Michael Penix Jr. involved in scuffle during Falcons joint practice with Titans
Tempers flared during Wednesday's joint practice between the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans and quarterback Michael Penix Jr. found himself in the middle of the scuffle. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] After Penix hit Ray-Ray McCloud III on a deep pass, Penix was exchanging pleasantries with Titans defenders when things went from heated to physical. The Falcons quarterback ended up in the middle of a pile as players from both teams ran over from the sidelines. 'They had a lot of words throughout practice, so I gave them my words and it just went a little bit too far," said a smiling Penix. There were no reported injuries from the incident and Penix was out on the field for the next series. Several instances of pushing and shoving occurred after that, but no punches appeared to have been thrown. "[Penix] started it on that one, on Team 1," said Titans linebacker Arden Key, via ESPN. "But again, those guys in Atlanta, they protected the quarterback, which they were supposed to do. O-line came in, did what they did, and we wasn't allowing that, but that's what they were supposed to do." Penix was appreciative of his teammates coming to his aid before anything escalated saying, "A lot of guys asked me if I was good, and it was good to know that those guys had my back." The second-year Falcons quarterback joked he blacked out during the fight and that he was "somebody else out there." Not one to initiate trash talk, Penix said he's not afraid to give it right back to opponent who thinks he doesn't have the ability to dish it out. "They probably looked at me as just the quarterback, [that] I wasn't that type of person," Penix said. "But I'm from Tampa. I'm from Dade City. ... There's a respect part about it. We're all playing, we're all competing at a high level, but when disrespect comes in, it's like, 'All right, this ain't football no more.'" Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has already announced that Penix will not play on Friday in the team's second preseason game against the Titans. Kirk Cousins will also likely sit with Easton Stick and Emory Jones seeing action.

Is Titans HC Brian Callahan to blame for slow starts?
The Tennessee Titans held their first of two joint practices with the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday. A second session will occur on Wednesday, and the two sides will conclude their collaborative week with a preseason game on Friday. The Titans struggled at Tuesday's practice, arising concerns from various veteran leaders. Jeffery Simmons voiced his disdain for the Titans' slow start. 'Guys have to come out ready,' Simmons said. 'If we start out slow during a game, we saw it last season, we're down 28-0. We keep saying we're starting slow. We started slow [joint practice] in Tampa [and now we started slow] in Atlanta. It's time to start fast.' Simmons wasn't the only Titans player to make the connection. Cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. used an expletive to describe Tuesday's performance. Tight end Chig Okonkwo expressed similar concerns. Simmons referred to last season's 42-19 blowout defeat to the Washington Commanders in which they trailed 28-0 in the second quarter. In Week 3 versus the Green Bay Packers, they were down 20-7 at halftime. Brian Callahan has taken unique approaches this offseason to alter the mindset. Callahan's effectiveness as a head coach remains questionable after a 3-14 debut campaign, and hopefully slow starts aren't a staple of his leadership. Last week, Callahan chewed out the offense for a terrible performance at practice. Cam Ward and the Titans responded the following day by enjoying a significantly better session. Ideally, you'd like to see the offense (and defense) respond in similar fashion in Wednesday's second joint practice with the Falcons, and again in Friday's exhibition game. Callahan is entering the 2025 campaign on the hot seat. GM Mike Borgonzi didn't appoint him, Ran Carthon did. Callahan got his wish with Ward at No. 1 overall, so there's pressure to improve on a horrific 2024 campaign.
