The Tennessee Titans are expecting to get safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs back as full practice participants this week, head coach Brian Callahan said in his media availability on Sunday.
The Titans will hold joint practices with the Seattle Seahawks in advance of their Week 2 preseason matchup next Saturday.
Adams and Diggs will go up against their former team for the first time since signing with Tennessee in free agency. Neither player dressed for the Titans’ 17-13 win against the San Francisco 49ers over the weekend.
The Titans have been careful about bringing Adams along. The 28-year-old has been limited to just 10 games over the last two seasons. Since being drafted sixth overall in the 2017 NFL draft, Adams, when healthy, has been one of the best defensive backs in the league.
The former LSU standout has amassed 494 tackles, including 50 for loss, 42 quarterback hits, four interceptions, and 36 pass deflections in his career. Adams earned Pro Bowl nods in three straight seasons between 2018 and 2020.
Diggs’ tenure in Nashville is now a week old after the defensive back agreed to a one-year deal on August 4. The 31-year-old practiced with his new teammates for the first time last week.
Diggs comes to the Titans having played in every game over the last four seasons. During that stretch, he accumulated 324 tackles, 15 interceptions, and 29 pass deflections and, like Adams, earned three straight Pro Bowl selections from 2020 to 2022.
