Last Week In Philadelphia

Tennessee TitansThe Titans opened the preseason on the road last week with a 27-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Quarterbacks Ryan Tannehill and Logan Woodside each completed two touchdown passes, and the Titans defense held the Eagles to 227 yards and 10 first downs.

Starting quarterback Marcus Mariota was on the field for the first series of the game. He completed four passes for 24 yards—all to wide receiver Adam Humphries, a 2019 unrestricted free agent acquisition from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Meanwhile, second-year wide receiver Kalif Raymond led the offense with six receptions and 80 yards, and he added three punt returns for 35 yards (long of 27) and a kickoff return for 24 yards. Raymond, who finished last season on the Titans practice squad, has spent time with the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and New York Giants since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2016.
