Titans’ L'Jarius Sneed Provides Health Update Ahead of Training Camp
Denny Simmons / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images

All offseason, one of the biggest questions regarding the Titans' defense has centered around cornerback L'Jarius Sneed. The veteran corner, who was traded to the Titans last offseason and immediately agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million deal, hasn't quite panned out so far in his Titans career. He only played in five games last season before a quad injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. 

Sneed is still not cleared, as his quad injury has proven to be more serious than initially thought. He sat out for the entirety of the team’s offseason program, and even with coach Brian Callahan’s steadfast positivity, fans are starting to lose hope that Sneed will even be on the field to start this season. 

After speaking with KTAL news in Shreveport, Louisiana, however Sneed gave many Titans fans reason to be optimistic.

"I am healthy as I have been,” Sneed said. “Last year, my first year didn't go as planned. But it's time to come out and show the world what God has been instilling in me. I'm ready to get back on the field."

Those words should be magic to the ears of Titans fans. Sneed, if healthy, would provide a significant boost to the team’s cornerback room. Not only did he state that he was ready to get back on the field, but he also gave the fans a vote of confidence about himself during his time talking to the press.

"I have to remind everyone who L'Jarius Sneed is,” he said.

The Titans organization and fans are looking forward to Sneed showing everyone his abilities on the field this season. Although some are exercising caution, Sneed sounds like a man who has been listening to Roy Jones Jr. on repeat, preparing for his eventual clearance to return to the field and display his skills, all the while letting everyone know to never forget about him. It will be interesting to see if he can translate these words and confidence into physical action when he is cleared to return to the field.
