Keep your eye on ...
Vince Young's accuracy: The Third-year QB struggled in the preseason, going a combined 29 of 64 and failing to lead the Titans into the endzone. Young bruised his throwing hand in the Titans' final preseason game but is still expected to start.

Rookie RB Chris Johnson: LenDale White is still the Titans' starter, but expect coach Jeff Fisher to get the ball into the hands of Johnson. The rookie showed off his speed and play-making ability with 182 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries, plus seven receptions, during the preseason.

Jaguars receiver Matt Jones: Jones has shown flashes of becoming an every-down NFL receiver in the past two years, but the Jaguars believe he is ready to turn the corner this season. With Jerry Porter expected to miss the game and Reggie Williams still bothered by injuries, QB David Garrard will likely look to Jones often on Sunday.

Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis: Lost in the fact that the Jaguars kept six wide receivers -- many of them injured -- on their active roster is the presence of Lewis, who played well down the stretch last season. Lewis has 10 career receptions against the Titans, the most vs. any opponent.
