NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Wednesday at Vanderbilt Health Football Center to continue preparations for Sunday's game vs the Philadelphia Eagles.
Here's a look at today's developments:
-Titans linebacker Cedric Gray was back on the practice field today.
Gray, who missed the season opener, remains in the concussion protocol but he is edging closer to returning.
Coach Robert Saleh, in fact, sounded optimistic about Gray's chances moving forward when talking to reporters before practice.
"He hasn't officially cleared the concussion protocol," Saleh said of Gray, "but we are hopeful to get him back by the end of the week. He has to practice through pads, so we'll see how he goes through that."
The Titans are slated to practice in pads on Thursday.
Gray was listed as a full participant in today's session.
Here's a clip of Gray at practice:

-Players in the locker room talked about the importance of responding with a better performance on Sunday.
The Titans lost 23-10 to the Jets in the opener.
"We have to have guns blazing," tackle Dan Moore Jr. said of Sunday's game vs the Eagles. "There has to be a sense of urgency to go out there and get this W. I felt like we got dominated a little bit last week, and we need to have a nasty taste in our mouth about changing that."

-Titans linebacker Mohamoud Diabate had surgery for a thumb fracture, and he has already been ruled OUT for Sunday's game.
