Tyler Lockett's preseason with the Tennessee Titans concluded with a minimal showing in the 23-13 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. While Lockett didn't register a catch on his single target during the game, his presence on the field hints at a potential role as a key slot receiver for the team.
Lockett technically didn't start the game, as the Titans opted to open with two other receivers. However, quarterback Cameron Ward targeted him on the second play of the game. This single target marked Lockett's only appearance in the box score, leaving him with just one catch for the entire preseason.
Despite the quiet preseason, Lockett's expected role as the primary slot receiver provides optimism for his potential impact during the regular season. He will be looking to make a significant contribution in the Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Lockett's Potential Role in Titans' Offense
The Titans are likely hoping Lockett can bring a veteran presence and reliable hands to the slot receiver position. His experience in the league should allow him to quickly integrate into the Titans' offensive scheme. The team is banking on him to be a reliable target for their quarterbacks.
Looking Ahead to Week 1
All eyes will be on Tyler Lockett as the Titans prepare for their Week 1 game against the Denver Broncos. It will be interesting to see how the Titans utilize him in the passing game and whether he can establish himself as a consistent contributor.
