The Tennessee Titans were back at practice on Monday, but the team periods were not open to the media, so we don’t have a full breakdown of everything that went on during the session.
Tennessee saw a bunch of players return to practice, including Treylon Burks, Chig Okonkwo, Dillon Radunz, Jaelyn Duncan and Monty Rice, according to ESPN’s Turron Davenport.
Burks was no doubt the biggest surprise of the bunch, as it was thought he might be in danger of missing Week 1. Clearly that is no longer the case, which is fantastic news.
Notice how Treylon Burks landed om the left knee. That's the one he injured. Very good sign. https://t.co/B0JRgeOLcN

Radunz was activated off the PUP list earlier in the day and looks set to be ready for the start of the season. That said, head coach Mike Vrabel revealed Radunz will be eased back in, first by taking part only in individual periods.
Rice had missed the final two preseason games, but as he revealed on Monday, his absence was not injury-related. The reason?
“Life. Life and God. That’s the best way to put it,” Rice said, per John Glennon of Nashville Post.
The Titans aren’t required to release an injury report yet, but thanks to beat writers on the ground we know who didn’t practice. Here they are:

Haskins has since been placed on injured reserve, which will end his 2023 season before it starts.
