaelyn Duncan, Justin Murray

Interior offensive line (6)

 Aaron Brewer, Peter Skoronski, Daniel Brunskill, Corey Levin, Xavier Newman-Johnson, Dillon Radunz

Interior defensive line (5)

Jeffery Simmons, Denico Autry, Teair Tart, Naquan Jones, Jayden Peevy

Edge/Outside linebackers (4)

Harold Landry, Arden Key, Rashad Weaver, Caleb Murphy

Inside linebackers (5)

Azeez Al-Shaair, Jack Gibbens, Monty Rice, Luke Gifford, Otis Reese Jr.

Cornerbacks (5)

 Kristian Fulton, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roger McCreary, Tre Avery, Kendall Anthony

Safeties (5)

 Kevin Byard, Amani Hooker, Elijah Molden, Mike Brown, Matthew Jackson

Special teams (3)

 Ryan Stonehouse (punter), Nick Folk(kicker), Morgan Cox (long snapper)

The Titans kept five undrafted rookies on this year's team in Kearis Jackson, Caleb Murphy, Otis Reese Jr, Matthew Jackson and Kendall Anthony. Quite an accomplishment for those young players and quite a surprise to see so many find a way to stick on the team.

The Titans have a new front office though and that could have led to more young change than expected. However, it is worth considering that the Titans will still make moves between now and next week.

Odds are the Titans use a waiver claim or two or also bring in more players after they pass through waivers on Wednesday. This roster is far from set for the regular season, but seeing the initial group after wading through training camp is nice.
