The Tennessee Titans and the Atlanta Falcons begin their week with a joint practice on Aug. 12 in Flowery Branch, Georgia at the Falcons’ facility.

Tennessee and Atlanta will have a second joint practice on Aug. 13 before a preseason game on Aug. 15 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It’s another good opportunity for Cam Ward and the Titans offense to get looks against an opposing starting defense. The Falcons’ retooled defense includes first-round picks Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. coming off the edge.

The Titans opened the preseason slate last Saturday with a 29-7 loss at Tampa Bay, with Ward leading the starting offense to a touchdown on their second drive of the game. Otherwise, the defense allowed 178 rushing yards which drew the ire of Brian Callahan, and the backup offensive units produced three turnovers.
