Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET the Tennessee Titans (1-0) will continue their preseason with a Week 2 matchup vs. the New Orleans Saints (1-0) at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Saints will hope for more of the same in Week 2 from rookie wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who made five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown. After losing Darren Sproles in free agency, Cooks appears to be a candidate to fill in Sproles' utility role as a pass-catcher from multiple positions on the field.
The Saints may also gain some clarity in their running back situation, as they have four candidates that could evolve into bell cows.
Tennessee will get another look at their own rookie running back, Bishop Sankey, who struggled in Week 1. Sankey, who is expected to start in Week 1 of the regular season managed just 2.8 yards a carry vs. the Packers while Shonn Greene gained 20 yards in just four carries.
Sankey did impact the passing game, though, with three grabs for 38 yards and a touchdown. That is the sort of production expected from smaller back Dexter McCluster, who finished the night with three carries for 19 yards and no catches.
The Titans' performances must be taken with a grain of salt, as their game was played in a driving rain that created a near-comical amount of turnovers. "I never played in a rain like this," Titans quarterback Jake Locker said. "This is definitely the hardest rain I've played in to this point."
