Titans

News: Johnson has been working hard with the Titans so far during the team's offseason program, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Offensive coordinator Chris Palmer has liked what he has been seeing out of Johnson during offseason team workouts. This is the first year that Johnson has decided to work with his teammates and not on his own time and with his own personal trainer.

News: Verner is the player likely to start at cornerback and play the inside slot position that was abandoned when Cortland Finnegan signed with the Rams, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Verner is going into his third season, and made three interceptions last season. If he plays the slot cornerback position, he will likely not see that number increase. He will be covering receivers in the middle of the field who are accepting shorter, safer passes. This will likely increase Verner's tackle totals and also allow him to get in the mix of forced and recovered fumbles that occur in the middle of the field.

News: The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with Thompson.
Impact: The Titans moved up 10 spots to pick Thompson as a tight end, even though he started 43 straight games as a defensive end at SMU. Thompson had 18 sacks and 139 tackles, but he is switching positions back to his high school position.

News: The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with Solomon.
Impact: Solomon played four years at defensive end at Rice with 24 career sacks.

News: Washington (knee) has been participating in Titans' OTAs just a month after having knee surgery to repair a chipped bone in his knee, The Tennessean reports.
Impact: It looks like Washington is going to be a full participant in the Titans' offseason activities. With the addition of rookie Kendall Wright, the Titans' are beginning to put together one of the better groups of receivers in the league.

News: Britt (torn ACL) had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Wednesday, the Tennesean's Jim Wyatt reports.
Impact: Early reports had Britt ahead of schedule in his recovery, but his status for Week 1 is very much up in the air. Although the procedure he underwent on Wednesday was a minor one, it is still not a good sign that he needed a follow-up surgery. We are still at least three months away from most fantasy drafts, but those of you who draft early will want to proceed with caution when it comes to Britt.

News: Wright displayed good hands and speed during rookie orientation. His biggest adjustment to playing professional football may be learning from a playbook.
Impact: Wright was drafted by the Titans in the first round, with the expectation that he could make an impact in his rookie season. With Kenny Britt coming off major knee surgery, and not much speed at the receiver position for the Titans, Wright will have an opportunity to show he is capable of being a productive receiver right from the start of the season. We would not expect him to start immediately, but look for him to possibly come in during most three receiver sets and third down situations.

News: Coach Mike Munchak acknowledged Sunday that Britt -- who is bouncing back from both a torn AC and MCL - might require a second procedure on his knee at some point, NFL.com reports.
Impact: While it's no lock that will be the case, even hinting at such a possibility suggests the wideout's knee remains a concern. "I think it always is (possible)," Munchak said of the possibility of another knee procedure for Britt. "I don't know if he will at some point, but I think that's something that's common with that injury." In any case, given Britt's status, it's completely justifiable that the Titans took fellow wideout Kendall Wright in April's draft.
