-With stormy weather in the vicinity, the Titans practiced indoors on Tuesday.
-Coach Brian Callahan said every player reported for minicamp, even if some of the players weren't on the field.
-Edge rusher Harold Landry was back on the field after not being spotted during the previous open OTAs, and he looked explosive.

-Callahan talked a bit about receiver Treylon Burks, and his potential to help on special teams, as a gunner on punt coverage and potentially as a returner.

-Quarterback Will Levis was 6-of-10 in 7-on-7 drills, but two of the incompletions were drops. Levis looked sharp with his decision-making and throws, his best toss a strike across the middle to receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

-Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had two catches in an early 7-on-7 period while working with Levis, but he had a bad drop on a Levis pass of 30-plus yards that would've been a big play.
-Cornerback Roger McCreary was around the football on Tuesday, and he broke up another deep ball intended for NWI.
-Cornerback Gabe Jeudy-Lally has made some plays this offseason, and that includes a break-up on a Levis pass intended for Hopkins in Tuesday's session.
-Receiver Jha'Quan Jackson showed strong hands after making a sideline catch, as McCreary tried to wrestle it away to no avail.
-Quarterback Mason Rudolph was 2-of-5 in a 7-on-7 period, with completions to running back Julius Chestnut and receiver Tre'Shaun Harrison. Rudolph threw too deep to Burks on a play downfield, and he was high on a throw to receiver Mason Kinsey.
-Rookie linebacker Cedric Gray made a nice break-up on a Rudolph pass intended for Chestnut.

-Quarterback Malik Willis was 3-of-5 in his 7-on-7 period, with completions to receiver Kyle Philips, tight end Chig Okonkwo and tight end Steven Stillanos.
-Okonkwo made a nice grab on the way to the sideline, and rookie James Williams tried to take it away. Okonkwo told the linebacker: "No, you can't have the ball" before finishing the rep.

Not spotted on the field at Tuesday's minicamp: Defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere, defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat, defensive lineman TK McLendon, and receiver Colton Dowell.
-Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed was spotted at practice during the stretch portion, but he didn't take part in individual drills or 7-on-7 drills. Callahan said the team is working with Sneed to get him ready.

-Callahan said Sweat's absence is considered short-term as the team works with him in rehab. Callahan said there's a chance Sweat could be back on the field next week while making it clear he'll be back for training camp.
-Westbrook-Ikhine was back at practice after missing a day last week for the birth of his son.
Westbrook-Ikhine gave an update after practice:

-Kicker Nick Folk kicked in a special teams period, and looked to be a perfect 5-of-5 kicking field goals, including one from 56 yards out. Kicker Brayden Narveson, an undrafted free agent from North Carolina State, also converted on all three of his field goal attempts.
-Former Titans linebacker Tim Shaw attended Tuesday's practice.
