With two episodes in the bag, HBO's Hard Knocks will reach the midway point in the five-episode season this Tuesday (10 p.m., ET). One of the storylines that we should expect, along with a continuation of previously established stories, is the competition between veteran and and up-and-coming linebackers positioning themselves on the team's depth chart. Also the game against the Tennessee Titans will be featured.
