Patriots vs. Titans Preseason: TV, Betting Odds, Zeke Debut?
In this story:
The New England Patriots travel to Nashville Friday night to take on the Tennessee Titans in the final preseason game for both teams.
The Patriots are fresh off their 21-17 win over Green Bay at Lambeau Field last week. Quarterback Bailey Zappe saw the majority of snaps and competed 10 of 23 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown. Mac Jones saw limited action and went 6 for 9 for 52 yards and no touchdowns.
Because of injuries along the offensive line, the Pats are considering not playing Jones against the Titans and instead saving him for the Sept. 10 regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
This game will likely be the Patriots' debut of running back Ezekiel Elliott, signed last week as a free agent after an illustrious career with the Dallas Cowboys.
Against Green Bay, Kevin Harris led all rushers with 31 yards on 10 carries, while Kayshon Boutte had two catches for 49 yards and a touchdown pass from Zappe.
The Titans beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-16 last weekend as quarterback Malik Willis rushed for 91 yards and threw a touchdown pass. Rookie running back Tyjae Spears had a 33-yard touchdown run and Julius Chestnut rushed for 98 yards as Derrick Henry sat on the sidelines.
The Patriots and Titans were scheduled to have joint practices this week, but they were canceled in the wake of Isaiah Bolden's scary injury last Saturday night in Green Bay.
