NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Friday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park to continue preparations for Sunday's game vs the Minnesota Vikings.
Here's a look at today's developments:
-Nicholas Petit-Frere will be back in the saddle at right tackle for the Titans on Sunday.
On Friday, Coach Brian Callahan ruled Leroy Watson OUT for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Watson started the past three games at right tackle.
Petit-Frere was the team's starter at right tackle the first four games of the season before being replaced in the lineup.
"The week has been good," Petit-Frere said on Friday. "We've been preparing a lot for Minnesota this week, so ready for the challenge that's coming up.
"I love getting a chance to help this team, and glad to get an opportunity to be back out there."
Here's a clip of Petit-Frere from the locker room today:
Callahan said Isaiah Prince will likely be elevated from the practice squad to be the swing tackle on Sunday.
Here's a clip of Prince today:
-Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (quad) has been ruled OUT for Sunday for the Titans.
-Titans receiver Tyler Boyd turned 30 on Friday. The team's rookies sang to him after today's practice.
Callahan said Boyd's health has improved after he fought through a shoulder injury, and this is the best he's felt in a while.
-Linebacker Jack Gibbens, who played at the University of Minnesota, will be the team's extra captain on Sunday against the Vikings.
