Chimere Dike - Rotates in after Ayomanor Dike recorded one reception on two targets for six yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Dike received his first target early in the third quarter, notably rotating in after Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson. His first opportunity was a deep shot from Brandon Allen, and he then hauled in his next target for a six-yard gain. Dike also returned one kickoff for 32 yards, which could be one of his primary roles to begin the regular season.

Kalel Mullings - Still competing for depth spot Mullings rushed the ball seven times for 33 yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Mullings entered the game after Julius Chestnut in the third quarter, but he did earn one carry on Chestnut's opening drive. That suggests he remains fourth on the depth chart for the time being, but that he could be pushing Chestnut. The battle is likely to continue for the rest of the preseason and could take on added significance if Tyjae Spears (ankle) remains sidelined into the regular season.

Julius Chestnut - Third running back to enter game Chestnut carried the ball three times for 18 yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Chestnut was the third Titans' running back to enter the game behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears (ankle), though he did cede one carry to Kaleel Mullings on his opening drive. Chestnut and Mullings are likely to continue to battle for positioning on the running back depth chart during the preseason, which has potentially taken on additional importance due to the injury to Spears.
