Biggest takeaways from Titans’ 5th padded practice of training camp

The biggest takeaways from the Titans’ fifth padded practice of training camp, which featured plenty of wind and a good day from Andre Dillard.

After a few days off (or at least a few days with no media availability), the Tennessee Titans held their latest open session of training camp Monday, which begins the week leading up to their first preseason game.

That’s right, we’ll have some actual football this week — albeit preseason — when the Titans start their 2023 preseason on Saturday afternoon against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, with kickoff set for noon CT.

Training camp has definitely told us some things, but evaluations will take a big step forward once players take part in live-game action. However, don’t expect many — if any — starters to play Week 1, but that remains to be seen.

With two weeks of training camp in the books, we’ve released our latest 53-man projection that takes into account everything we’ve seen at camp thus far. You can check that out right here, if you’re interested.

Monday’s practice saw high winds impact the passing game (to get a good idea of just how windy it was, check out Will Levis’ post-practice interview below; it sounds like he was standing in a wind tunnel), but both Will Levis and Malik Willis showed some flashes, with Willis having perhaps the best throw of the day.

We have all that and more in our latest installment of the biggest takeaways from training camp practice.
