NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Friday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park to continue preparations for Monday's game at the Miami Dolphins.
Here's a look at today's developments:
-The Titans replaced a struggling Nicholas Petit-Frere at right tackle in the middle of this past Sunday's game against the Packers, and on Friday, Coach Brian Callahan wasn't ready to announce a starter for Monday night at the position.
Jaelyn Duncan, who replaced Petit-Frere against Green Bay, popped up on the Injury Report on Friday with a shoulder injury, and was listed as limited.
Petit-Frere said on Friday he feels he's had a good week of practice, and he's ready to earn his job.
"I think the week's been good," Petit-Frere said. "A lot of practicing. We've been competing a lot this week. It's about making sure I know what I'm doing and being technically sound.
"That's always been my thing: In the NFL, it's the most competitive league, so every day is not guaranteed, so you have to compete. So, that's what it has been every day for me: Find a way to compete and get better … and become a better football player."
Here's a video clip of Petit-Frere in the locker room on Friday:
-The Titans made several roster moves on Friday. Linebacker Luke Gifford was promoted from the practice squad to the team's 53-man roster, and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie was placed on Injured Reserve.
