Joshua Williams closing in on key role in Titans' secondary
Summary

Tennessee Titans cornerback Joshua Williams is progressing toward a potential contribution on defense as the preseason continues. Williams has been wearing a yellow non-contact jersey due to a pectoral injury but is reportedly close to returning to full participation in practice. Head coach Robert Saleh has acknowledged the Titans' defensive struggles, particularly in the secondary, and emphasized a sense of urgency as they look for solutions. With significant investments in cornerbacks Cor’Dale Flott and Alontae Taylor, Williams could be poised to step in if they continue to face challenges. As he aims for complete fitness, Williams, who has a history with the Kansas City Chiefs, may eventually play a key reserve role.
