NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans wrapped up their offseason work on Thursday, and coach Mike Vrabel addressed his players before they headed their separate ways.
The countdown is now on until training camp.
Quarterbacks and rookies are scheduled to report on July 22. Reporting date for the entire team is July 25. The team's first practice is July 26.
Vrabel gave his players a message before they left Saint Thomas Sports Park.
"I have a countdown on my phone," Vrabel said on Thursday. "We're 87 days from our first game. I think that starts to put things in perspective, and when I say that I get excited to be in this position -- 87 days from a real NFL football game. That was the first message, that we're that close.
"The next one was that they get things taken care of. They take care of their health, their conditioning, they take care of the family, they take care of a lot of the little things as far as license and registration. Making sure all of those little things are taken care of, because once training camp comes around it's tough to find time to get a haircut, or do any of those little things when you're playing and coaching in this league. You use this time in the summer to take care of a lot of those little things that can kind of creep up during the season."
The Titans haven't released the team's training camp schedule yet.
But Vrabel gave a few hints.
The team plans to hold another "Friday Night Lights" on a high school field, which will be announced in the coming weeks. The Titans plan to hold a practice at Nissan Stadium on Saturday, August 4. The Titans will practice against the Buccaneers leading up to the August 18 preseason game in Nashville.
On Thursday, tractors were already on the fields at Saint Thomas Sports Park, the beginning stage of the field prep.
"We'll have as many practices that we can be open to our fans, to come out and watch," Vrabel said.
Vrabel said he expects all the players to be available for the start of training camp, with the exception of tackle Jack Conklin, who is still recovering from knee surgery.
Receiver Rishard Matthews and tight end Phillip Supernaw didn't take part in the team's OTAs and minicamp, and Michael Campanaro was sidelined late in the offseason. Receiver Corey Davis saw some of his work scaled back late.
"I would hope that we come back as a healthy football team," Vrabel said "We'll discuss and Jon (Robinson) and I will discuss all the PUP (list), and all those different lists that go on. But, I would imagine we would be pretty healthy coming back here."
Vrabel said the physicality of practices, and the schedule, could change.
But things will be competitive.
"I think that in my mind right now I've got some practices laid out where they're full pads, and its uppers, or its shells," Vrabel said. "But, I think that constantly changes. I don't ever want to be a coach that just draws up a schedule in May or June and sticks to it, and is forced to stick to it in August because that's what you came up with. Ideally, we'd like to stick to the rules and we'll be in shells the first two days. Then, we'll be in full pads and work our way through that, and see how it goes. See who's available, and see who we have for each practice, and see what we need. Do we need to throw the ball more? Do we need to run it more? There's a lot of things that go into play to determine whether we are in full pads, or whether we're not in full pads."
As for when starting jobs will be earned, well, that will be determined in time as well, Vrabel said.
Vrabel, in his first season as a head coach, is already looking forward to training camp, and seeing how it all plays out.
"I sit in (special teams coach) Craig Aukerman's meetings and one thing that I love about him is he's really honest with the players and he explains to them that, 'Your position on the punt team is directly related to the amount of trust that we have for you as a player.' If you're not on the punt team that's an easy answer, that we probably don't trust you," Vrabel said. "When we trust a player enough, then he's on the first team punt team. Those are questions that can be answered by a number of different things. How much we trust a player? How productive is the player? How responsible he is? How much of a professional he is? I think at that point in time, you can say, 'Man, I'm comfortable with this guy being a starter."
