White

White has missed multiple practices with the injury and also contracted the flu. He’s expected to return to practice next week.

Coach Jeff Fisher called out Nickey for a “cheap shot” minutes later after practice Thursday, but apologized when he found out White spit on Nickey. “I assure you, it will not happen again,” Fisher said.

White’s body may not be ready for NFL life after an off-season of slowly rehabbing his hamstring. It’s early, but it wouldn’t be a shock if White struggled to stay healthy this season. Between White and Chris Brown missing time, Travis Henry may have something to do after all.

Coach Jeff Fisher says White, whose first practice with the team was Sunday, is in good physical condition. We don’t expect him to stay behind Henry for too long.

White isn’t exactly helping his immature reputation with this inconsistent training camp. Travis Henry, incidentally, reportedly ripped off multiple long runs during the same session.

White hasn’t been able to stay healthy since leaving USC this winter, but the Titans will reportedly hold him out as disciplinary action for spitting on S Donnie Nickey in practice Thursday. The incident led to a training camp brawl.

The Titans asked him to lose the weight, so it’s a good sign he’s finally in shape. He’ll spend the first part of camp trying to pass Travis Henry on the depth chart.

“I’ve got a personal trainer that I’ve been set up with, along with my friend Dominique Byrd and some guys from S.C. I’ll work out for the whole month, and hopefully come back and win a spot and get ready to play football games,” White said.

White, who had been limited to this point, is making progress in his rehab from the injury that cost him first-round status in the NFL draft. Coach Jeff Fisher expects to get White more reps next week.

White is still recovering from the hamstring tear that contributed in his fall to the second round on draft day. He hasn’t practiced yet.
