The Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears hooked up for an intense joint practice to end the final week of training camp, which turned into a back-and-forth, physical affair.
The Titans' offense appeared focused on building chemistry between Cam Ward and Carnell Tate, and the tandem delivered a solid performance against the Bears. Ward was not perfect, but got better as the day wore on. The Titans' defense held its own, but still has some stuff to work through.
All in all, it was a great way to end training camp, and a perfect tune-up for the preseason finale, and here are some sights and sounds from the action.
