Julius Chestnut Trending Toward Making Active Roster
1 year agoTennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut has been impressive in the team's two preseason games thus far, handling 20 carries for 144 yards (7.2 YPC) and one rushing touchdown. As a receiver, he's hauled in three passes for 16 yards and a score. He's also impressed head coach Mike Vrabel on special teams, which is key for reserve running backs to make the active roster. "He's a worker, probably one of the best finishers on our football team," Vrabel said. "You guys watch practice. You see No. 36 hauling down the field when he doesn't have the ball, that's how he plays without the football." Chestnut could be staking a claim for the RB3 job behind Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears, meaning Hassan Haskins, Jonathan Ward, and Jacques Patrick could be at risk of being released.
