Wan'Dale Robinson Under Concussion Evaluation After 'Cheap' Hit In Joint Practice

His evaluation will determine whether he can clear protocol before the regular-season opener and highlights concerns about contact in limited‑hit practice periods.

Overview

  • The collision occurred Thursday during a Titans-Bears joint practice in Nashville when Bears safety Xavier Woods hit Robinson across the middle after a catch; Robinson walked off under his own power and was taken for a concussion evaluation.
  • Titans head coach Robert Saleh called the hit "cheap" and a brief scuffle followed the play as teammates from both sides confronted Woods.
  • Left guard Peter Skoronski said the hit violated the spirit of a 'thud' (limited-contact) period and accused Woods of making an unnecessary play on a receiver.
  • Quarterback Cam Ward, who threw the pass, accepted partial responsibility and said he should have put Robinson in a safer position on the play.
  • Robinson is a newly signed focal point of Tennessee's passing game and now faces a short window to complete concussion protocol before the Titans' final preseason game and the Sept. 13 regular-season opener, raising fresh questions about practice intensity and player safety.
