The Tennessee Titans hit the practice field for their 10th full-squad session of training camp on Friday after taking a day off to address social justice issues in wake of the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Afterwards, head coach Mike Vrabel did his normal presser with the media and touched on a number of topics, including rookie offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson’s development, inside linebacker Will Compton’s return, and he gave his latest non-answer to a question about outside linebacker Vic Beasley.

Here’s a look at everything Vrabel had to say about those topics when speaking to the media on Friday afternoon.

Compton was one of two familiar faces the Titans brought back in recent days, with the other being running back Jeremy McNichols. Both players made their 2020 camp debuts on Friday.

As far as the former is concerned, Vrabel likes the intelligence and energy Compton brings to the team.



















The role Vrabel is talking about will likely be on special teams, but Compton will also be vying for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart behind Jayon Brown, Rashaan Evans and David Long with Nick Dzubnar.

Compton’s return is bad news for UDFA Cale Garrett, who was once thought to be a possibility to make the roster. Barring the Titans carrying a sixth inside linebacker, which is unlikely, Garrett is looking like a cut. However, he’d likely end up on the practice squad if another team doesn’t grab him.
