Titans project tight ends on 53-man roster ahead of training camp
Summary

The Tennessee Titans are projecting to keep four tight ends on their initial 53-man roster ahead of the NFL training camp. Gunnar Helm is expected to step up as the primary receiver at the position after the departure of Chig Okonkwo. Daniel Bellinger, signed to a multi-year contract worth $24 million, will serve as the team's primary blocker while also looking to expand his role in the passing game. Kylen Granson and rookie Jaren Kanak are also in the mix, with Granson holding a slight edge in the competition. These tight ends are anticipated to play a significant role in Brian Daboll's offensive scheme.
