Dillard (shoulder) returned to practice Sunday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The Packers are holding a full practice Sunday with their regular-season opener against Philadelphia taking place Friday. Dillard's ability to suit up for the Sunday session suggests that he is past the shoulder injury that kept him out of the team's preseason finale versus Baltimore last Saturday.
Dillard did not participate in Tuesday's practice session due to a shoulder injury, Matt reports. Dillard started at left tackle and played 14 snaps in Sunday's preseason game against the Broncos. He may have picked up the shoulder injury during the contest, and if he isn't able to recover enough during the week, he could be held out of the Packers' preseason finale against the Ravens on Saturday. The 2019 first-round tackle is competing for a depth spot behind presumptive starters Rasheed Walker and Zach Tom.
The Packers signed Dillard on Thursday. After one year in Tennessee, the 2019 first-round pick has agreed to terms with the Packers. Dillard has appeared in 59 games across his NFL career, tallying 19 total starts. He's expected to compete for a depth role on Green Bay's offensive line over the course of the offseason.
The Titans released Dillard on Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports. Dillard agreed to a three-year, $29 million contract with the Titans last offseason, but the team has now decided to move on from the 28-year-old offensive lineman. The 2019 first-round pick has appeared in 59 games throughout his five-year NFL career, starting in 19 of those outings.
Dillard was able to log a full week of practice after missing Tennessee's Week 11 contest, and it now seems as if he's been able to move past his concussion. The 2019 first-round pick has made nine appearances for the Titans thus far, starting in eight of those games.
Dillard was forced out of Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay early with what is now known was a concussion. Most players who have gone into concussion protocol so far in 2023 have ended up sitting out at least one game, but Tennessee's injury reports during the week will provide more information on that front.
