NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans host the Seattle Seahawks at Nissan Stadium on Monday in a preseason finale where backup players and undrafted rookies compete for the final roster spots. Kickoff is scheduled for the evening.
Head coaches Brian Callahan of Tennessee and Mike Macdonald of Seattle plan to rest their starters, prioritizing the health of key contributors ahead of the regular season. The bulk of snaps will go to backups and undrafted rookies chasing roster or practice-squad spots.
The game arrives days before the NFL's mandatory cutdown, when all 32 teams must trim their rosters to 53 players. Tennessee, holding the top overall draft pick from 2025, has centered its evaluations on younger talent, while Seattle continued shaping its depth under Macdonald's second-year staff.
The outcome carries little competitive value, but individual performances influence final roster construction. Coaching staffs typically finalize their decisions within 48 hours of the final preseason contest, making Monday's showing decisive for players on the margins.
For Seattle, the game offered a last look at special-teams competitors and offensive-line depth before the opener. Tennessee used the fixture to assess quarterback and secondary depth as the franchise continued its rebuild.
