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.
