While the front office was busy tweaking the roster, the Tennessee Titans returned to the field in preparation for their season opener against the Chicago Bears. The team appears to be relatively healthy, but a couple key players, DeAndre Hopkins and Jamal Adams, were held out of practice on Wednesday.

The Titans are optimistic that Hopkins will be ready to go for Week 1. The veteran wide receiver strained his knee early in training camp and has not participated in the preseason. After the injury, he was given a four-to-six-week window to return, which would put him on track for the opener. Hopkins is said to be on schedule, but until he takes the field, his status will continue to be in question.
There is less of a question mark on Adams. According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans‘ official site, he sat out due to soreness. This is nothing new for the veteran, as he was given maintenance days throughout training camp. He should return to the practice field in the coming days to continue preparations and be ready to go against the Bears.
