NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Thursday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park to continue preparations for Sunday's game vs the New England Patriots.
Here's a look at today's developments:
-Titans receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has been making the most of his opportunities.
Westbrook-Ikhine has scored a touchdown in three consecutive games, against the Colts, Bills and Lions.
His three touchdowns have come on a total of five catches.
"Just trying to take advantage of opportunities when they come my way," Westbrook-Ikhine said. "There's some plays where it's schemed up and I know it's coming, and other where you just try and make something happen. So, hopefully we can keep that going. At the end of the day, I just want to help this team win."
Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2020, Westbrook-Ikhine has 99 career receptions. With one more catch, Westbrook-Ikhine would become just the fourth undrafted player in the "Titans era" to record 100 catches, joining receivers Nate Washington and Drew Bennett, and tight end Anthony Firkser.
"I did not know that," Westbrook-Ikhine said of the feat on Thursday. "That's pretty cool. To be with Firk, that's my guy."
Westbrook-Ikhine has already broken out some pretty unique touchdown celebrations this season, and they're usually geared around his new son, Aaron.
In Detroit, Westbrook-Ikhine's celebration centered on mimicking how his son dances at his activity table, when he's standing up.
"I told my wife I was going to do it before the game," he said. "I said it was going to look really goofy, but just so you know, that's what it is."
Earlier this season, he'd done a celebration rocking the baby, and changing a diaper. He also mimicked playing ping pong, something players regularly do in the locker room.
"It's usually a baby inspiration," Westbrook-Ikhine said. "I'm going to look to my wife (Hannah) to see what could be next."
-The Titans released their second injury report of the week on Thursday, and there were some adjustments.
-Quarterback Will Levis (right shoulder) was limited in practice for the second day in a row on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Coach Brian Callahan said the Titans will monitor Levis, who has missed the past two games while recovering from his right shoulder injury, during the week.
"We'll try to get a feel for where he's at after some rest, see how he feels throwing the ball, see how it looks," Callahan said. "The more important part for Will right now is going to be not just today, but Thursday, Friday, days consecutive, throwing to see how that goes.
"If he's feeling good and feeling up to it, we'll ramp (his throwing) up and see where he's at."
