Thursday's Heads Up Football news:
- The Tennessean reported that many of the Tennessee Titans would allow their sons to play football. One reason, some said, was because of the Heads Up Football program.
Former Titans safety Blaine Bishop is serving as an Ambassador in the Nashville area for USA Football's Heads Up Program, which is trying to take the head out of the game.
- Pop Warner reported a 9.5 percent drop in participation this season, according to ESPN. Pop Warner's chief medical officer, Dr. Julian Bailes, cited fear of head injuries as the main reason.
