NASHVILLE – The Titans released their first 2025 Unofficial Depth Chart of the regular season on Tuesday.
The team kicks off the season on Sunday at the Denver Broncos.
Here's a look at 20 things that caught my eye when I got my hands on it:
-Cam Ward is listed as the team's starting quarterback. This is no surprise, of course. But the first overall pick of the 2025 NFL is ready to make his first career start.
-The Titans are listed with a three-receiver set, with Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett and rookie Elic Ayomanor as the starters. Immediately behind each of them: Van Jefferson, Bryce Oliver, and Chimere Dike.
-Olisaemeka Udoh is listed as Dan Moore Jr.'s back-up at left tackle, and Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson is listed behind starter JC Latham at right tackle.
-Lloyd Cushenberry is listed as the starting center, with rookie Jackson Slater listed as his back-up. Keep in mind Corey Levin is on the team's practice squad, and he potentially could be elevated for the game.
-The Titans listed one tight end in the starting lineup, and it's Chig Okonkwo.
-Gunnar Helm is listed as the second-team tight end, ahead of David Martin-Robinson.
-Tony Pollard is the starting running back, which is also no surprise. Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings are next in line. (Tyjae Spears begins the season on Injured Reserve)
-The depth chart on defense includes a 3-4 look, but also with five defensive backs, including a nickel defensive back.
-L'Jarius Sneed and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. are the starters at cornerback.
-Roger McCreary is listed as the starting nickel back.

-Cedric Gray is listed as a starter at inside linebacker, alongside Cody Barton.
-James Williams Sr. is listed behind Gray, and recently acquired Dorian Mausi is behind Barton.
-Rookie Oluwafemi Oladejo is listed as Arden Key's back-up at edge rusher. Jihad Ward is listed as the back-up behind Dre'Mont Jones on the opposite edge. Jaylen Harrell is listed as a third-teamer.
