Nicholas Petit-Frere has taken the first step toward trying to claim the Tennessee Titans’ starting right tackle position. Petit-Frere returned to the practice field on Saturday. The 2022 third-round draft pick suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last Nov. 2 against Pittsburgh. Then he injured a knee during offseason workouts.

“I’m must blessed to be here. Literally, I hadn’t put on pads or a helmet since . I had my injury to my shoulder and then to my knee, so I hadn’t been able to put on a helmet until today,” Petit-Frere said. Petit-Frere, a third-round pick out of Ohio State in 2022, suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last Nov. 2 against Pittsburgh.
He had surgery and was ready to return when the Titans began their offseason program in the spring, but he then suffered a knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery.“It’s been a long time coming for me to get out here and get a chance to play again, and for me to get a chance to show again what I can do and what I can become,” Petit-Frere said.
Petit-Frere wasted no time in jumping to the front of the line in the competition at right tackle, although Jaelyn Duncan and John Ojukwu also got some first-team snaps.CeeDee Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys remain in contact amid holdout, Jerry Jones says“He’s cleared and full go. It’s just a matter of working him back into shape with the pads on,” coach Brian Callahan said.“I’m a little gassed, but it’s going to come with more reps, more chances, more opportunities.
