NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jeff Fisher already had practice scheduled for under the lights. The Tennessee Titans coach’s timing couldn’t have been much better.

The temperature in Nashville hit 101 degrees, and the field hit more than 120 degrees when gauged Wednesday afternoon. By the time the Titans hit the field at night, it had cooled off to a balmy 98.

The Titans worked in full pads for the first time in training camp. They also had the help from NFL officials, including referee Ed Hochuli. The officials will be with the Titans through Saturday.

Tennessee kicker Rob Bironas helped put on a bit of a show for the biggest crowd yet at camp. He kicked three footballs onto the roof of the team’s headquarters.
