Camp updates for all 32 NFL teams

Thursday, July 28

The Titans opened training camp with news conferences by general manager Mike Borgonzi and new coach Robert Saleh.

Saleh spoke about how he'll handle calling the defense to get QB Cam Ward prepared for the season. Saleh plans to give Ward different looks but also said the defense will need to work on its scheme.

"Week to week will always be different, but we are still trying to strain the quarterback regardless of who it is," Saleh said. "We're going to structure the defense in a way that gets our guys used to playing defense for other opponents so they can get used to how we're doing things."

Saleh pointed to the joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks as other ways for Ward to see different defensive looks. He'll be in constant communication with OC Brian Daboll and QB coach Shea Tierney and will have individual meetings with Ward. Saleh's goal is to provide defensive insight and ask questions to get feedback from Ward.

More observations from the day:

  • Borgonzi said safety Amani Hooker will come off the physically unable to perform list Tuesday, and right tackle JC Latham will remain on PUP because of a strained pectoral muscle that kept him out of OTAs and minicamp. Borgonzi said Latham's status is day to day.

  • There will be an open competition for the backup quarterback slot according to Saleh. He said they'll give Will Levis every opportunity to compete with Mitchell Trubisky to be Ward's backup.

  • Saleh said he spoke to 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan a few days after Shanahan's car accident. "Very fortunate that he's still here," Saleh said. "Just talking to him and his wife, Mandy, what you see now is nowhere near what it was about two weeks ago. The surgeon did a great job."

  • Borgonzi said the team has had "positive conversations" with let guard Peter Skoronski's agents and is hopeful to get a long-term deal done.
