-Titans Coach Brian Callahan held a media session with reporters before today’s practice.
A lot of interesting nuggets that came out of that:
-Callahan said the team is still hoping to get DeAndre Hopkins back for the opener. “He’s progressing, and he’s in a good place,” Callahan said. “It will just be a matter of how he feels during practice next week. … As long as he feels good and feels he can play at a high level, he’ll be ready to roll.”
-Callahan said he also feels good about where safety Jamal Adams is physically, and he’s hoping he’ll ready to go next week.
-Callahan told receiver Mason Kinsey he was the 7th receiver, and if the team would’ve kept 7, he would’ve made it. (Kinsey was signed to the practice squad after being waived). Callahan said he loves Kinsey’s energy, toughness and versatility while calling him one of his favorite guys on the team.
-Receiver Tyler Boyd will be the team’s emergency QB for now, Callahan said.
-The Titans created an office for the quarterbacks this offseason, a place where they can meet on their own in the building. In the past they met in the offices of coaches, or at other spots. Now they have their own space.
-Callahan raved about center Lloyd Cushenberry, who was elected one of the team’s captains. Callahan said Cushenberry has taken on a leadership role in o-line room, said he doesn’t tolerate anything less than expected, and he hold his line mates accountable, in his own way.
Here’s a clip of Cushenberry talking after today’s practice:
