  "account": "Following Tennessee Titans' first regular-season practice, head coach Robert Saleh addressed the media and shared insights about the team's progress heading into their Week 1 game against the New York Jets. Saleh touched upon various topics, including his perspective as a former Jet, but the primary focus was on the injury situation. Rookie Carnell Tate and tight end David Martin-Robinson were absent from today's padless practice due to stiffness and soreness, respectively, and were given a rest day. Head coach Saleh confirmed that Fernando Carmona secured the starting right guard position. He also discussed the practice squad, affectionately referred to as \"the next 16\" by Saleh, emphasizing their importance in being prepared for the regular season. Saleh highlighted an innovative approach of working with the practice squad players on different positions during post-practice sessions, which should aid their development before the season opener against the Jets. The Titans will use this week as a walkthrough for a typical game week, resuming their training tomorrow.",
