# Shaun Calderon: Calderon projects the Titans' 22 starters for their Week 4 road game against the Ravens, notably picking rookie Pat Coogan to start at right guard amid injuries, Elic Ayomanor to keep their role as the team's third receiver, and a Hill–Gray linebacker tandem, while expecting a questionable Kevin Winston Jr. to play. **Claimed:** Oct 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Shaun Calderon — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/shaun-calderon **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/titans/onsi/predicting-titans-starters-vs-ravens-in-week-4-injuries-at-rg-demand-an-answer-01m41sqdq7by 26 checkable claims — 25 depth chart calls and 1 availability call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
