Tennessee Titans Prepare for Game Against Houston Texans
Nashville, Tennessee — The Tennessee Titans held a practice session at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park on September 24, 2025, as they prepare for their upcoming AFC South game against the Houston Texans scheduled for September 28, 2025. The Titans enter this crucial matchup looking for their first victory of the season, currently standing at 0-3 and aiming to end a nine-game losing streak dating back to 2024.
During the practice, quarterback Cam Ward participated fully after being limited earlier in the week due to an ankle and calf injury. The Titans are looking for a boost from Ward, who had a season-high of 219 passing yards and one touchdown in the previous game against the Indianapolis Colts, despite throwing his first interception which was returned for a touchdown. Additionally, quarterback Trevor Siemian was present at the session.
The practice highlighted several receivers, including Tyler Lockett #4, Chimere Dike #17, Mason Kinsey #12, Elic Ayomanor #5, Van Jefferson #11, and Calvin Ridley #0. Running back Tony Pollard #20 also participated, signaling a focused effort on the offense with new play-calling duties now in the hands of quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree. Hardegree has experience with rookie quarterbacks and previously served as the interim offensive coordinator for the Raiders in 2023. Ward expressed confidence in Hardegree’s understanding of the offense and their established relationship.
The Titans face challenges heading into the game, particularly with starting right tackle JC Latham likely to miss the game due to a hip injury. Latham has now missed his eighth consecutive practice. The team may turn to either John Ojukwu or Oli Udoh at right tackle as they look to solidify their line ahead of the matchup against the Texans.
The Titans will be up against the Texans, who are also struggling with a three-game losing streak. Despite the Titans’ challenges, the Texans are favored to win against them this Sunday.
