AFC Notes: Colts, Texans, Titans

Texans

• When examining the Texans’ biggest position battles for training camp, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic mentions that WRs Keke Coutee and DeAndre Carter will be fighting for backup slot receiver duties. 
• At tight end, Reiss writes that Texans TEs Jordan Thomas and second-year Kahale Warring will likely compete for a final spot on the roster as Houston’s third-stringer. 
• Reiss expects “every other role” behind Texans CB Gareon Conley to be up for grabs with Bradley Roby, Lonnie Johnson and Phillip Gaines competing for time on the outside
• Texans’ slot CB Vernon Hargreaves is expected to face competition from fourth-round CB John Reid.
• Reiss writes that safeties Michael Thomas, Jaylen Watkins, and A.J. Moore will likely compete for the Texans’ third safety role. 
• As for the Texans’ swing tackle job, Reiss could see Houston deciding to keep Roderick Johnson if fourth-round OL Charlie Heck is not ready for playing time. 

Titans

• Jim Wyatt of the team website writes Titans WRs Kalif Raymond and Cameron Batson will be battling it out at the end of the roster and it’s not out of the question both could stick on the final 53. 
• Wyatt believes Titans WR Adam Humphries will be better in 2020, as his first year in Tennessee after signing as a free agent was affected by an ankle injury. 
• ESPN’s Turron Davenport writes the biggest question for the Titans in 2020 is if QB Ryan Tannehill can keep up his high level of production. Even if Tannehill can’t duplicate his 70.3 completion percentage and 9.6 YPA, Davenport thinks he can still be productive. 
• Entering a contract year, Titans WR Corey Davis will look to increase his consistency and his production as Tennessee’s No. 2 receiver, per Davenport. 
• Davenport notes Titans DL DaQuan Jones, LB Rashaan Evans and S Kevin Byard will be expected to take on bigger roles as team leaders following the trade of DT Jurrell Casey.
