49ers and Titans Have Several Scuffles at Joint Practice
Purdy completed sharp throws and a potential 50-yard touchdown pass as three scuffles broke out in the first six plays, coaches said.
- On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, the San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans held a joint practice in Santa Clara, Calif., where four players were ejected for throwing punches during 11-on-11 drills.
- Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh visited his former team for the joint session, where players sought to establish physical dominance and create what one receiver called 'dog moments and those team fighting moments.'
- Once the on-field altercations subsided, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy showcased his layering skill with a 50-yard potential touchdown pass to rookie De'Zhaun Stribling and another throw into tight end Jake Tonges' hands.
- All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner intervened to calm his teammates, telling them, "We're trying to play football," after which the 49ers defense settled and made offensive execution difficult for the Titans.
- For the preseason opener on Thursday, August 13, Saleh confirmed that "everyone is playing" for the Titans, while the 49ers plan to use mostly backups to finalize their rosters.
