The Tennessean reports that six months after surgery for a broken ankle Roydell Williams “still isn’t practicing. He’s still hurting. His sights are set on training camp, but with the notion he’s going to have to play in pain.” Full story here.

Monster Take: Williams was in position to have a good 2008 after building some momentum in 2007. Now, Justin McCareins appears to have the inside track to win the starting job.

The AP reports that LenDale White played the 2007 season with a torn meniscus. Said White, “This happened last year in preseason. I tore my meniscus. I played on it all season. Contrary to what people believe, I am a soldier. I played on it all year and I didn’t complain, not once. I waited until the season was over to get it fixed and now I’m feeling good.” Full story here.

Monster Take: In 2007, White rushed for 1,110 yards and 7 TD’s. That was better than most expected at the season’s outset even without knowledge of his injury. This year the Titans look to mix it up a little by adding first round selection, Chris Johnson - the fastest player to run at the NFL combine. White should still see the bulk of the carries.

The AP reports that “Tennessee Titans running back LenDale White has been cited with destruction of property, disobedience to a lawful order/interference and resistance.” Full article here.

Monster Take: White is coming off a productive 2007 season with 1,110 rushing yards and 7 TD’s and is positioned to build upon those stats in 2008. Unfortunately he seems to put himself in bad situations. Last season he arrived at camp out of shape and some questioned his dedication. We’re thinking that this will blow over with little consequence. His conditioning upon arrival at camp this year will say a lot.
