Analyst breaks down road map for Titans' preseason joint practices

[ASFN Admin]

The dates and times for the Tennessee Titans' preseason and joint practices have been set, and now it is just a waiting game with roughly a month until the start of training camp.

The Titans should have a spirited camp, with a ton of roster spots and depth roles up for grabs in what is sure to be a competitive stretch of practices. With Tennessee breaking in both a new offensive and defensive scheme, having three joint practices ahead of their preseason matchups should help the team get up to speed before the opener against the New York Jets.

Mike Kadlick of Sports Illustrated took a look at all the joint practices and came up with a road map for the action.

Titans vs. 49ers​

Start date: Tuesday, Aug. 11Location: Santa Clara, Calif.

Kyle Shanahan will reunite with his longtime defensive coordinator, Robert Saleh, this summer as the 49ers will host the Titans for a joint practice in Santa Clara. The session comes two days prior to the clubs facing off in their preseason opener from Levi’s Stadium.

This may have been the easiest joint session for Saleh to organize with his history with Shanahan and the 49ers organization. It should also be a great tune-up for the new-look Titans as they take on an experienced unit, and act as an early training camp measuring stick.

Seahawks vs. Titans​

Start date: Friday, Aug. 21Location: Nashville

Joint practice No. 2 for the Titans will take place in Nashville, with quarterback Cam Ward & Co. welcoming the Seahawks to town for a mid-camp run-in with one of the NFC’s best. Seattle—coming off its second Super Bowl title in franchise history—will be looking to smooth out its revamped depth chart, while Tennessee does the same to kick off Saleh’s first year in charge.

The young Titans unit will get its second tough test with the defending Super Bowl champs coming to town. The Seahawks should pose a test for the Tennessee defense with their balanced attack.

Bears vs. Titans​

Start date: Thursday, Aug. 27Location: Nashville

In the final joint practice of the NFL’s 2026 training camp calendar, the Titans will welcome the Bears to Nashville in late August. The two clubs will then square off two days later, on Aug. 29, at Nissan Stadium to close out the preseason.

The Titans will close out their unconventional approach to the preseason with their third joint session and another matchup against a playoff team from 2025. With Saleh planning to use his starters throughout preseason, it will be interesting to see how much this third joint practice will impact his plans heading into the season.
