NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Wednesday at Saint Thomas Sports Park to begin preparations for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium.
Some quick hits after Wednesday's practice:
-Left tackle Taylor Lewan, inactive for Sunday's game in Seattle after a pregame setback, was on the practice field on Wednesday, and he was listed as a full participant on the team's Injury Report. Lewan looked good in the open portion of practice, working smoothly in drills without a knee brace. Lewan missed the end of the 2020 season with a torn ACL in his right knee.
-Linebacker Jayon Brown, who missed Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, did not practice on Wednesday.
-Tight end Anthony Firkser, who missed Sunday's game with a knee injury, did not practice on Wednesday.
