What is the story about?
The
Tennessee Titans were on the practice field Monday afternoon. It was their seventh of 10 scheduled OTA practices, with the final session concluding on Friday. Thanks to local beat writers like Paul Kuharsky, Turron Davenport, and A to Z Sports, we’ve compiled some notable tidbits from Monday’s practice.
- Cam Ward hit Carnell Tate for a 50-yard touchdown, per Kuharsky. Poor cornerback Micah Robinson was in coverage, and he’s been routinely victimized by Tate throughout OTAs. Ward and his rookie receiver continue building chemistry at OTAs.
- Jermaine Johnson II and Mitch Trubisky reported to OTAs for the first time. Trubisky reportedly looked significantly better than Will Levis has, also per PK. That’s not surprising. They signed him to be an upgrade at backup quarterback.
- Johnson also made several plays at his first practice, per Davenport. He knocked down a Ward screen pass, and tracked down Tyjae Spears on the next play. The Titans traded for Johnson to reunite him with Robert Saleh, and they need him to be effective in 2026.
- Levis has now thrown four interceptions in three practices open to the media. He continues to be a rollercoaster of a performer. With Trubisky officially back at practice, the Titans should look to trade Levis this offseason.
- Calvin Ridley supposedly was moving around well. He continues to be absent from team periods as he’s working back from last year’s season-ending injury. The Titans need Ridley to be an effective receiver in 2026.
- Amani Hooker, Femi Oladejo, Jeffery Simmons, Cor’Dale Flott, and Dan Moore Jr. were allegedly absent from practice, per Davenport. In Oladejo’s case, he’s been spotted at past practices working on the side field. Reminder that OTAs are totally voluntary and attendance isn’t mandatory. Simmons often works out in Dallas during the offseason. It sounds like Flott, the team’s $45 million cornerback, isn’t there.
