The Tennessee Titans continue with preseason game No. 2 on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks at Nissan Stadium.
Tennessee and Seattle are both expected to sit their starters on Saturday, giving ample opportunity for the rest of the roster to show their worth. Malik Willis will start at quarterback as he gets a chance to make a move in the battle to back up Will Levis.
It also will give a chance for a number of young wide receivers battling for limited spots on the 53-man roster, including Jha’Quan Jackson, Bryce Oliver, Sam Schnee, Kearis Jackson and others.

Mason Rudolph leads the Titans down the field, and Brayden Narveson wins the game at the buzzer with a 46-yard field goal.
Rudolph completed passes to David Martin-Robinson and Julius Chestnut for first downs, then ran for his own on a scramble.
Malik Willis has had a solid camp, but he’s still missing something when it comes to live game action. Coming out of tonight’s game, the backup QB job is Rudolph’s to lose.
After the INT, the Seahawks offense picked up just enough yardage to get Jason Myers in for a 50-yard field goal, which was good.
Mason Rudolph will have a chance to put together a game-winning drive.
Brayden Narveson caps another solid Titans drive with a 59-yard field goal to give Tennessee the lead.
Some kicker-starved NFL teams will make note of Narveson’s preseason performance,
Some Titans injury updates:
Aided by Seahawks penalties, Malik Willis (back in the game at QB) and the Titans drive down the field. It ends with a Brayden Narveson 21-yard field goal. A 14-play, 73-yard drive over more than nine minutes.
Jha’Quan Jackson had a 24-yard reception from Willis as the big chunk play of the drive.
Sam Howell and the Seahawks offense drives into field goal range in the final 38 seconds of the half, and Jason Myers hits a 48-yard field goal.
Mason Rudolph is in the game for the first time, and the Titans go 78 yards in 10 plays including a Mason Kinsey 15-yard catch and a Nick Westbrook-Ikhine 15-yard touchdown catch. PAT good.
Rudolph was 3-of-4 for 40 yards on the drive. Tonight’s first half may have settled the No. 2 QB battle.
Sam Howell continues to find open receivers, but the Titans defense eventually gets a stop on a Isaiah Iton sack on third down. Jason Myers’ 27-yard field goal is good.
Malik Willis has been scrambling a lot during his three drives with the second-team offense, partially because of protection and partially due to Seattle’s coverage.
Through the three drives, the Titans offense managed 38 total yards and four first downs. Willis is 5-of-8 for 40 passing yards and 19 rushing yards.
After two 3-and-outs, the Titans second-team defense relents. Sam Howell leads an 8-play, 84-yard drive stamped by a Howell 23-yard touchdown pass to Easop Winston, who beat Tre Avery on a go-route.
PAT no good.
Jaylen Harrell busts off the edge and sacks Sam Howell, knocking the ball loose in the process. The Seahawks recover the fumble, but that was a nice power rush by the 7th round pick from Michigan.
Malik Willis is swallowed up on 3rd and long, and the Titans will punt. Ty Zentner is punting again today.
The Titans TV broadcast notes Willis play the first and third quarters as Brian Callahan efforts to get Willis and Mason Rudolph somewhat equal playing time with the No. 2 offense.
Willis did complete a pass to Julius Chestnut for a first down on the first play of the drive, but that was all the Titans offense could muster on the opening drive. John Ojukwu was flagged for a false start before the Willis sack.
