3) Andre Johnson, 35, continues to impress with his consistency, which has been in short supply among Titans wide receivers. The veteran's two-year contract has no guaranteed money and he'll play for the league minimum this season, if he makes the team. But at this point it's tough to think he won't. The Titans' receivers as a group were the least productive in the league last season.

4) Wide receiver Kendall Wright did not practice after a left hamstring injury Tuesday. Harry Douglas took his reps in the slot. Cornerback Brice McCain (ankle), center Andy Gallik (knee) and rookie outside linebackers Kevin Dodd (foot) and Aaron Wallace (high ankle sprain) also sat out.

5) Titans linebacker Tim Shaw, officially in his second stint with the team after signing a one-daycontract and being dubbed a "Titan for life," was listed on the roster with his old number 59. Shaw was diagnosed with ALS and retired in 2012. He was not in attendance Thursday, but twice appeared at team meetings this week. He played with the Titans for three seasons.
