The Titans didn’t let wide receiver Kenny Britt participate in the team’s last set of practices because he admittedly was out of shape.
They wanted to keep him healthy and perhaps send a message. If that was the intent, consider the message received.
“It definitely is a wake-up call,’' Britt told Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. “You come in and you think you are going to practice and you tape up and you are ready to go out there and coaches are like, ‘Take it easy.’”
Britt has the talent to be a dominant force for the Titans, but there have been whispers about his maturity well before this latest incident.
He’s been cleared to practice and now just wants to avoid pulling his hamstring, like last year.
“That’s something we don’t want to do again, where I sit out because of injury and get fat . . . and have to drop weight again.”
