NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans are breaking training camp with a bit of good news. Their top pick actually practiced with the team for the first time since being drafted.

Defensive end Derrick Morgan missed most of the offseason, first with a strained hamstring, then a pulled left calf. The 16th pick overall then pulled that same calf early in his first practice of training camp on Aug. 1. He went out a little early for a few snaps against offensive linemen, then went through a session that w

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Well, this will either be very awkward or really exciting.

The Arizona Cardinals, eager to avoid a quick trip home on an already short week, are sticking around Music City for a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans.

Yes, against the very same team that just beat the Cardinals 24-10 Monday night in a preseason game.

Both teams rested Tuesday with the Cardinals getting the chance for sightseeing if they wanted. Then they hit the field together Wednesday afternoon at the Titans

NEW YORK (AP) - Tennessee Titans backup quarterback Chris Simms needs to add a new date to his 2010 season: an October trial in his New York City drugged-driving case.

Simms didn't make it to court Monday in the case. He's in the midst of Titans training in Nashville. A Manhattan judge agreed to excuse him but said he needs to be there Oct. 7 for a hearing and trial.

Police say Simms slurred his words and told them he'd been smoking marijuana before he was stopped at a checkpoint July 1. The 29-year-old

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -At least this time, Matt Leinart knows he'll be starting for Arizona against Vince Young's Tennessee Titans.

The NFL script hasn't gone the way many expected for either of the top two quarterbacks drafted in 2006. Leinart found himself backing up Kurt Warner since 2008 and now has the starting job back with the veteran's retirement. Young was on the bench himself last year until the Titans' 0-6 start pushed him back onto the field.

The two former collegiate superstars go against ea

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Usually when a running back makes NFL history the way Chris Johnson did for the Tennessee Titans last season, his blockers get some attention.

Not here.

Sure, left tackle Michael Roos and center Kevin Mawae were first alternates in Pro Bowl voting, and Mawae did get to the game after someone withdrew. But that was it.

Now Johnson is back looking to become the first player in the NFL to string together 2,000-yard seasons, and the line in front of him is a little bit different. The

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -No unit on the Tennessee Titans has seen more changes, or gone through more turmoil, than the linebacking corps this year.

And the changes aren't over yet.

One starter from last year is now with the New York Giants. Another is recovering from shoulder surgery and a hip problem and still on the physically unable to perform list. There's the new veteran starter, learning the nuances of the Titans' defense, and a potential starter who will be sitting out the first four games under a l

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -This punch won't be so costly for LeGarrette Blount.

The rookie running back capped off a feisty night practice for the Tennessee Titans with a short punch to the helmet of defensive end Erik Bakhtiari a few moments after having his helmet ripped off.

Blount had just returned to the Titans on Wednesday night after being excused since Sunday for personal reasons. He was carrying the ball in a drill near the goal line when his helmet came off, and he kept his feet moving toward the e

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -A free-spirited Vince Young finally seems comfortable in his own skin.

The Tennessee Titans quarterback is coming off a year in which he revived his career, coming off the bench to post an 8-2 record and his best passer rating yet.

Life is good.

So good that one day after a drill, he felt like showing off his basketball form, rising into the air like he was shooting a jump shot. The football rolled off his hands, then swat! A teammate batted it down. Young made sure defensive end
