The cool thing about a team's first training camp with a new coach is that just about every job on the field feels up for grabs.

The Tennessee Titans report for camp on Tuesday, beginning the five-week journey toward cut day on Aug. 27, when rosters must be trimmed from 90 players to 53. Here at The Tennessean, we'll be monitoring the Titans' roster trends throughout training camp with weekly looks at how the depth chart is coming together.

Today, before things get started, we're going position by position to highlight the likely starters, expected backups and players fighting for roster spots. Here's The Tennessean's pre-training camp projection for what the Titans' depth chart will look like come Aug. 27.

TEAM MADE BETTER? Unpacking ways Jamal Adams makes Tennessee Titans better, and which holes remain unplugged

Tennessee Titans depth chart: Offense

Quarterback

• Starter: Will Levis

• Backup: Mason Rudolph

• Fighting for roster spot: Malik Willis

Battle to watch: The only real conversation is if Willis hangs around for Year 3 in Nashville after two underwhelming seasons.

Running back

• Starters: Tyjae Spears, Tony Pollard

• Backup: Hassan Haskins

• Fighting for roster spot: Julius Chestnut, Dillon Johnson, Jabari Small

Battle to watch: Give Haskins the lead for the backup job at the moment, especially because of his ability to play big and physical. But expect competition, and don't be shocked if four backs find their way on to the roster for the special teams edge.

RB TALK: Replacing Derrick Henry doesn't end with Spears, Pollard: Tennessee Titans search for RB3

Wide receiver

• Starters: DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd

• Backups: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Treylon Burks, Jha'Quan Jackson

• Fighting for roster spot: Mason Kinsey, Kearis Jackson, Kyle Philips, Tre'Shaun Harrison

• Injured: Colton Dowell

Battle to watch: Jha'Quan Jackson's ability to hold off practice squad veterans Kinsey, Harrison and Kearis Jackson for playing time will be huge, even if coach Brian Callahan's scheme probably justifies carrying up to eight receivers.

Tight end

• Starters: Chig Okonkwo, Josh Whyle

• Backup: Nick Vannett

• Fighting for roster spot: Thomas Odukoya, Steven Stilianos, David Martin-Robinson

Battle to watch: Based on OTAs and minicamp, it's going to be interesting to see if Whyle and Okonkwo end up playing 1A and 1B roles, or if there's a true featured starter.

TE TALK: Travis Kelce, George Kittle's tight end camp a reminder of Tennessee Titans' weak spot

Tackle

• Starters: JC Latham, Nicholas Petit-Frere

• Backup: Geron Christian

• Fighting for roster spot: Leroy Watson, Jaelyn Duncan, John Ojukwu

Battle to watch: Petit-Frere's name is written here in the lightest of pencil after missing most of last season and on-field offseason activities. Watson, Duncan and Ojukwu (plus Dillon Radunz) all could find themselves anywhere from fighting for that right tackle spot, earning a backup role, on the practice squad or cut.

Guard

• Starters: Peter Skoronski, Saahdiq Charles

• Backup: Daniel Brunskill, Dillon Radunz

• Fighting for roster spot: Lachavious Simmons

Battle to watch: Brunskill is the returning starter at right guard, and he acquitted himself fairly well on a bad unit last year. His value as a backup who can also play center complicates things, but if he's one of the best five, he'll start.

Center

• Starter: Lloyd Cushenberry

• Backup: Daniel Brunskill

• Fighting for roster spot: Andrew Rupcich

Battle to watch: If Brunskill does win the right guard job, can any other options emerge as a possibility at backup center?

Tennessee Titans depth chart: Defense and special teams

Defensive line

• Starters: Jeffery Simmons, Sebastian Joseph-Day, T'Vondre Sweat

• Fighting for roster spot: Keondre Coburn, Marlon Davidson, Quinton Bohanna, TK McLendon

Battle to watch: Sweat's status in the top tier hasn't really been earned yet, and the gaggle of returning contributors below him all need to do something to separate themselves from the pack.

Outside linebacker

• Starters: Harold Landry, Arden Key

• Backup: Rashad Weaver

• Fighting for roster spot: Jaylen Harrell, Caleb Murphy, Thomas Rush

Battle to watch: Weaver could make the jump into the top-tier of the rotation, especially if Key needs to play on more of an every-down basis, but the younger trio is nipping at his heels.

Inside linebacker

• Starters: Kenneth Murray, Jack Gibbens

• Backups: Cedric Gray, Chance Campbell

• Fighting for roster spot: Luke Gifford, Otis Reese, Garret Wallow, James Williams

Battle to watch: A lot will be made of whether Gray can overtake Gibbens for a starting role, as it should be, but the fight for Campbell, Gifford and Reese to stay on the squad and Williams to make the team should be just as interesting.

Cornerback

• Starters: L'Jarius Sneed, Chidobe Awuzie, Roger McCreary

• Backups: Jarvis Brownlee

• Fighting for roster spot: Tre Avery, Caleb Farley, Eric Garror, Gabe Jeudy-Lally, Anthony Kendall

Battle to watch: Avery, Farley and Garror all have fascinating cases to make the team, but Jeudy-Lally was undeniably impressive during minicamp and OTAs.

CRUCIAL AREAS: Tennessee Titans copied NFL's best rebuild stories in 1 crucial way, and it should pay off

Safety

• Starters: Amani Hooker, Elijah Molden, Jamal Adams

• Backup: Mike Brown

• Fighting for roster spot: Matthew Jackson

Battle to watch: Adams is a former All-Pro, but he hasn't shown that same skill for a few years now. Does he step in and take over Molden's job, or is Molden still a starter, with Adams coming in for situational work?

Kicker

• Starter: Nick Folk

• Fighting for roster spot: Brayden Narveson

Battle to watch: Let's not pretend this is a competition, but maybe Narveson can make the practice squad.

Punter

• Starter: Ty Zentner

• Injured: Ryan Stonehouse

Battle to watch: Not so much a battle as it is a quest to monitor Stonehouse's recovery from knee surgery.

Kickoff/punt returner

• Starters: Tyjae Spears, Jha'Quan Jackson, Treylon Burks

• Backups: Tony Pollard

• Fighting for roster spot: Mason Kinsey, Kyle Philips, Eric Garror, Kearis Jackson, Jabari Small

Battle to watch: The new kickoff rule favors players like Burks and Pollard in the return game. Is this finally the place for Burks to flash his skill set?
