Titans hit the road for joint practices and preseason games against Bucs and Falcons
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans practiced in Music City on Wednesday morning and then headed out for their longest preseason road trip since the franchise left Texas in 1997. Second-year coach Brian Callahan scheduled not one, but two sets of joint practices around back-to-back road games starting Thursday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He sees nine nights away from Nashville as a way to create more of an old training camp vibe for a young team. 'That's sort of the intent of the whole trip,' Callahan said. 'Spend some time, get a chance to grow together, and then get to go play against some other teams.' Callahan also wants to hear the reviews from the Buccaneers, then the Atlanta Falcons on what they think of how the Titans compete. He sees this as a chance for a starting point of what the Titans can be this year. 'And get a change to do some things as a team on the road, some events together, things like that,' Callahan said. 'It's something I'm really looking forward to. Can't wait.' The Titans, who went 3-14 in Callahan's debut season, will be away from Nashville for nine straight nights. They won't practice again in Nashville until Aug. 19 before wrapping up the preseason by hosting Minnesota on Aug. 22. After opening this preseason Saturday night against Tampa Bay, the Titans go to Atlanta for two joint practices and a game Aug. 15. Left tackle Dan Moore has had only one joint practice with Pittsburgh, and that was last year. This will be a bit of a new experience, though Moore is familiar to going away to camp with the Steelers a regular at Latrobe, Pennsylvania. 'Obviously, we're on a business trip, but we'll have some free time, some downtime,' Moore said. 'We'll be in the hotel. Guys can hang out, do stuff together and go places, go eat, whatever. And I think that's a good time for us to just bond as team and build chemistry.' Bonding can only help a franchise that has added 37 free agents, nine drafted rookies and five more players added off waivers through Sunday — a total of 51 players in training camp. Safety Quandre Diggs isn't new after playing eight games for Tennessee last season before going on injured reserve. He signed Tuesday, and the Titans are easing him back into the mix. He recognizes a lot of faces on the roster, including his cousin, rookie quarterback Cam Ward. 'It's different when you walk in the locker room and you see your family, like real family,' the three-time Pro Bowl safety said of Ward. 'And so it was cool.' Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson has been trying to throw every look possible at Ward to help prep the No. 1 draft pick overall for the season opener Sept. 7 at Denver. Now the Titans will get a glimpse of how other NFL defenses might challenge the rookie. 'He's a grown man to me,' wide receiver Calvin Ridley said of Ward. 'He's a confident guy, he's a guy that wants to be good.' ___ AP NFL:

What Trump's Immigration Crackdown Means for the 2028 Olympics
President Trump is making plans to celebrate the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, an event that will draw many thousands of people from around the world, even as he makes it harder than ever for foreign visitors to come to the United States. Mr. Trump has imposed a travel ban and visa restrictions on 19 countries, and the State Department has announced a pilot program that would require some foreign visitors to pay bonds of up to $15,000 to secure a visa. Here's a look at what Mr. Trump's immigration crackdown means for the Olympic Games: Will there be exceptions for athletes? Yes. Athletes competing in the Olympic Games and World Cup (which the United States will host in 2026) are exempt from the travel ban. The White House has said it will allow into the country 'any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics.' Olympians typically use visas reserved for high-level athletes. Mr. Trump announced a task force on Tuesday to make sure there is a streamlined visa processing and credentialing process for foreign athletes, coaches, officials and members of the news media. Will there be exceptions for fans? No. Fans from the affected countries will have to abide by the restrictions. The State Department said people who want to come and watch the Olympic Games should apply for visas as soon as possible. 'We encourage prospective foreign travelers who will need U.S. visas to travel to the 2028 Olympics to apply early,' the statement said. The State Department noted that the travel and tourism sector contributes nearly 10 million jobs to the U.S. economy. What are the latest restrictions? Beginning on Aug. 20, the United States will begin a one-year pilot program in which travelers from Malawi or Zambia must post a bond ranging from $5,000 to $15,000, determined at the person's visa interview. The bond requirement applies to travelers eligible for a business or tourism visa, known as a B1 or B2 visa. As a condition of the bond, all visa holders from these two countries must arrive at and depart from the United States via Boston Logan International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York or Washington Dulles International Airport. The State Department says the bond will help ensure the travelers do not overstay their visas. The countries were chosen based on their high visa overstay rates, according to data compiled by the Homeland Security Department. Who is affected by the travel ban? In June, Mr. Trump barred travel to the United States by citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Mr. Trump also imposed restrictions, but stopped short of a full ban, on travel from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
