Linebacker Gerald McRath, tight end Brandon Barden, cornerback Terrence Wheatley, offensive tackle Mike Otto and defensive end Dave Ball are inactive for the Tennessee Titans' preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night, according to Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean.

Analysis: The Titans appear to be pretty healthy heading into their bout against the Bucs. The only serious injury from a fantasy standpoint remains Kenny Britt, who is on the physically unable to perform list as he recovers from a torn ACL. McRath and Ball would be the two players most likely to produce anything from an IDP standpoint, but even then you would have to be in a pretty desperate situation to deploy either player. McRath notched just 15 tackles in 12 games last season and list No. 2 on the depth chart at outside linebacker. Ball was better, but 36 tackles and four sacks aren't going to set anybody's world on fire.
