NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -A former Tennessee Titans player claims the team failed to tell him about a defect in his knee that led to injury and eventually ended his career. Former wide receiver David Givens makes the claims in a lawsuit filed Tuesday. Givens claims a doctor discovered a defect in his knee during a physical around the time his contract was being negotiated in March 2006. He claims the examining doctor told team officials he ``may need surgery at some point.'' But Givens claims he was ``kep |

Predictably, the win over the hated Patriots has boosted the hopes of Gang Green nation into the stratosphere, but Ryan and the Jets will have their biggest challenge to date on Sunday, when they face a desperate Tennessee Titans team that comes off a pair of three-point losses. If the Jets fail to put the emotion of last week's watershed victory behind them quickly, they won't be undefeated much longer, something that Ryan noted when discussing Tennessee.

| (MySportsbook) - When the calendar still reads September, and your team is already within sight of its entire total of losses from the year before, things are bound to get a bit tense. That is the situation currently confronting the Tennessee Titans, who after finishing an NFL-best 13-3 a season ago, have begun their 2009 campaign with bitter losses to the Steelers (13-10 in overtime) and Texans (34-31). This past Sunday's defeat, which came in Tennessee's home opener and on 10 days rest, was particularly ga |

Because of the injury, Alge Crumpler is expected to step in and start for Scaife. Crumpler caught two passes for five yards against the Steelers. The injury to Scaife could also open u |

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Steve Slaton, consider yourself warned. The Tennessee Titans do not like allowing 100-yard rushers - ever. After watching Slaton do it against them twice in 2008, the Houston running back has a very big target on his back now. It's a matter of pride. ``That wasn't good, especially as good as our defense was last year ... stopping the run,'' Titans defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch said Wednesday. ``We know what type of challenge we have. It is a pride thing, and I don't know how many |

And while Tomlin's response was to dismiss the '06 season as a thing of the past, something that had nothing to do with the '09 squad, Thursday's season-opening 13-10 overtime win over the Tennessee Titans probably could have gone a little smoother. In front of the largest regular-season crowd ever at Heinz Field -- 65,110 gold and black wearing fans -- Roethlisberger had to orchestrate his 18th come-from-behind-victory since 2004.
