Day 2 of Tennessee Titans training camp was a lot like the first, just with fewer cornerbacks.

The Titans took the practice field Thursday for the second day in a row, continuing their march toward their first preseason game on Aug. 10. Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed was limited in practice for load management reasons relating to a lingering knee injury from his past.

Fellow cornerback Chidobe Awuzie missed Thursday's practice and will miss at least a few weeks more with a calf injury. Elsewhere on the field, linebacker Harold Landry is still missing with an illness, journeymen Shane Ray and Corey Levin signed to the roster and rookie running back Dillon Johnson was released.

Now that the clerical stuff is out of the way, let's get to some overreactions. Here are some big opinions about the little things we saw on the second day of Titans practice.

THE BIG MAN MAKING BIG PLAYS: Titans T'Vondre Sweat feels great, is moving well and won't back down on where 'the real UT' is

I'm cautiously optimistic about JC Latham

This time last year, the only thing we could talk about from training camp was how good the defensive line looked. The edge rushers were everywhere. Sacks were up. Yours truly may or may not have posted the bold prediction that the Titans had the NFL's best front four.

As it turned out, the offensive line was just bad. Live and learn.

I'm not making any sweeping statements about the offensive line being significantly better this year until we see the Titans practice with pads on. But I will say this: JC Latham, the first-round pick the Titans are trotting out at left tackle, isn't a turnstile. In fact, he looks pretty solid. In team drills Thursday, I noticed only one pass rep where he ever needed help from a running back. More often than not, he keeps his edge rusher on the edge and away from the quarterback.

Now, a couple of things: One, the pads aren't on. Two, the Titans really aren't trying anything downfield yet. And three, Landry's absence, coupled with Denico Autry's departure in free agency, means Latham isn't facing the same arsenal last year's tackles had to. But the first two days have been encouraging. At the very least, he's handling the thud-through days of camp better than his predecessors did.

LEVIS WATCH: Will Levis stats: Play-by-play rundown of every pass Titans' QB threw at Wednesday practice

We know Roger McCreary can be good. Can he be really good?

The play of the day for my book came in 7-on-7 drills. Quarterback Will Levis had receiver Tyler Boyd streaking wide open down the middle of the field toward the end zone. Levis lofted a beaut of a ball just about precisely where it needs to be. Boyd stretched out his arms. But cornerback Roger McCreary got there first and swatted the ball away. McCreary celebrated with his fellow defenders, and even Boyd had to hand it to McCreary, chasing down his new teammate to make sure to dap him up for the nice play.

With Sneed limited and Awuzie out, that's a lot of pressure on McCreary. He seems to be handling it well, and he looks like he could be one of the Titans' best players regardless of position this season, especially if he gets to camp out in the nickel all year instead of roving inside and out.

Here's who I think should make the team today: TE Thomas Odukoya

I've long joked that the easiest way to get a cult following as a football player is to be a seldom-used tight end. Every football fan thinks they've cracked the code when they think their team needs to use the tight end more. And you know what? Fair. Tight ends are rad.

Take Thomas Odukoya. Heading into his third season with the Titans as part of the NFL's International Pathways Program, the native of the Netherlands made a couple of impressive plays in the passing game. Namely, he burst for what likely would've been a long touchdown catch on a post in 7-on-7s, prompting a coach from the sideline to yell "He's TNT! He's explosive!" during the celebration. And anyone who watched the Titans in the preseason last year knows Odukoya can also run block with the best of them.

So maybe this year is finally Odukoya's time to make the roster? Or maybe not. Odukoya is quite literally the only tight end Titans coach Brian Callahan didn't mention by name in response to a question about his tight ends Thursday during a news conference.

Nevertheless, he earns Thursday's honor of Player Who Maybe Should Make The Titans.
