Seahawks announce joint practices with Titans ahead of preseason game

Seattle has played Tennessee twice in the last three seasons.

The Seahawks will be practicing with the Titans for a couple of days in August ahead of their Preseason Week 2 matchup on Saturday, August 17.

The team just announced the news on Twitter.

Seattle has played Tennessee twice in the last three seasons. In early 2021, they lost a heartbreaker at home in overtime 33-30 thanks to getting steamrolled by Derrick Henry, who went off for over 200 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. Henry has since signed with the Ravens.

This past Christmas Eve the Seahawks avenged that loss, taking down the Titans on the road by a score of 20-17. Geno Smith threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns. With Will Levis injured, Tennessee started Ryan Tannehill, who managed just 152 passing yards and was sacked six times.

The Titans have one of the worst rosters in the league going into 2024, but they should be able to challenge the Seahawks in at least a couple of areas. Offensively they have a strong wide receiver corps, led by DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd. Defensively their interior line has a couple of studs in Jeffery Simmons and rookie T’Vondre Sweat. They also have a quality cornerback room, which includes their top free agent pickup L’Jarius Sneed.

The Seattle Seahawks play their first home game of the season tomorrow against the Tennessee Titans. While Tennessee has played some thrilling national games the last couple of years, it’s still been four seasons since Seattle met them.

To learn more about this week’s opponents we spoke with Mike Moraitis, managing editor of Titans Wire. Here are a few questions he answered about his team and what will happen on Sunday.

Seahawks heavily favored by experts for home opener vs. Titans

The experts are also leaning towards the Seahawks heading into the weekend.

The Seahawks have won 12 straight home openers, which doesn’t bode well for the visiting Titans on Sunday. As expected, pretty much everybody is predicting a win for Seattle.

Here’s who the experts are picking for this Week 2 matchup.

NFL.com: Seahawks

Gregg Rosenthal has Seattle coming out on top 26-24.

Sporting News: Seahawks

Bill Bender has the home team winning 32-29.

ESPN: Seahawks

Seven of eight experts at ESPN picked Seattle. Dan Graziano was the only one who picked Tennessee.

USA TODAY: Seahawks

Every expert at USA Today predicted a victory for Seattle.

CBS Sports: Seahawks

All eight experts at CBS Sports picked the Seahawks.

MMQB: Seahawks

It’s also a sweep for Seattle at MMQB.

The Titans are a talented team on offense and we expect their receivers will give the Seahawks’ cornerbacks some trouble. It would also come as a surprise if Derrick Henry doesn’t bounce back from a quiet Week 1 and post some big numbers. All that being said, it’s hard to see how Tennessee can stop Seattle’s new-look offense given their lack of a pass rush. Expect a shootout and another home-opener victory. Seahawks 34, Titans 27
