Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson left a joint practice with the Chicago Bears on Wednesday to be evaluated for a concussion after a helmet-to-helmet hit from former Titans safety Xavier Woods. CBS Sports reported that Robinson walked off the field under his own power, though the hit sparked a brief on-field skirmish between the two teams.
Robinson's potential concussion could impact the Titans' receiving corps ahead of Week 1. The 26-year-old joined Tennessee this offseason after four seasons with the New York Giants and aims for a 1,000-yard season. If sidelined, he would join Calvin Ridley and rookie Carnell Tate on the injury report.
Woods Hit Sparks Heated Exchange on Field
Xavier Woods, who played for the Titans last season before being released, delivered what ABC7 Chicago described as a "cheap" hit during the joint practice. The helmet-to-helmet contact sent Robinson down and drew the ire of Tennessee's sideline, leading to tension between the two teams.
Titans coach Robert Saleh called the hit "cheap," signaling his frustration with the contact. Despite the hard blow, Robinson was able to leave the field on his own, a positive sign for the receiving corps.
Concussion Protocol Timeline Before Week 1
Robinson must now undergo concussion protocol testing to determine his eligibility for Week 1. WSAU noted he was sent to the medical tent immediately after the hit for evaluation. If he tests positive for a concussion, he would enter a multi-day recovery protocol before potential clearance.
Quarterback Cam Ward expressed optimism after practice, saying Robinson is "good." The WR has logged 185 catches over his past two seasons, making him a key piece of Tennessee's passing attack if healthy.
Receiving Corps Depth Already Tested This Preseason
The Titans entered the offseason expecting Robinson, Calvin Ridley, and rookie Carnell Tate to form an elite receiving trio. A concussion diagnosis would test Tennessee's roster depth as the team prepares for the regular season opener.
Robinson signed a free-agent deal with the Titans in March after four years in New York. The Kentucky alum brings proven production but must first clear the league's concussion protocols before he can practice again.
