NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Tuesday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park.
The team will face the Minnesota Vikings in preseason game No.3 on Friday night at Nissan Stadium.
Here's a look at all the developments from today's practice …
-It was another steamer on Tuesday, with a feels-like temperature of 103 degrees at the end of practice. Was it a coincidence Nelly's "Hot In Herre" played through the speakers during part of practice?
-Receiver Van Jefferson had a good day in a number of areas. Jefferson caught a practice-high four passes, including a pair of deep balls. Coaches also praised Jefferson for his blocking on one play.
After working on the JUGS after practice, Jefferson spoke to reporters.
-Quarterback Cam Ward went 5-of-8 in the 7-on-7 period, and 5-of-9 in the team periods on Tuesday, making him 10-of-17 for the day.

-Running back Tony Pollard had several nice runs, some of them through giant holes.
-Right tackle J.C. Latham was seen leaving practice early with a trainer after individual drills.
