What Tennessee Titans said following first padded practice of training camp image

The Tennessee Titans were back on the field for their first padded practice of training camp on Tuesday. It did not take long for tempers to flare as defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and offensive lineman JC Latham got into a scuffle.

The Titans players held one-versus-one drills, featuring all pass-catchers against the defensive backs. With Chidobe Awuzie nursing a calf injury, rookie defensive back Jarvis Brownlee Jr. was a bright spot in an expanded role, with notable pass break-ups on Kearis Jackson and Tyler Boyd.

In terms of injuries, outside linebacker Harold Landry made his camp debut after missing the start due to illness. However, in addition to Awuzie, defensive backs L'Jarius Sneed and Jamal Adams did not participate.
