What to know about Titans practice today
Is Titans practice open today, Aug. 1?
Yes, Titans practice will be open to fans on Aug. 1. This is the first open practice of the preseason. Practice is scheduled to start at 10:15 a.m. with coach Robert Saleh speaking to the media at 9:45 a.m.
Titans training camp storylines: What's happening at Titans practice?
Through the first two days of practice, the defense has had a fairly significant leg up on the offense. This makes a little bit of sense because without pads on, it's easier for the defense to make plays in the trenches and the middle of the field. Also, and this shouldn't be forgotten, the Titans' defense is more talented than the offense.
It's not as if the offense is playing poorly, though. It's probably fairest to say the offense has looked pretty average through the first couple of sessions. QB Cam Ward is leading the way and has thrown three touchdowns in two days, but it's important to acknowledge that two of those touchdowns were results of jump-ball contested catches by receivers who bailed Ward out a little bit.
Titans injury updates: JC Latham, Calvin Ridley
Based on Saleh's timeline he laid out earlier in the week, Saturday should be the first day that Latham, the former first-round pick who's projected to start at right tackle, practices. The Titans activated Latham off the PUP list on Thursday but he didn't practice live. Latham is recovering from an offseason pectoral injury.
Beyond Latham, every significant Titans contributor was on the practice field when the media was last allowed to attend practice on July 30. Calvin Ridley and Mitchell Trubisky both missed the first day of training camp but were back on the field with no visible limitations for Day 2.
Is Cam Ward practicing? Titans depth chart on offense
Coming into training camp, the Titans' anticipated starting unit on offense should look a little something like this:
QB: Cam Ward
RB: Tony Pollard
WR: Carnell Tate, Wan'Dale Robinson, Calvin Ridley
TE: Gunnar Helm
OL: Dan Moore Jr., Peter Skoronski, Austin Schlottmann, Cordell Volson, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Crenshaw-Dickson is a placeholder until Latham gets back, and should be competing with veteran Austin Deculus for the swing tackle job. Schlottmann and Volson are considered to be in competition for the center and right guard spots, though Volson's competition with Jackson Slater and Fernando Carmona feels tighter than Schlottmann's with Andre James and Pat Coogan.
Though they aren't listed as starters, expect RB Tyjae Spears and TE Daniel Bellinger to feature heavily in this Titans' offense.
Is Jeffery Simmons practicing? Projecting Titans roster on defense
Here's The Tennessean's projection for the defensive depth chart:
DL: Jeffery Simmons, John Franklin-Myers
DE: Jermaine Johnson II, Keldric Faulk
LB: Cedric Gray, Cody Barton
CB: Alontae Taylor, Cor'Dale Flott, Marcus Harris
S: Amani Hooker, Kevin Winston Jr., Tony Adams
Harris plays the nickel, but don't be surprised if the Titans make use of Joshua Williams or any of their depth pieces at safety on the inside on occasion. Jacob Martin should factor into the rotation off the edge, and the DL/DE spots also leave room for Solomon Thomas, Jordan Elliott and several other rotational pieces.
When are Titans joint practices?
The Titans hold joint practices on Aug. 11 against the 49ers in San Francisco; Aug. 21 against the Seahawks in Nashville; and Aug. 27 against the Bears in Nashville.
