Happy Sunday morning! This is trending sports writer Nick Gray.

Titans training camp and preseason continues. Coming out of Tennessee's loss to Baltimore on Thursday, the focus was on rookies Malik Willis and Treylon Burks. Willis made some highlight-reel plays and some mistakes, the kind of performance expected from a rookie in his first preseason game.

Burks has been up-and-down in his first preseason and was held without a catch on Thursday. Columnist Gentry Estes wrote about Burks' training camp and the misconceptions about his first camp as a Titan.

Titans beat reporter Ben Arthur also projected the Titans' 53-man roster as it stands to this point, about halfway through the preseason.
