Titans training camp: Defense wins up-and-down day
The Tennessee Titans took to the field on Tuesday, and tempers boiled over and a punch was thrown, leading to Jeffery Simmons being ejected from practice.The offense and defense had some spirited competition, but the defense won the day, as the uneven offense sputtered throughout the morning. Even though Cam Ward hit the highlights with a long touchdown to Carnell Tate, his inaccuracies early set the tone.The intensity was up, and so was the competition, and a few players stood out. Here is a breakdown of some of the players who made an impact today.James Williams again!Not only did Williams pull in a one-handed interception off Mitch Trubisky, but he also broke up another pass attempt and was all over the field. Williams is clearly battling with Elic Ayomanor for having the best camp, and has to maintain that consistency.James Williams is going fed at training camp omg #Titans Darius Horton (@DariusHorton_) August 4, 2026Alontae Taylor had a dayTaylor did give up the big completion to Tate, but other than that was physical and outstanding. The Titans are counting on Taylor to help solidify the secondary, and he and CorDale Flott are both showing up.#Titans camp notes 8-4-2026 (2)-Team prd starts w/DJ Rio playing Dior by Pop Smoke-Pollard inside run and bounced it outside.

It wasn't a lot of volume, but it's another sign of the depth in the Titans receiving room.Chimere Dike #titanshttps://t.co/gSc3sSrnfepic.twitter.com/kjwUHIh1e1 Fantasy Tags (@FantasyTags) August 4, 2026Anthony Hill had a big dayAnthony Hill has come into camp and made plays, carrying over some of the momentum from his offseason work. Not only is he turning heads, but it also appears he is outplaying Cody Barton and could challenge him sooner rather than later.#Titans DC Gus Bradley on LB Anthony Hill #TitanUppic.twitter.com/7bc64JYcNS 104-5 The Zone (@1045TheZone) August 4, 2026Tackle could be an issueStarting left tackle Dan Moore missed the end of practice due to an undisclosed injury, which forced him into the locker room. The defense, specifically Jermaine Johnson, harassed Ward throughout practice, and neither Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson nor Austin Deculus could hold up. No update or timetable was given on Moore, but if it is anything more than a minor injury, Tennessee may be forced to make a move.#Titans LT Dan Moore walks into the locker room something lower is bothering him Titan Report Podcast (@Titan_Reports) August 4, 2026Mitch Trubisky had a day to forgetTitans backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky had a rough day, throwing three interceptions and almost a fourth. Its unlikely that this bad day will impact the depth chart, but its also something to keep an eye on.#Titans Practice today:-Jeffery Simmons, JC Latham and others get into a fight-Cam Ward and Carnell Tate connect for a 65-yard touchdown-James Williams and Cedric both pick off Trubisky-Will Levis deep ball to Bryce Oliver-Dan Moore Jr. gets hurtWhat a day #TitanUp SharmSports (@SharmSports) August 4, 2026Wheres CodyAnother practice, and another day when there was little to mention of Cody Barton on the Titans defense, and as the veteran in the room, its not a good look. Through the early portions of camp, Cedric Gray, James Williams, and Anthony Hill have made splash plays and are pushing hard for playing time. Now, Barton needs to show up and join the crew.#Titans Training Camp 08/04/2026 Highlights- Former Safety turned LB James Williams Sr. continues to impress at camp.
