The circumstances surrounding Tennessee Titans cornerback Alontae Taylor has been one of the more disappointing storylines to develop this season. Taylor was benched in consecutive Weeks (6 and 7) after failing to meet expectations. The problem may have solved itself in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Taylor had been benched at cornerback in favor of Joshua Williams. The Titans were adament that Taylor was capable of playing boundary cornerback after signing him to a three-year, $58 million contract in free agency. It took a five-week sample size for Robert Saleh and staff to change their minds.
