Wan'Dale Robinson Camp Update — August 23: Eight More Catches, Forty-Eight in Camp

Wan'Dale Robinson caught eight passes in Wednesday's practice, the most of any Titan, bringing his training camp total to 48 receptions by Jim Wyatt's running count at the team's website. Two days later he led the team again with six catches in the joint practice against the Super Bowl champion Seahawks, per Wyatt. Nobody else in the receiver room is close to that kind of week-over-week volume, and Easton Freeze at A to Z Sports wrote the natural conclusion after watching Wednesday's session: Robinson "is going to catch a ton of passes" in an offense built to get the ball out fast.

The context sharpened the picture. Rookie Carnell Tate missed Wednesday with stiffness and went catchless in Friday's joint practice, per Wyatt, and Calvin Ridley's week was quiet — so when Cam Ward needed completions, the slot was where they went, exactly the pecking order that has held since the preseason opener. The one thing the week did not supply is game evidence: Robinson's next live snaps come tonight against Seattle, where the starters are slated for roughly 20 to 25 plays, per Wyatt, and this episode files before kickoff.

Back in June we made our firmest claim of the Tennessee slate on Robinson — 92 catches on a hundred 40 targets last season, reunited with Brian Daboll, the coordinator who fed him that volume in New York, with target volume being the input that repeats most reliably year over year. Camp has spent five weeks agreeing. The June caveat has not moved either: all this volume is only worth what Ward's offense is worth, and that gets measured with a scoreboard starting tonight.

What to watch: whether Robinson leads the starters' stint in targets against Seattle, and whether the catch pace survives the shift from Wyatt's practice counts to official game charting as the season arrives. We'll check after cut day.
