Titans training camp: Day 4 standouts and a question mark
The Tennessee Titans took to the field on Saturday for their first public practice of the 2026 season, and while the weather was far from perfect, the fans brought a new energy to the field.With both fans and media in attendance, the coverage and social media takes picked up, and here at Titans Wire, we are focused on bringing all of those social media pieces together in a way that creates a snapshot of the practice and how the players performed.Both JC Latham and Calvin Ridley returned to full activities and were visible throughout the session. In all, it was a solid day to finish off the NFL acclimation period, and now the real competition can begin on Monday when the pads go on.Here are some of the standouts mentioned on the fourth day of practice.Cam Ward continues to show growthOne of the big keys to the Titans' season is Wards development, and that has been on display throughout the early portions of training camp. Ward looked solid on Saturday, and as Austin Stanley of Ato Z Sports points out, he is making some great strides.Cam Ward is already showing growth early in Year 2 as the #Titans QB1 @AustinStanley81 breaks down what he sees Cam doing different already in training camp pic.twitter.com/faPVO7hExC AtoZ Sports Nashville (@AtoZSports) August 1, 2026Jaren Kanak could surpriseWhen the Titans drafted Kanak, it came as a bit of a surprise. The former linebacker is a raw prospect that is still developing, but did flash some abilities in his only season at the position at Oklahoma. Now in camp, Kanak has made plays on multiple days and could carve out a role.Starting to think Jaren Kanak could be the darling of preseason games this year. Two straight catches on balls from Trubisky Terry McCormick (@terrymc13) August 1, 2026Elic Ayomanor continues to shineAyomanor might be the biggest story of training camp and continues to make plays. The second-year wideout is physical and plays fast, and is clearly taking advantage of every opportunity.Sounds like Ayomanor has been balling Jared Mayo (@jaredmayo22) August 1, 2026Is swing tackle going to be a problem?Offensive line competition and depth have been a story all offseason and through the early portion of camp (even without pads) and were noticeable again at practice on Saturday, where Austin Deculus and Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson struggled to hold up.#Titans Training Camp Notes: 8/1/26- JC Latham first day back practicing - Austin Deculus and Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson rosted at swing tackle - BIG day from Elic Ayomanor (a player to watch when the pads come on)- Not a great day from the offense, ended up doing push-ups at Parker Kelley (@parker_kelley10) August 1, 2026Now let the fun begin! Saturday was the last mandatory practice held without pads, making it hard to see how the physicality will impact the competition. Luckily, the acclimation period is over, and the real work can begin.This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: Titans training camp: Day 4 standouts and a question mark
