Second-year wide receiver Treylon Burks sustained a sprained lateral collateral knee ligament during the first day of joint workouts with the Minnesota Vikings. Burks was injured without contact, which – after an injury-filled rookie season – raises questions about his durability. The fact that it was not a season-ending injury, however, means he will have the opportunity to live up to the expectations that many have for the 2022 first-round pick who – up to this point – had a highly productive offseason. ... The preseason opener against the Chicago Bears, a 23-17 loss, was an opportunity for everyone to evaluate the Titans' young quarterbacks, Malik Willis and Will Levis. Willis showed signs of maturity and continued development in his second preseason, as evidenced by how quickly he got rid of the ball and by how often he was willing to hang in the pocket. Levis showcased the arm strength that makes him such an appealing prospect but also (at times) looked like the rookie that he is. ... The offensive line, which has been the biggest question mark of the Titans' offseason, opened with an exclamation point, a long drive that prompted coaches to keep the starters on the bench for the remainder of the contest. The reserves did not live up to the standard that the starters set, however, and showed that the overall construction of that unit remains very much a work in progress. ... Rookie running back Tyjae Spears did nothing to diminish optimism about what he might be able to contribute to the offense this season and even chipped in as a return man.
