Titans’ Wan’Dale Robinson Evaluated for Concussion After Hard Hit in Joint Practice

The late‑practice blow has left Robinson’s status unclear for the preseason finale and highlighted injury risks from full‑contact joint sessions.

Overview

  • A hard hit by Chicago safety Xavier Woods on Wan’Dale Robinson during the Tennessee‑Chicago joint practice on Aug. 27 led to a brief on‑field scuffle and prompted Titans coach Robert Saleh to call the play “cheap.”
  • Robinson was able to walk off under his own power but was taken inside for concussion evaluation and did not return to practice, leaving his availability for Saturday’s preseason finale uncertain.
  • No league suspension or team discipline has been reported so far, and Titans players including Austin Schlottmann and Peter Skoronski publicly confronted Woods after the play.
  • The session also produced significant on‑field evaluations: rookie Carnell Tate caught seven passes for two touchdowns and QB Cam Ward worked through reps with Bears QB Caleb Williams exchanging development advice.
  • Teams will monitor Robinson through the NFL concussion protocol, which could affect Week 1 planning and open immediate snaps for Tate, Chimere Dike and other receivers if Robinson misses time.
