Tennessee Titans' biggest takeaways from Sunday training camp practice

The Tennessee Titans were back on the practice field on Sunday for what was their fourth-straight training camp practice that included pads. The Titans will get a day off on Monday before returning on Tuesday to begin preparations for their first preseason game, which comes on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers .

Quarterback Will Levis once again had an up-and-down practice, except this time he finished strong after starting off hot on Saturday before cooling off. We also saw some rookies stand out, including defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat.

Check out that and more as we take a look at the biggest takeaways based on beat writer observations from the Titans' latest practice of training camp.

Tennessee Titans training camp takeaways

Will Levis finishes strong

Per Wyatt, Levis got off to a slow start on Sunday before finishing strong.

After a slow start, quarterback Will Levis heated up and finished strong. Levis completed just two of his first six passes in team and 7-on-7 periods, in part because defenders made good plays. But Levis completed 6-of-8 to finish practice, and he ended the day 8-of-14 in the 7-on-7 and team periods combined. I now have Levis at 83-of-110 with three interceptions in 7-on-7 and team periods combined in camp.

List of standouts

Wyatt: "I've seen rookie linebacker Cedric Gray making a few more plays himself of late."

Backup QB review

Wyatt: "Quarterback Mason Rudolph continues to be sharp, and accurate. On Sunday, Rudolph was a perfect 11-of-11 in team periods, and 2-of-4 in 7-on-7 work. Rudolph threw one of the touchdown tosses to Philips in a low red zone period, and he found Philips, who made a diving catch, on a play later in practice. I now have Rudolph at 64-of-76 with one INT in the 7-on-7 and team drills in camp, which is an impressive percentage of 84.2 percent."

Wyatt: "Quarterback Malik Willis threw his first interception of training camp on Sunday, but otherwise had a pretty good day himself. I had Willis 6-of-8 in team work, and 3-of-4 in 7-on-7, to finish the day 9-of-12. Willis connected with Philips on a touchdown in 7-on-7, hitting him with a bullet across the middle. I now have Willis 48-of-70 in 7-on-7 and team work so far in camp, with the one interception."

Titans' offense thrives in the red zone

Some love for Kyle Philips

Wyatt: "A few years ago, receiver Kyle Philips created a lot of buzz for himself in training camp, as he excelled in workouts, and in joint practices. As a rookie, Philips was a media darling, a fifth-round pick who was shifty, and new. Well, Philips seems like a forgotten man now, perhaps because of all the newcomers at his position. Philips is still plugging away, and he's quietly been having a really good camp. Head coach Brian Callahan even gave him a shout-out on Sunday, following a session when he caught four passes, including two touchdowns. Through seven open practices in camp, my unofficial tally shows Philips with 14 catches in the 7-on-7 and team periods combined. By my count, only two other Titans have more."

Hassan Haskins having a good camp

ESPN's Turron Davenport : "Hassan Haskins continues to impress. Just hit a hole with urgency and jumped over a defender for a 7 yd gain."

Wyatt: "Running back Hassan Haskins had a nice run up the middle, and he's been a consistent performer in camp."

Jha'Quan Jackson shines

Wyatt: "It was a good day for rookie Jha'Quan Jackson, who had three catches, and a touchdown."

Kenneth Murray keeps showing up

Davenport: "Wow. Kenneth Murray on a blitz. Free release but he timed it perfectly. Levis had to get rid of it quickly. Jack Gibbens knocked it down."

Wyatt: "Linebacker Kenneth Murray shows up each day."
