Titans WR Kendall Wright Sheds 14 Pounds By Ditching Junk Food
With organized team activities underway in Tennessee, the Titans have welcomed back a leaner, meaner Kendall Wright.
The second-year wide receiver says he's dropped 14 pounds this offseason through one simple trick: Laying off the junk food.
"I'm in the best shape I've ever been," Wright told the team's official site.
"For the most part, it...
Tennessee Titans Kendall Wright slims down after dumping junk food
The Tennessee Titans drafted wide receiver Kendall Wright in the first round of the 2012 draft.
The wideout was fresh out of Baylor as RG3′s favorite target and ready to make a direct impact on the NFL. His 64 catches for 626 yards and four scores were hardly the numbers of a bust. But they were not set the world on fire stats either.
To combat the plague of the perception that...
Fantasy Impact: Justin Hunter
Staying at home Juan…
This pick made me think that Kenny Britt can not be trusted by the Titans to stay healthy or stay out of trouble. Justin Hunter has good size at 6’4, good route running ability, and speed 4.49 40, but he has some red flags to be aware of as he enters his rookie season. Hunter has a real issue holding onto the ball in college and will have to really work...

Breaking down the Titans' pre-draft visits and workouts
Before the Tennessee Titans spend a high draft pick on a player, the chances are very, very good they either brought him to Baptist Sports Park for a visit or worked him out at his college. When I did a version of this post last year, first-round pick Kendall Wright, second-round pick Zach Brown, and third-round pick Mike Martin were among the players I noted. Among the players...
Titans draft preview by position: Offense
It's draft week.
As I did last year, I thought I would take a look at which positions the Titans are likely to draft and which positions the Titans are not likely to draft. This series proved mostly successful last year, as with one exception the Titans drafted a player at every position I thought there was a significant likelihood of drafting a player and did not draft a...

2013 Tennessee Titans offseason positional analysis: WR
We continue our look around the Tennessee Titans position by position as we head into the 2013 offseason with a look at the wide receiver position.
When I wrote the positional analysis during the 2012 preseason, I started with a joke, that the Titans receiving corps would be about as good as it was in 2011. I wasn't that impressed with the group in 2011, aside from Kenny...
Herman Edwards says Titans should cut Kenny Britt
The Tennessee Titans must really be desperate for receivers. The team currently employs Nate Washington and Kendall Wright and the troubled Kenny Britt. A corps to build on, but Britt shouldn't be there.
Britt has had nine brushes with the law since being drafted by the Titans in the first round in 2009. That would include his latest where he took a friend, who had been stabbed...
How the Titans targeted their receivers in 2012
Selecting Kendall Wright in the first round of last April's NFL draft gave the Tennessee Titans a problem. It was probably a good problem to have, but it was still a problem. Between the acquisition of Wright and Kenny Britt's return from injury, the Titans were adding two potential very big pieces to the passing game at the same time they were returning almost every player...

Titans WR Kendall Wright Says He's Ready To Return To Lineup From Cracked Ribs
Titans receiver Kendall Wright says hed never missed a game in any sport in high school, college or the pros before last Sunday, when he sat out the Titans contest in Green Bay because of a cracked rib.

'Disconnect' With Titan Players Helped Seal Chris Palmer's Fate
One reason Chris Palmer is out as the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator has to do with his players not always being 100 percent sold on him, according to TitanInsider.
Citing sources, the players and perhaps even some assistant coaches felt a disconnect with Palmer and his offense.
Ultimately, the end result on the field was what did Palmer in, and the Titans rank 24th in...
Titans fire Palmer, promote Loggains
The other shoe dropped for the Tennessee Titans just one day after their 24-19 loss to the woeful Jacksonville Jaguars dropped them to 4-7 and out of playoff contention Sunday. On Monday, the Titans fired veteran offensive coordinator Chris Palmer and replaced him with quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains.Palmer had promised that the Titans' offense would have an explosive look...

Bills need big win
A win, at home, would be big for Buffalo heading into a bye week, and it’s more than feasible. I know, I know, every preview post is laden with this cautious optimism, but that’s because I honestly go into every game Billieving this team can win.
Take note:
This week, Bruce Smith said the current d-line is the most talented, ever. No. 1, anything Smith says I’m going to automatically...
Kendall Wright has more success with Hasselbeck at quarterback
Last week, Kendall Wright caught nine passes for 66 yards in the Titans’ Week 5 loss to the Vikings. Wright was targeted a team-high 11 times by Matt Hasselbeck and was clearly the lone bright spot for Tennessee on Sunday. Hasselbeck kept working the ball to the rookie on slants and quick-hitters throughout the game, as that was the only type of pass the quarterback could complete...
INJURY SPIN: Locker Already Ruled Out for Thursday Night…
It will be Matt Hasselbeck again for the Titans as Jake Locker is ruled out while still recovering from a separated shoulder. Not good news if you own a Titans WR. Hasselbeck is a shadow of his old self and has failed to put together drives outside of trash time. Kendall Wright appears to be his favorite target. Over the past two weeks Wright has been targeted 18 times, has 9...
