Biggest takeaways from Titans’ 2nd open practice of training camp

Titans Turron Davenport Malik Willis Arden Key Paul Kuharsky Will Levis Jamarco Jones John Glennon Kristian Fulton Ryan Tannehill

The Tennessee Titans hit the practice field for their second open session of training camp on Friday, and as always we have all the biggest takeaways from it.

In terms of attendance, fifth-round pick and tight end Josh Whyle returned to  after not being on the field during the first open session. Meanwhile, right tackle candidate, Jamarco Jones, was absent, and defensive lineman Tyler Shelvin exited early. No reason was given for either.

It was a strong day for the defense, and especially edge rusher Arden Key, who had multiple sacks on the day.

But, as you’ll see, some of Tennessee’s wide receivers got the better of the cornerbacks, including DeAndre Hopkins, who may have had the best catch of the session over Kristian Fulton, who came up looking for a flag (video included in one-on-ones section below).

As for the quarterbacks: Will Levis and Malik Willis weren’t as good as they were on Wednesday, while Ryan Tannehill continued to look like Tennessee’s best, which is no surprise.

Now, keep scrolling for all of the biggest takeaways from Friday based on the observations of beat writers on the ground.

Via ESPN’s Turron Davenport: “Trey Wolff 33,37, 40, 43 (off up right), 45, 48, 33, 50.”

Not a great day for Levis, Willis, but Tannehill solid

Via John Glennon of Nashville Post: “Levis threw a bad pick in 7-on-7s, as Tyreque Jones nabbed the overthrow. Almost threw another pick at the sideline. Not a good day for (Levis) overall. Nor for Willis.”

Glennon: “Tannehill continues to look head and shoulders above both backups, not surprisingly.”

Coverage, pass-rush with "strong" showing; Arden Key shines

Glennon: “Thought D coverage, D pass rush was strong most of day.”

Davenport: “Naquan Jones and Jaleel Johnson collapsed pocket, got would be sack on Malik Willis.”

Davenport: “Arden Key slashed inside for would be sack.”

Davenport: “Rashad Weaver got a sack during team [period]. Beat the [right tackle].”

Davenport: “Arden key [with] another would be sack. This time from left side.”
