A quick reminder on how close the Tennessee Titans first game is.
Tennessee Titans fans will be the very last ones to see their team play but don’t fool yourself into thinking that it isn’t right around the corner.
Since training camp really started and became open to the media, Tennessee has practiced in 8 of 11 days, and I believe that 7 of those practices have been padded (the most you can have before September 6th is 14).
Assuming that the players will continue to have their scheduled breaks, they will have a break again on Wednesday and then again on Sunday (three days on, one day off).
Counting back from September 6th, I would guess that the Titans will only be on the field for eight more practices.
Before that time, Mike Vrabel and Jon Robinson will spend more time trying to weigh the cost of veterans who can play in case of emergency vs the upside of young players. There are plenty of battles to talk about for roster spots, just off the top of my head Chris Jackson vs Tye Smith, Cam Batson vs Rashard Davis, Avery Gennessy vs Jamil Douglas, and Matt Dickerson vs the UDFA defensive tackles all come to mind.

That isn’t the reason why I am writing this though, I just want everyone to understand why this is the one training camp where one day of practice should make you concerned or optimistic about a player’s position on the roster.
Going forward, every practice will be important to separate the guys who make the practice squad from the guys who make the roster. So watch the timeline closely and monitor the situation because in 10 days the regular season will officially start and the first iteration of the 2020 Tennessee Titans will take the practice field.
In a year where we don’t see the players practice against each other team at all, and we don’t get to see anything close to game simulation, it is going to be very interesting to see which beat writers found the right players that “flashed” and to see just what exactly the Titans were able to get out of their young roster.
