Titans Camp — Sep 3: Five In, Five Out, a Day After the 53
Tennessee rebuilt roughly a tenth of its roster in the twenty-four hours after setting it: three waiver claims from the fourth slot — linebacker Owen Pappoe, cornerback Melvin Smith Jr., defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse — and two free-agent signings, safety Terrell Burgess and tackle James Hudson III, with five subtractions including Xavier Restrepo, waived a day after making the 53. Four of the five were back on the practice squad within two days. Hendon Hooker is the third quarterback on the practice squad. Robert Saleh named Fernando Carmona the Week 1 right guard and put his job on Cam Ward.

Tennessee Titans Camp Update — August 16: Cam Ward's First Live Bullets Went 5-for-12
Cam Ward's first live bullets went 5-of-12 for 57 yards before he gave way in the second quarter — in a game the Titans still won in Santa Clara, 19-13. The joint practice read two ways, the game read one way, and Saturday's 21-of-25 bounce-back read another. The first live test of the year zero thesis produced evidence in both directions.
