Brice McCain has upper hand for Titans' nickelback job

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- In newcomers Logan Ryan and Adoree' Jackson, the Tennessee Titans believe they have heir starting cornerbacks.

Defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau will likely try to match up Ryan on bigger guys and Jackson on quicker ones.

The nickel spot is less settled.

Incumbent Brice McCain was up and down in his first season with the Titans in 2016. He played 675 snaps, 85 percent of his total, in the slot.

After they parted ways with Perrish Cox, the Titans called on LeShaun Sims in the latter part of his rookie season, and his play was encouraging.
