Green-Beckham looked quite impressive in Sunday’s victory over the St. Louis Rams catching four passes for 40 yards, including three straight receptions. While the there is no doubt the Titans are hoping he can show enough consistency to start, head coach Ken Whisenhunt conceded that Green-Beckham is still learning:

“I don’t know when the comfort level with Dorial Green-Beckham is going to come, we’re still working through a couple of things with him,’’ Whisenhunt said (via the team’s official website). “It’s obvious he’s a very talented young man and he did some good things for us (vs the Rams).”

Currently, Green-Beckham sits behind veteran wideout Harry Douglas and fourth-year wide receiver Kendall Wright in depth. There’s also Hakeem Nicks and Justin Hunter in the shuffle as well.

The encouraging news is that Green-Beckham is currently practicing with the first team. He’ll need to make the most of his targets in Week 3 and reduce his mistakes in order to build up Whisenhunt’s confidence.
