We are just one day away from the Tennessee Titans taking the field for their first practice of training camp, and on the eve of Day 1, head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the media, touching on a number of topics.
Tennessee’s players are already in the building, and some of them have been for days. The Titans’ rookies and injured players reported on July 23, while everyone else showed up on July 26.
The Titans will hold their first practice on July 27. You can check out the full training camp schedule, complete with dates and times for practices, right here.
It didn’t take long for Vrabel to say something noteworthy, as he started off the presser by revealing veteran cornerback Buster Skrine had retired. That was just one of the many topics Vrabel covered on Tuesday.
Here’s a look at the rest of the important things Vrabel spoke on during his first training camp press conference.

Mike Vrabel said he doesn’t foresee any issues with Treylon Burks being limited in reps as camp starts, but said it is a day-to-day thing for each player.

#Titans‘ Vrabel: Biggest things for Burks in training camp are developing chemistry with Tannehill, learning where he’s supposed to be on routes, etc.

#Titans‘ Vrabel: Regarding Willis, wants him to command the huddle, get guys lined up, be able to fix alignments in the offense at line of scrimmage.

#Titans‘ Vrabel: Willis made a lot of correct decisions in the spring, but timing was a bit off and accuracy suffered some as a result.

Mike Vrabel mentioned Arthur Smith as a supplement to Matt LaFleur and Todd Downing as support for Smith. Now he says Tim Kelly is in that same role for Downing now. It’s all about support. He likes how yhe convo has been between them so far. #Titans
