Tennessee Titans News

SEATTLE (AP) _ Defensive end Bryce Fisher, who had been benched by Seattle after starting for two seasons, has been traded to Tennessee. Fisher's agent, Peter Schaffer, confirmed the deal Tuesday. Fisher, a seven-year veteran, had been replaced as a starter with the faster Darryl Tapp, the Seahawks' second-round draft choice in 2006. He is the second former Seattle player the Titans have added since June under new general manager Mike Reinfeldt, who joined Tennessee after working as a ...

The Tennessee Titans are so close to making NFL history. No team has ever started 0-5 and earned a playoff berth. Sure, the Titans must beat the New England Patriots on Sunday in the regular season finale, combined with losses by Cincinnati, Jacksonville and Denver. Too much to overcome? In this season, maybe not. A playoff berth after starting 2-7 doesn't seem ridiculous when compared to some of the amazing ...

The Tennessee Titans are making extraordinary finishes routine. Trailing by 21 with 10 minutes left? Score 24 points and beat the New York Giants. Stuck at midfield against Peyton Manning and Indianapolis? Kick a game-winning 60-yard field goal _ something that had happened only twice before in NFL history. Struggle to take the lead in the fourth quarter only to watch the home team retake the momentum with a field ...

Vince Young scored on the Indianapolis Colts with his arm. He tore them apart with his legs. The Tennessee rookie scrambled nine times for 78 yards. Seven of those picked up first downs, and six came on third down. He looked for an open receiver, then didn't hesitate to take off if everyone was covered. And yes, he's proving just as elusive in the NFL as he was at the ...

Albert Haynesworth practised Wednesday and teammates welcomed his return to the Tennessee Titans after his five-week suspension by the NFL. ``I'm real glad, man,'' Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck said. ``I've been waiting for my enforcer to get back. We're about to go up to Philly and cause a lot of trouble this week.'' Haynesworth talked to his teammates early Wednesday morning and told them he was determined to help the ...

No Hollywood scriptwriter would have dared cram into one movie all the drama the Tennessee Titans have lived through this year. The franchise quarterback was locked out, then traded. His backup was also traded, then blasted by the coach for dissing the team as he left town. The starting running back asked to be traded, then lost his job. A five-game skid started the season. An Internet site called for ...

Vince Young took his time making sure his pinstripe suit was on just right. He even asked a member of the Tennessee Titans staff to straighten the turquoise tie with the lavender floral pattern. The rookie had finally won a game in the NFL, 25-22 over Washington on Sunday, and he wanted to look as good as he felt. ``It means a whole lot to me,'' the No. 3 overall ...

Titans tight end Erron Kinney was placed on injured reserve Friday because of an ailing right knee and will be out for the season. Kinney underwent a second knee operation after re-injuring his knee in training camp. He had a setback last week because of inflammation in the joint. The Titans also signed long snapper Jon Dorenbos, who will handle those duties this weekend in Washington when Tennessee (0-5) visits ...

So it's come to this for the Tennessee Titans: A franchise that can't count any wins this season has a moral victory. The Titans led one of the NFL's unbeaten teams for nearly 55 minutes Sunday before leaving Indianapolis with a 14-13 loss Sunday _ their fifth straight loss this season, eighth straight going back to last season and ninth consecutive on the road. ``We still didn't win it, and ...

The Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans played role reversal Sunday for a half. Then Peyton Manning finally performed like a two-time MVP. Manning led the Colts on a late scoring drive for the second straight week, hooking up with Reggie Wayne for a two-yard touchdown pass with 5:10 left and giving Indianapolis a 14-13 come-from-behind victory. For 3{ quarters, it appeared the winless Titans might pull off one of the most shocking upsets in the NFL this season. But ...

Marvin Harrison's first catch Sunday against the Tennessee Titans gave him a reception in his 159th consecutive game, an NFL record to start a career. Harrison broke the previous mark of 158 established by former Colts and St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk. Harrison broke Faulk's record with a three-yard reception with 11:33 left in the third quarter. In the last two weeks, Harrison moved from sixth on the career receptions list to fourth. He also entered ...

The Tennessee Titans want back some of Albert Haynesworth's bonus money. And that might be just the start of the paybacks. Coach Jeff Fisher told a national radio show Thursday that Haynesworth _ the defensive tackle suspended five games by the NFL for stomping on Dallas centre Andre Gurode's face _ may never be back in the building again. Team spokesman Robbie Bohren also said the Titans are investigating their options. ``We've moved on,'' Fisher said after practice ...

Albert Haynesworth won't face criminal charges for scraping his cleat across the unprotected face of Dallas centre Andre Gurode, and said Thursday he would seek counselling for his behaviour. But the six-foot-six, 320-pound Tennessee Titans defensive tackle could not answer the one question everyone wants answered: Why? ``It was a blur. It was a big, big mistake and something I wish I could do anything to take that back,'' said ...

Dallas Cowboys centre Andre Gurode won't seek criminal charges against Tennessee defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth for stomping on his head during a game. Gurode's blurry vision is clearing but the lineman still has headaches from last week's game in which Dallas beat Tennessee 45-14, Gurode's agent, Kennard McGuire, said Thursday. The centre has been talking with his family in the days since Haynesworth stepped on him with a cleated foot, ...

The winless Tennessee Titans held a players-only meeting Wednesday, encouraged each other and pledged to recommit themselves. The Titans need all the cooperation they can muster to survive the next five games without tackle Albert Haynesworth, arguably their second-best defensive player. It won't be easy. The Titans (0-4) ranked last in the NFL in yards rushing with the physical 6-foot-6, 320-pound Haynesworth. Now they must face the league's highest-scoring offence ...

The NFL Players Association will not appeal Albert Haynesworth's five-game suspension for stomping on the head of Dallas centre Andre Gurode. The Tennessee Titans defensive tackle was suspended Monday for kicking Gurode in the head twice in Sunday's 45-14 victory by the Cowboys. Haynesworth announced through his agent on Tuesday that he would not appeal the suspension. Upshaw discussed the suspension with Haynesworth and other people including NFL commissioner Roger ...

After dialing his number all day with no luck, Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth finally got the chance Tuesday to personally apologize to Andre Gurode for tearing open the Cowboys centre's face with a cleat. Haynesworth spent much of the day getting nothing but unanswered rings and a full voice mail box, then connected in the late afternoon with Gurode, who needed 30 stitches to repair the facial cuts. ``The ...

Albert Haynesworth wanted to say he's sorry. All he got was a lot of unanswered ringing and a voice mailbox that was full. Determined to apologize to the man whose face he tore open with his cleat, the Tennessee Titans defensive tackle spent Tuesday trying to reach Dallas centre Andre Gurode's cell phone, and his agent said he won't give up until he does. ``Albert will continue until he gets ...

Terry Glenn overshadowed teammate Terrell Owens and spoiled Vince Young's NFL debut in the same game Sunday. Glenn caught two touchdown passes to lead the Dallas Cowboys past the Tennessee Titans 45-14. Young, taken third in the 2006 NFL draft, made his first career start and looked very much like a rookie. He was sacked twice and intercepted twice as well, with Bradie James returning the second 15 yards for ...

Vince Young will make his first NFL start for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The No. 3 overall draft pick played in spot duty in each of the Titans' first two games, but the Titans are 0-3 and hope the quarterback who led the University of Texas to the U.S. college football national title in January can provide a spark to their offence. The Titans drafted ...
