The Tennessee Titans’ kicking competition between Trey Wolff and Caleb Shudak continues to be a toss-up two weeks into training camp.
It seems as if the Titans are choosing to alternate between the two kickers each practice, allowing them to operate as if they are the team’s primary kicker every other practice.
According to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com, Wolff was 6-of-7 in a field goal period during Friday’s practice, with makes from 33, 40, 47, 52, 33, and 43 yards out, and a miss from 46,
Wolff had another miss on top of the 46-yarder, with the Texas Tech product failing to hit a 55-yard attempt to end a mock two-minute drill. In total, Wolff has now made 32 of his 36 kicks in camp (88.9 percent).
As for Shudak, he didn’t kick in Friday’s team period, but was 9-for-9 during Thursday’s practice, per Wyatt. He’s more than holding his own whenever it’s his turn to trot out there, making 93.1 percent of his kicks since training camp began (27-of-29), per Wyatt.
After another week of practices, the next step in the competition will come in preseason Week 1, when the Titans take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Saturday at noon CT.
We currently do not know how the Titans are planning to split the kicks in that game, but it’s a safe bet that we’ll probably get to see both Shudak and Wolff at some point.
