The contest will feature the preseason debut of running back Todd Gurley, who was a healthy scratch last week against the Cowboys.
“I don’t know how much, but he’s going to play. Maybe a series, maybe two,” head coach Jeff Fisher said. “A couple carries, maybe some protection stuff and then get him out.”
Still recovering from his ACL tear in November 2014, Gurley did not take a snap during the 2015 preseason. But that did not stop him from becoming the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Nevertheless, Gurley sees value in August game reps.
