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 Wednesday, the NFL released the complete list of league-wide joint practices, and the Titans will have back-to-back weeks of joint sessions to kick off their preseason slate.
The announcement of the practice against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had been rumored since the schedule was released, but was not verified until this release. Tennessee will head to Tampa and hold the first of what will likely be two sessions on August 8 ahead of their Week 1 preseason game.

Fans have known for weeks that the Titans would be heading to Atlanta to practice against the Falcons after Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris announced that the arrangements had been made and that they would hold joint practices with the Titans ahead of their Week 2 preseason game in Atlanta.
The two teams will hold joint sessions on August 12 and 13 before 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.
It will be interesting to see how head coach Brian Callahan approaches practices and games in his second season. In 2024, Callahan held joint practices with the Seattle Seahawks before their Week 2 preseason battle and 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, the team could opt for more in-game reps instead of rest.
