Tennessee Titans • • sports
Key Points:

- Mitchell Trubisky was absent from practice, allowing Will Levis and Hendon Hooker more reps; Levis completed 10-of-14 passes including deep connections and a touchdown but threw an interception during the hurry-up period.
- Rookie receiver Carnell Tate had an outstanding day with three touchdowns, showcasing impressive hands and strength by securing contested catches, earning praise despite initial draft skepticism.
- Several players, including Trubisky, Calvin Ridley, Jeffery Simmons, Elic Ayomanor, John Franklin-Myers, and Cor'Dale Flott, were absent from the voluntary OTA practice, with some recovering from injuries or attending to personal matters.
