Carnell Tate reportedly took a big hit at the end of Tennessee Titans practice on Monday. Robert Saleh said afterwards that he was a bit shaken up, but that they did not think he had a concussion. So no real cause for concern until practice started today and there was no sign of Tate.

The good news is that Saleh said after practice today that Tate was held out because of stiffness. His absence today was not related to the hit he took earlier in the week. Hopefully, he will be available for the joint practice with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday. That is valuable work for a rookie.

Keldrick Faulk left today's practice with a shoulder injury. Buck Reising said on 104.5 The Zone that it looked like they were trying to pop his shoulder back in:

Saleh said after practice that they were hopeful it was just a stinger. Like Tate, the reps against the Seahawks are important for Faulk. We will have to keep our fingers crossed that he will be able to be out there.
