Tennessee Titans live updates: News, highlights from NFL training camp practice Day 5
The Tennessee Titans return to the practice field July 30 for their fifth training camp practice of the 2025 preseason, putting quarterback Cam Ward, receiver Calvin Ridley, defensive tackles Jeffery Simmons and T'Vondre Sweat and more on the field for another day of prep. Practice on July 29 was the team's first in full pads, and it resulted in a fairly decisive win for the defense, at least in team periods. Defenders picked off Ward three times and forced a fumble, while the offensive line succumbed to fairly consistent pressure from Simmons and company. That said, the offensive line held an advantage in 1-on-1 pass rush drills against the defensive line and the offensive skill players fared well in 7-on-7 practice. The Titans opened camp on July 23 and have practiced three times since, including once in front of fans at Nissan Stadium. The buildup to training camp and the first week of it have been eventful, with quarterback Will Levis opting to have season-ending shoulder surgery, outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter retiring and receiver Treylon Burks being waived after injuring his shoulder in practice on July 26. The Titans will practice twice more this week — Saturday and Sunday. In Week 3, they will head to Tampa for their first joint practice session and their first preseason game. The Tennessean is on hand at Wednesday' practice and will be providing live updates. Follow along below for the latest news, color and happenings from training camp. ROSTER PROJECTION: Tennessee Titans roster projection: How 53-man depth chart looks after training camp Week 1 TITANS FAN SURVEY: What do you think of Brian Callahan? What about Cam Ward? Nissan Stadium? Vote in our fan survey! Tennessee Titans training camp practice updates today Quick Wednesday camp observations from Gentry Estes Calvin Ridley cramping late in practice As noted below, Calvin Ridley walked off the field after trainers checked on his lower right leg after pulling up in the final team period. Titans WR coach Tyke Tolbert said after practice that it was just cramping for the veteran receiver. Cam Ward, Titans offense in team period Today's 11-on-11 action: First drive: Cam Ward opens by missing an open Calvin Ridley before hitting Ridley on a RPO sidearm toss for a first-down gain. After that, Ward had back-to-back passes batted down near the line of scrimmage. (Femi Oladejo and Xavier Woods get credit for the PBUs.) As Brian Callahan noted earlier this AM, the ball is moving along as the offense progresses up the field to give a little more tempo to the proceedings. Red zone period: Cam Ward opens the red zone period with an interception to Roger McCreary after the ball was deflected by Cody Barton. He follows with an incompletion, with the pass broken up by Darrell Baker Jr. After a Tony Pollard carry, Ward is forced into a coverage "sack". Not a great sequence for the offense. Final team period: Calvin Ridley pulled up on the first play and walked off with team trainers. Ridley was limping but didn't need assistance. Trainers were looking at his lower right leg, and it shows all the signs of cramping late in the second padded practice of camp. From there, Chig Okonkwo had a drop and Ward completed a pass to Elic Ayomanor for a first-down gain. The period wraps with a Femi Oladejo "sack" of Ward. Cam Ward stats in Titans 7-on-7 Today's 7-on-7 action for Cam Ward: Back-to-back completions on short passes to tight ends Chig Okonkwo and David Martin-Robinson. Completion to Tyler Lockett up the seam. Short completions to Elic Ayomanor and Tyjae Spears (on a checkdown after a long time browsing). Incompletions to Jha'Quan Jackson and Calvin Ridley on vertical routes, with the Jackson incompletion on a drop. Short completion to new receiver Matt Landers on an out. Cam Ward, Calvin Ridley connect early in team period Cam Ward hits Calvin Ridley on a 30-yard completion despite double coverage on a corner route, the best of the early throws in team so far today. (No video highlights allowed during team periods, for what it's worth.) Cam Ward, QBs getting loose Brian Callahan press conference notes Brian Callahan on Cam Ward bouncing back from a not-good practice yesterday: "It's the name of the game." More Callahan: "You want guys to not have a governor on and not have to be worried about making mistakes, because that generally tends to be a pretty poor mindset to perform in." Callahan likes Ward's command of the offense but wants to improve the offense's tempo overall. It was a "pretty good day" for the offensive line overall in 1-on-1s on Tuesday, Callahan said. Callahan on Xavier Restrepo: "There's something about him as a football player that you can't measure, necessarily. He just has a knack for finding space and getting open, and the ball tends to find him." Restrepo made a big play on Tuesday. More Callahan on Restrepo: "X is kind of like Cam's shadow." Levis texted Callahan on Tuesday that everything went well with Levis' shoulder surgery. Blake Hance remains out for Wednesday's practice with a calf issue. Brian Callahan press conference stream Brian Callahan is scheduled to speak to the media at 7:40 a.m. ahead of practice on Wednesday. Watch it below.

Meta's Mark Zuckerberg announces AI data center expansion. Are any centers coming to Tennessee?
On July 14, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars to build several large-scale AI data centers focused on superintelligence. According to Reuters, this move deepens his drive to develop the technology, which he has aggressively pursued by competing for top engineering talent. Meta's first multi-gigawatt data center, named Prometheus, is set to launch in 2026, while another facility, Hyperion, is designed to eventually scale up to 5 gigawatts over the next several years. "We're building multiple more titan clusters as well," said Zuckerberg in a Facebook post. "Just one of these covers a significant part of the footprint of Manhattan." Hyperion will be located in Louisiana, a Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch, while Prometheus will be located in New Albany, Ohio. At the time of publication, Meta had not responded to The Tennessean's request for comment on whether AI data centers will be coming to Tennessee. "Meta Superintelligence Labs will have industry-leading levels of compute and by far the greatest compute per researcher," added Zuckerberg. "I'm looking forward to working with the top researchers to advance the frontier!" Here's what to know about data centers in Tennessee. More: Nashville Council takes next step toward using AI in water management What is an AI data center? An AI data center is a specialized facility designed to support the heavy computing needs of artificial intelligence applications, such as training and deploying machine learning models. While it shares basic components with traditional data centers, like servers, storage, and networking, AI data centers are built to handle much more demanding workloads. According to the key difference between AI data centers and traditional data centers, lies in the hardware and infrastructure. Traditional centers typically use central processing units (CPUs), which are not powerful enough for AI tasks. AI centers, on the other hand, rely on high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs), which require more space, power and advanced systems to support them. These facilities are equipped with high-speed computing, secure networking, and large-scale storage, along with robust power and cooling systems. Because AI workloads generate a lot of heat and consume large amounts of electricity, AI data centers use advanced cooling strategies, said IBM. One common method is liquid cooling, which uses water instead of air to absorb and remove heat more efficiently. This helps manage the high temperatures produced by densely packed GPUs. Another method, hot and cold aisle containment, organizes server racks to improve airflow and prevent hot and cold air from mixing. Are Meta AI data centers coming to Tennessee? While Meta has not confirmed whether it will bring AI data centers to Tennessee, the recent boom in artificial intelligence has sparked increased data center investment in Nashville. As previously reported by the Tennessean, RadiusDC, a Denver-based data center company with operations in Miami, is expanding into Nashville with a new 100,000-square-foot facility in the Trinity/Haynes area. Once completed, it will be the largest data center within the city limits, according to the company. The site, called 'Nashville I,' will offer 12 megawatts of power and serve as a colocation facility, providing rentable space for tech companies to house their servers. It's being built on a 12-acre site along Brick Church Pike, where RadiusDC recently purchased 7.5 acres for over $5 million. The project is backed by New York-based Blue Owl Capital and is expected to open in 2026. Meanwhile, Meta's $1 billion data center campus in Gallatin became fully operational late last year, with plans to expand capacity in the future. This growth aligns with broader trends, as major tech companies continue to invest in the Nashville area and the Tennessee Valley Authority works to increase statewide power capacity to meet rising demand. The Volunteer State has become an appealing destination for data center developers and tech companies like Meta that seek greater control over their infrastructure. This is due in part to the availability of affordable industrial land and a reliable, cost-effective energy supply, supported by proactive state and local efforts to expand power capacity. Elon Musk's xAI expands in Memphis with Colossus 2 supercomputer On July 15, Brent Mayo of Elon Musk's xAI shared new information about the company's second Memphis facility, Colossus 2. The first Memphis xAI location was announced in June 2024. While Mayo did not specify how the new supercomputer will be powered, energy sourcing remains a major concern for the community, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported, especially after the first site on Paul R. Lowry Road used gas turbines, sparking renewed debate over air quality in South Memphis. Mayo stated that xAI is working with the Tennessee Valley Authority and Memphis Light, Gas and Water to determine the best energy solution for the new Tulane Road site. He also confirmed that equipment currently stored in Mississippi is being relocated from the original site to the new campus. In May, the Greater Memphis Chamber announced that gas turbines would not be used at the Tulane Road facility. Shortly after, Elon Musk posted a photo on X showing 168 Tesla Megapacks being delivered to the site, calling it the first 'gigawatt AI training supercluster.' While Mayo didn't confirm the exact energy needs, he did say the company plans to use 'a lot' of Tesla Megapacks. The Colossus 2 project is expected to create 200 to 400 permanent jobs, with over 1,000 jobs currently supported through construction.

Trump tax bill supercharges Coast Guard's Arctic icebreaker fleet
On Thursday's episode of The Excerpt podcast: USA TODAY National Correspondent Trevor Hughes breaks down a part of the recent tax bill that adds new ships to the Coast Guard's fleet in the Northwest Passage, and the broader context in that region amid an ongoing cold war with China. President Donald Trump announces new tariffs - for copper, Brazil and more. Death tolls rise in the flooding disasters in Texas and New Mexico. Measles was eradicated in the United States 25 years ago. Cases this year have reached a new high. Tennessean Education Reporter Rachel Wegner looks at some of the ongoing divisions in American education 100 years after the Scopes trial. Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@ Hit play on the player below to hear the podcast and follow along with the transcript beneath it. This transcript was automatically generated, and then edited for clarity in its current form. There may be some differences between the audio and the text. Podcasts: True crime, in-depth interviews and more USA TODAY podcasts right here Taylor Wilson: Good morning. I'm Taylor Wilson, and today is Thursday, July 10th, 2025. This is USA TODAY's The Excerpt. Today, how the recent tax bill sends new ships to patrol near the Arctic. Whilst we break down some of this week's tariff news. And a century after the Scopes trial, Americans are still divided over what kids should learn. ♦ The tax bill recently signed by President Donald Trump will send a new fleet of icebreaker ships into the edge of the melting Arctic. I spoke with USA TODAY National Correspondent Trevor Hughes to learn more. Trevor, thanks for hopping on. Trevor Hughes: Hey, good to be here. Taylor Wilson: All right. So, Trevor, what's in this tax bill as it pertains to the Coast Guard's Arctic icebreaker fleet? Trevor Hughes: Well, the Coast Guard has been saying for years it needs more icebreakers and more ships that can operate in icy waters, and Congress and President Trump have delivered. I mean, this bill contains money for dozens of new ships, icebreakers, cutters that are equipped for icy water work. This is a pretty significant expansion of the Coast Guard fleet. Taylor Wilson: And I guess it's fair to say that climate change has really helped make this happen, Trevor, right? Trevor Hughes: Yeah. I mean, help, it's maybe not the right word to use here, but yeah, that's what's driving this. Climate change is opening up the ice between Alaska and Greenland, and that's known as the Northwest Passage. It's a fabled passage that explorers searched for years. And it's only open some years and only for brief times, and rarely do normal ships go through it, but as climate change melts that ice, more and more ships are going to start using it. It saves something like 40% of the distance from Asia to Europe as opposed to going through the Panama Canal or the Suez Canal. But of course, what that means is more ships mean more Coast Guard patrols, and right now, we just don't have enough ships to patrol that area. Taylor Wilson: Really, what's the broader context here, Trevor, in terms of this ongoing cold war between the US and China and evergreen tensions with Russia in this region as well? Trevor Hughes: That's the thing, right? China has been looking at this area for expansion. I saw something the other day that China referred to itself as a near-Arctic nation, although it is not. But Russia has a strong connection with China, and of course, is heart of the Arctic. What's happening is that the United States is trying to make sure it's protecting its territory and perhaps protecting the shipping, and also the interests in oil and gas and maybe rare earth minerals that could be in northern Alaska, in Canada, and in Greenland. You may recall President Trump has really identified Greenland as something he wants to be paying very close attention to, and this new Coast Guard icebreaker and cutter allocation will probably help with patrolling that area. Taylor Wilson: Trevor, what do we hear from Native people in this part of North America about all this? Trevor Hughes: I have reported from the coast of the Bering Sea a number of times over the years, and one of the things that the Native folks have talked a lot about is this concern that as more and more ships, big tanker ships, cargo ships are going through this very, very remote area, that if there's a problem, if they run aground, if they have a fire, God forbid something like that happens, that there won't be anyone to help those shippers. But then there's also these environmental catastrophes that could happen in this otherwise pristine wilderness area. We all remember the Exxon Valdez spill and the Native people who live along the Bering Sea, who really depend on the fish and wildlife for subsistence, they have serious concerns about what environmental consequences might come from extra shipping. Taylor Wilson: All right. So, what's the timeline for all this? What's next and when will the new icebreakers functionally arrive? Trevor Hughes: Building ships takes a long time and the United States doesn't, frankly, have a lot of shipbuilding capacity. That's actually a big thing the Trump administration has been focusing on. So, it's going to take years before we see any of these actual new ships on the water. That being said, we, the country, recently purchased a used ship that was used for servicing oil rigs and we are repurposing that and going to be deploying that out of Juneau, Alaska, later this summer. Taylor Wilson: All right. Trevor Hughes is a national correspondent with USA TODAY. Thanks as always, Trevor. Trevor Hughes: You bet. ♦ Taylor Wilson: President Donald Trump has announced a new 50% tariff on US copper imports overall, and a 50% duty on goods from Brazil, both to start on August 1st. Trump has also notified an additional seven countries they will be hit with tariffs of at least 20% or more on August 1st, in a series of letters to foreign leaders. In separate letters to each targeted country he said he would impose 30% tariff rates on imports from Libya, Sri Lanka, Iraq, and Algeria, and he said other nations would be hit with 25 or 20% tariffs. That came after a number of other new tariff rates earlier in the week for different countries. ♦ Hopes were dwindling yesterday for finding some of the more than 170 people still missing after last week's flooding in Texas. The death toll has climbed steadily in recent days, now up to 119 as of this morning, at least 27 of those were children and counselors at a girls' summer camp. Elsewhere in the country, the New Mexico resort town of Ruidoso was hit by severe flash flooding on Tuesday as slow moving storms pounded areas still reeling from burn scars left by wildfires last year. At least three people have been confirmed dead in that flooding. For the first time since measles was declared eradicated in the U.S. in 2000, domestic cases have reached a peak, topping 1,288 cases as of yesterday, according to the CDC. There have been three confirmed deaths and the vast majority of hospitalizations have been seen in unvaccinated people and children. Measles is a vaccine-preventable disease that had been considered eradicated in the country as of 2000, meaning there was no spread and new cases were those contracted only from abroad. But vaccinations have declined, resulting in a growing number of states no longer reporting rates consistent with herd immunity, and infections have returned. The last outbreak of a similar scale came in 2019 when more than 1,200 cases were confirmed across the country. Just six months into this year, that number has been surpassed in a grim milestone. You can read more with the link in today's show notes. It's been a century since an American teacher's fight to educate his high school students about evolution brought a small town controversy into the national spotlight, and 100 years later, Americans are still divided over what kids should learn. I spoke with Tennesseean children's reporter Rachel Wegner, for more. Thanks for joining me, Rachel. Rachel Wegner: It's good to be with you. Taylor Wilson: So, let's just go back, what, about a century here? Remind us, what was the Scopes Monkey Trial? Rachel Wegner: It took place in 1925, in a small town called Dayton, Tennessee. It debated the topic of can evolution be taught in schools? At that time, Tennessee had a law that explicitly banned the teaching evolution and said instead, you should be teaching creationism as told in the Bible. Taylor Wilson: Fast forward to this era that we're in now, Rachel. How has the debate over teaching about race shaken out in recent years? Rachel Wegner: So, as lots of people probably remember, there were widespread protests gripping the nation, even happening internationally after the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, at the hands of police. It was a time where it seemed like everyone was on board to just start talking about equity and discrimination and racism, and to try to understand and learn more about what was happening. But within a year there was pushback that was happening against how race was taught in schools, and some people might remember the term critical race theory being thrown around. And concerns now have broadened more widely among the Republican Party and even President Trump, where they're pushing back against diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and even threatening to cut federal funding for schools that teach it. The difficult thing about that for a lot of schools is there's not a very clear definition on what DEI is or what critical race theory is, but there is now immense pressure to remove that from curriculums, from even school policies or programs, extending out even to higher education with some high-profile cases with Harvard and others now. Taylor Wilson: Well, you also bring up another controversial point in this piece, which is which schools should get taxpayer money? Interesting question. What are some of the recent developments you've been following here? Rachel Wegner: Here in Tennessee, that conversation is centered around school vouchers, which is essentially taxpayer-funded vouchers that families can use toward private school. And Tennessee just this year expanded its program to include about 20,000 people that can get these. And then also the national scale, I've seen a lot of discussion around a Supreme Court ruling that even though it was a tied vote, it struck down a bid for a religious public charter school in Oklahoma. And that was another big question of public charter schools get public money, but can this Catholic charter school agency open one and still receive those funds? So, a lot of the debates around taxpayer money going into either private or religious education have been, for sure, some of the biggest topics of conversation in recent years. Taylor Wilson: Rachel, as for queer and transgender issues in and around the classroom. What have you seen on this front? Rachel Wegner: So, a lot of those issues touch lots of the things we talked about already, right? One of the more prominent debates was around Florida's, quote, "Don't Say Gay" bill that was passed in its Republican-controlled legislature. And Governor Ron DeSantis signed it into law. And essentially, what that did is it prohibited teaching on topics that dealt with sexual orientation and gender identity in the early grade school years, K through three, and then later on Florida actually expanded that all the way through the 12th grade. And I'd say that similar debates have played out nationwide. There's definitely been a lot of pushback from advocates for the LGBTQ community, along with an increasing number of red states, especially, passing laws against it. Taylor Wilson: Well, we talked about the Scopes trial at the top. We're speaking 100 years after that case. Why does the Scopes trial still matter today, Rachel? Rachel Wegner: Something that's so interesting about the Scopes trial is a lot of researchers and experts pointed to the first real instance of the culture wars that are still going on today. It's a sign of how education and schools often land in the very center of the most important debates that we have in the U.S. today. And it touches everything from religion to race to gender, to how we run our schools, how they're funded. And I think that some of the themes and issues that emerged from the Scopes trial are even still relevant today about the separation of church and state, about how we teach really core concepts, like, where did humanity come from? Why are we here? And it's fascinating to take a look back in that little time ball 100 years ago and see how much of that is still happening today, just in different forms. Taylor Wilson: All right. Folks can find a full version of the story in today's show notes. Rachel Wegner covers children's issues for the Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. Thank you for the insight here, Rachel. Rachel Wegner: Thanks for having me on. ♦ Taylor Wilson: And later today, in the wake of the deadly Texas floods, young people may be experiencing a surge in feelings of existential dread. While how youth respond to the reality of global warming differs from person to person, experts say that acknowledging their emotional pain in the first place is critical. Caroline Hickman: I'm going to quote a 10-year-old, this is a number of years ago, and I thought I understood, but he said to me, "Caroline, you don't fully understand." He said, "You grew up thinking polar bears would be there forever." He said, "I am growing up knowing they will go extinct." Taylor Wilson: That was Climate Psychologist Caroline Hickman, a specialist who has been counseling youth on how to deal with eco-anxiety for decades. Tune in today, beginning at 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, to hear her eye-opening conversation with my colleague, Dana Taylor. ♦ And thanks for listening to The Excerpt.

Rapid development leaves empty Nashville apartments awaiting renters
Nashville's downtown has seen a surge in development over the past five years, and it has resulted in thousands of new apartment units flooding the rental market at the same time. Now, many of those rental units sit empty, awaiting renters. That's according to a Tennessean analysis of Zillow listings conducted in June, which showed 1,600 rental apartments now available within Nashville's inner highway loop — where Interstates 24, 65 and 40 converge. As the surge in development continues to soften rental rates in Nashville, how will rents and future development be affected? According to a recent analysis by RentCafe, Nashville's downtown residential area added nearly 8,900 apartment units since 2020, ranking Nashville eighth out of the 50 largest U.S. cities for total downtown apartment construction between 2020 and 2024. "Nashville's economy is strong, it provides many job opportunities in industries like tech and health care," said RentCafe researcher Alexandra Both. "There are also high-profile employers in Nashville like Oracle, Amazon. This attracts young professionals relocating from other states, like New York and California, or even other countries." The development boom occurred in non-residential areas of the city like the former railyards and business districts of the downtown area. According to a Tennessean analysis of Zillow listings in early June, there are at least 1,600 available rental units within downtown Nashville's inner highway loop. There were 2,700 more rental units available within the Interstate 440 loop to the south. In MetroCenter alone, there are around 540 units being advertised for rent. Some brand new apartment buildings have hundreds of units available under one roof. "Construction and supply peaked in Nashville in 2024, hands down," said Joel Sanders, founder and CEO of Apartment Insiders, based in Nashville. "We are on that downhill slope." Despite the number of currently vacant apartments, the absorption rate in Nashville remains strong, according to Sanders. "Nashville is very much a you-build-it-and-they-will-come city," Sanders said. Nashville rents have softened since the apartment development boom, especially last year, when three months of free rent was a relatively common incentive deal being advertised. But as development slows down once again, rents could start climbing again about two to three years from now, according to Sanders. "What is probably going to happen, based on what we can tell, is rents are going to go up," Sanders said. "I also don't predict construction costs or interest rates going down anytime soon."

When is the next full moon? What Tennesseans need to know about July's 'Buck Moon' 2025
Summer's second full moon, often called the "Buck Moon" will soon make an appearance. Like many other full moon names, July's full moon is rooted in natural cycles and cultural traditions, marking a moment when nature's rhythms are visible in the night sky. Here's what to know. July's full moon will rise on July 10. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the Buck Moon will reach peak illumination at 3:37 p.m. Central Time when it will be below the horizon. Sky gazers should plan to look towards the southeast after sunset to watch it rise into the sky. July's full Moon is called the "Buck Moon" because it coincides with the time when male deer begin growing their antlers. Like many full moon names, it originates from a mix of Native American, colonial American and European traditions, as recorded by The Old Farmer's Almanac. Historically, the names referred to the entire lunar month, not just the night of the full moon. Other moon names also reflect seasonal animal behavior, such as "Feather Moulting Moon" (Cree) and the "Salmon Moon," a Tlingit term marking the return of salmon for harvest.
