NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans were back on the grass for a full practice on Friday morning at St. Thomas Sports Park after having a walk-through day on Thursday; Temperatures reached the 90s with a smothering humidity by the time the session ended at 11:15 local time. 

 As for some on-the-field events, here are a few tidbits from the fourth day of practice. 

DeAndre Hopkins: The newest Titans offensive weapon, who, according to head coach Mike Vrabel would likely be absent (planned previously and excused), but was on the field and made a jaw-dropping, fully extended catch of a high Ryan Tannehill pass and stuck the landing with both feet appearing to touch down in bounds on the sideline.      

Only One Kicker Today: Trey Wolff got his day alone and was very good again, connecting on 6-of-7 attempts. The lone miss was a donk off the left upright from 46 yards. Caleb Shudak was at practice and did participate in the kickers-only drills away from the team but did not attempt a field goal during the teams' portion.  

Tyreque Jones: The former Boise State Bronco snagged his first interception of camp, stepping in front of a Will Levis pass and then turning in a solid return. Jones is among the young players vying to back up Kevin Byard and Amani Hooker at safety this season. You can read more about the safety competition and Jones here.

Arden Key: It's apparent that Key is a light-hearted, fun-loving, crazy personality. Derrick Henry said as much during his time at the podium following practice. Henry, who was addressing the media when Key walked past and yelled, "Stop lying," to Henry, thus drawing the response "He's crazy" from Henry. 

Oh, and by the way, Key dominated the practice today defensively. He was constantly in the face of the quarterbacks and would have been credited with some seven sacks if it were a real game. 

Kearis Jackson: The former Georgia Bulldo, who joined the Titans as an undrafted rookie this season, has some shake. He used that shake during the teams' session to turn around Kevin Byard and made a reception at the sideline against the Pro Bowl safety.  

Harold Landry: It didn't count as a sack at that moment, as play continued, but Landry looked like his old self off the edge on Friday as he sped past Andre Dillard during the teams' portion.  However, Dillard shouldn't feel bad, as Landry could do the same thing to others during the practice.   

Chris Hubbard: The newest Titan, who, according to Vrabel, signed his contract at 7 a.m. this morning, got to the equipment room for his practice equipment and was on the field for the entire session. He is wearing No. 66 and, as expected, was at the back of the line among the players rotating in at right tackle as he works to get up to speed. 

Jamarco Jones: Speaking of right tackle candidate, Jones did not practice on Friday, with no reason given.  

And finally, a new category began in the media room following today's session. It's a measure of the mood of the head coach.

Mike Vrabel Mood Index Day One: 4-10, or somewhat Angry 

While Vrabel shared some excellent information, his mood was not as upbeat as it had been the two previous days we were present.
