The Tennessee Titans were back on the practice field at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park on Saturday morning, and they have a familiar face returning to the mix.
Offensive lineman Nicholas Petit-Frere, who was activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Friday, practiced with his teammates for the first time since last season.
Titans head coach Brian Callahan indicated that the coaching staff will ease him back into things.
Petit-Frere missed the start of the 2023 NFL season after being suspended for violating the NFL’s policy on gambling. He lost his job in the process but returned for three games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Petit-Frere missed all of the Titans’ offseason team activities rehabbing the shoulder and undergoing cleanup knee surgery.
The 24-year-old will look to win the right tackle starting job, up against the likes of John Ojukwu, Jaelyn Duncan, and Leroy Watson, among others.
Here are some highlights of his return:
