Welcome to the Tennessee Titans Training Camp Roundup, your weekly dive into the best, worst and most interesting developments from Titans football practices. Today we talk Week 1 winners and losers, share a few stats from the first three training camp sessions, take a look at some stats and make a few predictions about what to expect next week. Enjoy!

Tennessee Titans training camp Week 1 winners and losers

Winner — The passing attack: So far, so good for quarterback Will Levis and company. Obviously things will change when the pads come on, but the passing operation looked smooth, and this was in a week where DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley didn't get super involved with such an emphasis on the short stuff.

Loser — The O-line "rotation": Again, no pads yet. But for a unit where the expectation is five or six players could be competing for the right guard and right tackle jobs, only two have taken significant reps so far. We'll see how things change when Nicholas Petit-Frere gets healthy, but the starters haven't exactly rotated in team drills yet.

Winner — Tre Avery: Avery's the main beneficiary of Chidobe Awuzie's calf injury, and he hasn't looked half bad yet. He's shown a willingness to get up-close and aggressive with receivers in press and is the only defender to intercept Levis in team practices this preseason.

Winner — The starting ILBs: The distance between the Titans' No. 1 and No. 9 inside linebackers seemingly wasn't that large heading into camp. Kenneth Murray II and Jack Gibbens have done a solid job of distancing themselves from the pack, though. It's going to take some huge performances in the coming week for any of the other seven ILBs to steal starting time.

Loser — The backup OLBs: Harold Landry III hasn't practiced yet, but that's hardly yielded any significant playing time for the Titans' down-roster edge rushers. Rashad Weaver's mostly stepped in as Landry's replacement and veteran Shane Ray was signed to take opportunities from Jaylen Harrell, Thomas Rush and Caleb Murphy. Preseason games will be huge for that young trio to flash and potentially claw back into roster contention.

Tennessee Titans stats: Let's look at the pass catchers

The 7-on-7 and team scrimmage sessions are the main attraction of practice this time of year. Let's lean into it. Here's The Tennessean's running log of which players caught passes in those periods across the first three practices:

• 8 catches: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

• 7 catches: Tyler Boyd, Josh Whyle

• 6 catches: Chig Okonkwo

• 5 catches: Tyjae Spears, Mason Kinsey

• 4 catches: DeAndre Hopkins

• 3 catches: Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Kyle Philips, Tre'Shaun Harrison, Bryce Oliver, Nick Vannett, Thomas Odukoya

• 2 catches: Treylon Burks, Kearis Jackson, David Martin-Robinson

• 1 catch: Hassan Haskins, Jha'Quan Jackson, Sam Schnee, Jabari Small, Julius Chestnut, Steven Stilianos

Titans quotes of the week

"Will, next year if we do it, can we go to a cheaper one?" — Ridley, talking about the trip to Cabo that Levis organized for Titans skill players.

"I feel like this is my winning season." — Rookie defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat on his confidence heading into Year 1 with the Titans.

"I think this is the happiest I've been in any organization, so I'll just let that speak for itself." — Hopkins, sharing his thoughts on the Titans heading into a contract year.

"It's not going to be one of those pissing matches, if you will." — General manager Ran Carthon talking about how he and coach Brian Callahan will handle roster decisions throughout training camp.

Titans predictions, training camp Week 2

Expect a big week from ... Ridley. The offense is going to open up more, meaning more vertical routes. This will be Ridley's chance to show why the Titans invested so much in him, and Levis' chance to uncork some deep balls his way.

Get used to hearing about ... Jarvis Brownlee Jr. Avery's status as the veteran made him the obvious candidate for extra reps in Week 1. But Brownlee makes sense as a rookie who'll get opportunities outside and in the slot. This feels like a week those reps could come.

A huge talking point will be ... kickoff return combinations. The Titans didn't show any kick return practice. That install has to happen eventually, and it'll be fascinating to see how offensive contributors like Spears, Pollard and Burks factor in with the new return rules.

ESSENTIAL READING: L'Jarius Sneed was Titans' prized offseason addition. So why isn't he practicing daily?

Tennessee Titans schedule: Training camp Week 2
