Overview
- During a heated joint practice with the Chicago Bears on Thursday, Aug. 27, Bears safety Xavier Woods hit Titans receiver Wan'Dale Robinson over the middle, sparking a brief on-field scuffle and sending Robinson to the trainers for a concussion evaluation.
- Titans coach Robert Saleh called the contact "cheap," and teammates including center Austin Schlottmann and guard Peter Skoronski publicly criticized the hit while staffers separated players after the altercation.
- The practice also featured a breakout day for rookie Carnell Tate, who caught seven passes and scored two touchdowns while quarterback Cam Ward completed multiple touchdown throws in extended team periods.
- Chicago’s day included strong red-zone work from quarterback Caleb Williams and several Bears players showing fatigue or minor injuries in hot, humid conditions that produced cramping and early exits.
- With the preseason finale scheduled for Saturday, the Titans and Bears will balance medical clearances, player rest and final evaluations before making Week 1 roster and snap-allocation decisions under league concussion rules.
