NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Wednesday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park to continue preparations for Sunday's game vs the Green Bay Packers.
Here's a look at today's developments:
-The Titans turned linebacker Ernest Jones IV loose against the Jets, and he showed out.
Jones, acquired before the season in a trade with the Rams, led the defense with nine tackles in his first start in Tennessee.
Jones said he felt comfortable in the defense, and thankful for the chance.
"I came here, and I knew that I could help out this team, I just needed to learn," Jones said. "I'm at that point where I'm really getting comfortable with myself, and my ability, and trusting what I see. It's only up from here."
Jones also made it clear he's happy to be in Tennessee, where he has a chip on his shoulder after being traded away from the Rams, where he was a full-time starter.
"I'd be lying to say there wasn't a chip on my shoulder, because people gave up on me and thought I couldn't do," Jones said. "So, every week I am trying to slap not only the other team in the face, but other teams in the face as well.
"(The Rams) were a better team without me, so that's where we're at. But I am thankful for this opportunity, man, Ran (Carthon), the Titans, they gave me new life and I feel like I am back to loving football again, loving being around these guys. They truly brought me back to life here, and I am thankful."
-The Titans released their first injury report of the week.
-Running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) did not practice.
-Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (NIR-Rest) did not practice, but he spoke with reporters in the locker room after practice.
