Joint practice sessions between the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons offer Tennessee a golden opportunity to fix what went wrong after a 29-7 preseason loss and to sharpen roster battles down the line. The Titans will lean on added reps for players who flashed potential in the Tampa Bay game, while the Falcons present a stern test that should reveal depth at several positions. The seven players highlighted — Timmy Horne, Mike Brown, Jackson Slater, Otis Reese IV, Kalel Mullings, David Martin-Robinson, and Clarence Lewis — each have a clear path to meaningful roles if they maximize these practice reps.
Timmy Horne anchors the interior with Jeffery Simmons out, potentially earning more run-stopping snaps. Brown must prove he can hold his spot in a crowded safety room after an uneven opener. Slater, Mullings, and Reese IV push for steady roles in a hot competition, while Martin-Robinson and Lewis try to lock behind the starters at tight end and cornerback, respectively. For fantasy managers, this week is about monitoring depth and situational usage as roster decisions loom.
Keep an eye on how Mullings integrates with the backfield with Tyjae Spears sidelined, and whether Horne’s energy translates into consistent interior pressure. The Falcons’ cross-over work will highlight Titans’ defensive depth and potential sleeper candidates in late rounds or waiver wires as the preseason unfolds.
