Cartwright partnered with Kane Elgey in the halves throughout the session in preparation for the Warriors clash on Saturday.
“I think he’s got a little heartilage problem,” Titans prop Jai Arrow said of Taylor.
“It’s one game in and he’s already sooking.
“I’m sure he will be all right. The coach is just resting him to get him fresh for the captain’s run.”
Centre Konrad Hurrell also sat out the session, however he and Taylor are expected to take their places against the Warriors.
The Titans will fly to New Zealand on Thursday.
