Titans practice marred by rookie injury and lingering right-guard vacancy
During a low-key training session, rookie receiver Elic Ayomanor suffered a shoulder knock, while the team still has no clear solution at right guard.
On the morning of August 6, the Tennessee Titans ran a quiet practice ahead of the evening fan scrimmage at Nissan Stadium. Rookie receiver Elic Ayomanor was involved in a red-zone play, collided with Kevin Winston Jr., and sustained a shoulder injury that the coaching staff described as stable but pending further checks. The overall tempo was low, with only a minor scuffle breaking the monotony, and the offense faltered in the red zone until quarterback Cam Ward connected with Carnell Tate and Daniel Bellinger for touchdowns.
Defensive units performed strongly, while the offensive line largely solidified, except for the right-guard spot, which remains undecided despite evaluations of Cordell Volson, Jackson Slater and rookie Fernando Carmona Jr. Additional notes included linebacker standouts Anthony Hill Jr. and James Williams Sr., and the continued backup quarterback competition between Mitch Trubisky and Will Levis, with no sign of change for kicker Joey Slye or punter Tommy Townsend.
