Seahawks IOL will face good tests vs. Titans DL in joint practice

The Seattle Seahawks traveled to Nashville on Friday for a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans. They will face the Titans again on Sunday during Week 2 of the preseason. Tennessee is a team in the process of rebuilding, but they should offer the Seahawks' interior offensive line a challenging practice session. All three starters from the Seahawks' offensive line – Grey Zabel, Jalen Sundell, and Anthony Bradford – are expected to start in this practice.

Their readiness for the upcoming regular season will be tested. The Titans' defensive line is currently considered the strongest part of their roster. While Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams was named ESPN's top interior defender this offseason, many experts felt that Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons deserved the title.

Last season, Simmons led all defensive tackles in the NFL in sacks. However, the Titans have struggled this season, sitting at 3-14. Earlier in the offseason, the Titans signed DT John Franklin-Myers to a three-year contract worth more than $20 million per year. Together, Franklin-Myers and Simmons could form one of the best interior defensive duos in football this season.

Titans defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh is eager to see them perform. If both Simmons and Franklin-Myers take part in Friday's joint practice, they will put the Seahawks' interior offensive line to the test.
