The Titans drafted wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham despite character questions from his college career because they believe he’s talented enough to boost their offense, but they’ll need to get him healthy and on the field consistently for that bet to pay off.
So far, Green-Beckham’s had a hard time pulling that off. Green-Beckham strained his hamstring at the team’s rookie minicamp earlier this month and missed last week’s workouts before returning to the field on Tuesday. His return was a brief one, however, as Green-Beckham again tweaked the hamstring and left the field.
“He felt a little pull,” Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said, via the Tennessean. “You walk that line of saying, `OK, get back in there.’ But if you pull it, you lose him for all the OTAs. You don’t want him missing any more time because you want him in there. We pulled him, but I think he’ll be all right.”
Green-Beckham will definitely miss Thursday’s workout as he’s going to be part of the NFLPA’s Rookie Premier in Los Angeles and precaution likely dictates he’ll sit out Wednesday’s session as well. Defensive tackle Sammie Hill could be on the shelf as well after he hurt his knee on Tuesday. Hill said he’ll likely have an MRI to determine the extent of damage.
