Tennessee Titans rookie Keldric Faulk is anticipated to be available for the regular season opener against the New York Jets. Faulk, the team's first-round draft pick, sustained a shoulder injury last week and will not practice this week, though head coach Robert Saleh indicated that Faulk should be ready for Week 1. The Titans have depth on the defensive line, which provides some reassurance if Faulk cannot play at the start of the season. Despite concerns over the defense's performance in previous preseason games, there is optimism about their potential under Saleh's coaching.
