Tennessee Titans to have joint practices with the Atlanta Falcons ahead of preseason game
When the NFL announced its 2025 schedule, the Tennessee Titans discussed the possibility of taking part in joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons in weeks one and two of the preseason.
On Monday, Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris announced that the arrangements have been made and that they will hold joint practices with the Titans ahead of the Week 2 preseason game in Atlanta. This approach should help speed up the process of getting Cam Ward up to speed with live reps against another franchise.
The two teams will hold joint sessions on August 12 and 13 prior to their August 15 battle. At this point, no specifics have been given on what will take place for the Titans on August 14, but with so many new faces it will likely be some type of walkthrough.
During his first season as head coach, Brian Callahan held joint practices with the Seattle Seahawks prior to their Week 2 preseason battle, after which he eventually held out many veterans from the subsequent game. WIth so many new and young faces fighting it out for spots on the depth chart, it will be interesting to see what his philosophy is now in his second year.
The Titans will be holding another open practice on Tuesday and Callahan will likely address the media, with Morris making the announcement during his press availability in Atlanta on Monday, Callahan could offer more insight during that press availability.

Defensive coach filling in as Patriots DC revealed as longtime assistant
Zak Kuhr has taken over some of the defensive coordinator duties with Terrell Williams out due to health reasons. There is currently no timeline for Williams' return, although he has stayed in contact with the coaches and players through Zoom. However, Kuhr noted that he was an extension of Williams and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, and he has worked hard to echo their message. Advertisement Kuhr was an assistant under Vrabel with the Tennessee Titans as a quality control coach and an assistant inside linebackers coach. The two reunited with Vrabel landing the job in New England and Kuhr being brought in as a defensive assistant. This news comes in the final week of OTAs for the Patriots. There is hope that Williams makes a full recovery and returns as the defensive coordinator, but Kuhr's role could be extended if that isn't the case. The personnel on defense has improved significantly, but Kuhr and Williams will have their work cut out for them in turning things around. The Patriots ranked 22nd in total yards allowed per game with an average of 342.9 yards last season, and they also ranked 22nd in points with an average of 24.5 points allowed per game.

However, while Williams is gone, Kuhr has a chance to add his imprint on the unit early ahead of training camp. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
