The Tennessee Titans will continue their preseason schedule with a Saturday night matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

The Titans starters, who performed adequately in last week's preseason home-opener against the Cardinals, will have another opportunity to get some reps as they're expected to play roughly two quarters against Carolina.

As the case with most preseason contests, this evening's game will also provide Titans' roster hopefuls with additional chances to make their marks in their plights to earn roster spots.

Here are a few players/battles in particular that I'll be keeping my eyes on as the Titans face the Panthers later tonight.

Halfway through training camp, I thought it was time to revisit the roster prediction I made at the start of training camp, and take a look at how which players have seen their stock rise and fall of late, at least in my eyes.

Buoyed by a solid effort courtesy of the first-teamers, the Tennessee Titans defeated the Arizona Cardinals 24-10 in their nationally televised home preseason opener.

Vince Young played well, completing 9 of his 13 passing attempts for 128 yards while leading the team on a couple of impressive drives. Since it's the preseason, Chris Johnson's touches were limited (six rushing attempts) but per the norm, CJ's abilities were on full display via his impressive 8-yard TD run.

Up next...a few additional thoughts/observations regarding the stellar and not-so-stellar performances by the Titans last night.

The list of official inactives is out for the Titans, and includes the names you'd expect:

DT Tony Brown
CB Cortland Finnegan
DE Jacob Ford
WR Justin Gage
DE William Hayes
LB David Thornton

Kenny Britt gets the start at wideout for Justin Gage, while Dave Ball starts for Ford and Alterraun Verner gets the starting spot at corner that Ryan Mouton had last week.

Feel free to leave your comments here during tonight's game.  I'll mostly be commenting on my Twitter page, so feel free to follow along there.

I thought I'd try a new gimmick: video breakdowns of plays.  Detailed visual breakdowns of plays is something I've wanted to do for a couple years, but have never gotten around to doing.  Consider these that debut, and more as proof of concept than as something I'll do going forward.
