NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Drew Brees will be watching from the sideline for the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. Vince Young? He may play into the third quarter for the Tennessee Titans. Welcome to the NFL's final preseason game where timing is everything, and the clock already has started ticking toward the Saints' regular season opener on Sept. 9. That's why New Orleans coach Sean Payton will be protecting his key starters by keeping them off the field Thursday night when the Saints (2-1 |

He's started at defensive tackle for the Titans in each of the last three years, missing only two regular-season games. The 29-year-old Brown registered 61 tackles and recorded a career-best five sacks in 15 starts during the |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - After another ugly preseason loss, the Tennessee Titans have this to console themselves: They didn't bother game-planning for this one. Vince Young was sacked four times in two quarters and the Titans offense was unable to move the ball. The best thing from the Titans' 15-7 loss at Carolina on Saturday night? Their defense. A woeful unit in 2009 gave up an average of 25.1 points, but showed plenty of promise Saturday with top draft pick Derrick Morgan finally making his NFL debu |

The Panthers have a whopping 18 sacks in three preseason games and have nearly completely shut down the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans the last two weeks. The offense, meanwhile, has been downright unwatchable. Bring back Jake Delhomme? The Panthers still haven't scored an offensive touchdown and appear further away from identifying a No. 2 receiver than when training camp starte |

Asiodu are currently competing for spots on NFL rosters, and another victim of a weightlifting mishap - Stafon Johnson from Southern Cal - got to play for the Tennessee Titans this preseason before he was injured again. ``I think the kid has a lot of heart, a lot of grit.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans are breaking training camp with a bit of good news. Their top pick actually practiced with the team for the first time since being drafted. Defensive end Derrick Morgan missed most of the offseason, first with a strained hamstring, then a pulled left calf. The 16th pick overall then pulled that same calf early in his first practice of training camp on Aug. 1. He went out a little early for a few snaps against offensive linemen, then went through a session that w |

NEW YORK (AP) - Tennessee Titans backup quarterback Chris Simms needs to add a new date to his 2010 season: an October trial in his New York City drugged-driving case. Simms didn't make it to court Monday in the case. He's in the midst of Titans training in Nashville. A Manhattan judge agreed to excuse him but said he needs to be there Oct. 7 for a hearing and trial. Police say Simms slurred his words and told them he'd been smoking marijuana before he was stopped at a checkpoint July 1. The 29-year-old |
