The Tennessee Titans are excited about their linebacker core heading into Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Denver Broncos. Veteran addition Cody Barton is the unquestioned leader (and captain) of the group. Elsewhere, sophomore options James Williams and Cedric Gray have both taken developmental steps forward this offseason.
Williams began training camp as the in-house favorite to start opposite Barton. Gray made a valiant effort towards the conclusion of the preseason to battle for playing time. The Titans haven't named an official starter.
None of that prevented general manager Mike Borgonzi from adding another veteran to the fray, however.
