Tennessee Titans sophomore linebacker James Williams entered training camp with an opportunity to start next to Cody Barton. Unfortunately for Williams, he was defeated in a position battle by Cedric Gray. Gray is third in the NFL in tackles with 102, and has arguably been the Titans' best defender this season.
That's meant little-to-no playing time for Williams. In fact, he's played zero snaps on defense through 11 weeks. Barton and Gray have essentially taken every snap at linebacker, with once-veteran practice squad call-up Kyzir White playing ahead of Williams in Week 3.
WIlliams has been a core special teamer, playing the second-most snaps (202) on that unit.
