By: Amber Pennycuff Spirits were high as fans anxiously awaited for officials to open the gate for the Titans training camp Thursday. The Tennessee Titans began their training camp on July 26 and will continue until August 13th. There have been numerous changes to Tennessee’s program, and one in particular is its head coach Mike Munchak. Munchak was hired in 2011 and won a respectable nine games within his first season. However, the team only added six W’s for the record books last fall.
Former Tennessee Vol Justin Hunter was on just about everyone’s radar last Thursday. The young six-foot-four, 203-pound wide receiver was drafted to the Titans in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. As a freshman at Tennessee, he collected 16 passes for 415 yards and seven touchdowns. Although injuring his hamstring in late May, Hunter seems to be making a comeback and preparing himself for the big season ahead.
Quarterback Jake Locker has been a little shaky in the past for the Titans, however, it seems that things may be taking off. Setting up Locker in a shotgun formation on the field seems to give him more room to move and run the ball. The Titans have made it clear that Locker’s position and skill set on the field is a key essential to this season’s outcome.
The Titan’s Training Camp is held at Saint Thomas Sports Park and admission is free for fans. Training camp is the only time of year that practice is open to the public. The gates will open 15 minutes prior to practice. At the practices, fans are permitted to walk along the three outdoor practice fields; however, practices inside of the bubble are closed to the public. Practice is usually two hours. Afterwards, fans are allowed to get autographs from the players.
If you have a big sports fan in your family or looking for a fun activity for your kids, the Titans Training Camp is an excellent way to get your family outdoors and have some free fun. The remaining times and days for the Titan’s Training Camp are as follows:
August 5- 3:45 p.m.
August 10- 3:00 p.m.
August 11- 6:30 p.m.
August 12- 3:00 p.m.
August 13- 3:15 p.m.
