This Sunday is a significant one for a few reasons, Tennessee Titans fans, as not only is it the last one before training camp begins, but the team is set to unveil its Houston Oilers throwback this evening.
And, it’s also the last opportunity we’ll get to check up on the Titans’ division rivals — the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars — before they also begin training camp this week.
We start in Houston, where Texans left tackle Laremy Tunstil warns against people sleeping on his team ahead of the 2023 campaign. Also, the Texans’ theme for their home game against the Titans cannot possibility be a coincidence.
Moving to Jacksonville, a Jags assistant coach made history this past week. The team also secured their previously franchise-tagged tight end, Evan Engram, with an extension right before the deadline.
In Indy, the Colts unveiled some new threads for the 2023 campaign, and our friends over at Colts Wire have you covered with all the pre-training camp analysis you’ll ever need.
Check out those stories and many more in our latest AFC South news roundup. And, of course, a very happy Sunday to you all!
