NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans will go back to going against one another during the final week of training camp after the New England Patriots canceled a pair of joint practices that were set to take place in Nashville.

Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Sunday that the Patriots informed them late Saturday night about the change in plans after cornerback Isaiah Bolden was carted off the field with an injury in the fourth quarter of New England’s exhibition game with the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers and Patriots agreed to end the game at that point, with 10:29 left on the clock. Bolden was released from a hospital Sunday and flew home with the Patriots.

Vrabel said the Titans wish Bolden well in his recovery and he understood the Patriots’ decision to work by themselves this week. Vrabel said he would have loved for his team to practice against New England as scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the former Patriots linebacker added that he is aware “that things come up.”

“We’re always able to adjust and adapt,” Vrabel added, “and we’ll practice and we’ll get work in and and we’ll see where we are here at the end of the week on Friday.”
