The Tennessee Titans visit the Atlanta Falcons tonight in Week 2 of the 2025 preseason at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
For Tennessee, it’s the next checkpoint in the Cam Ward transition. The No. 1 overall pick looked poised in his debut and now gets a second live look after a week of joint practices in Atlanta. Expect the staff to keep the plan conservative—clean operation, quick decisions, and more situational reps, not volume.
Atlanta’s quarterback plan is also clear: Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins are set to sit again, with Easton Stick and Emory Jones taking most of the snaps. One receiver to monitor, Darnell Mooney, remains out with a shoulder issue. It’s a depth evaluation night for Raheem Morris’ group.
Things to Watch
Ward’s target distribution will be under the microscope as coaches look to see if the rookie can spread the ball beyond Calvin Ridley or if he’ll continue leaning on his WR1.
Lingering tensions from Wednesday’s joint practice scuffle between these two teams could add extra heat to what’s usually a vanilla preseason game.
Special teams races remain wide open for Tennessee, with multiple candidates auditioning for punt and kick return duties.
Falcons’ depth will be tested with extended reps for backups, especially on the offensive line and in the secondary.
