Kenny Britt has received a one-game suspension from the NFL.

Britt was arrested twice in the offseason, once in June for resisting arrest in New Jersey and on a DUI charge in July in Kentucky.

Britt was outstanding during the first two games of 2011 before tearing his ACL and MCL in Week 3.

The Atlanta Falcons, San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens have the three oldest collections of starters in the NFL. 

The Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals are the youngest.

Former Vikings head coach Bud Grant had a popular saying that "for every young guy you start, you lose a game."

Pete Carroll worked for Grant early in his coaching career, but has had one of the youngest teams in the NFL during his tenure with the Seahawks.

"I was of that mindset in classic fashion until I had to be in charge of calling all the shots and then it just flipped in me that we don't know where we're going unless we find these guys out," Carroll said. "One of the really exciting things about playing guys early is ... by the middle and to the end of the season, you’ve developed players that fit into your rotations now that add to your depth and also add to the opportunity to not over-play your older guys." 

Below is a full list with the rank in offense/defense in parenthesis.

1. Atlanta Falcons (2/5)
2. San Diego Chargers (7/3)

The Tennessee Titans have activated Kenny Britt from the PUP list, allowing him to begin practice with the team next week.

The NFL is expected to suspend Britt.

Britt tore his right ACL last September after a fast start to 2011.

It was twenty years before Joe Theismann watched a replay of his gruesome leg injury and he has some advice for Tennessee return man Mike Mariani.

Mariani suffered a compound fracture in his left leg when his tibia and fibula snapped near the calf as he went down at the end of a return on Thursday night.

Theismann was quarterback for the Redskins in 1985 when Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor's sack resulted in a similar compound fracture.

"I didn't care to see it, and when I finally looked at it after all those years, I got a little nauseous, a little squeamish," Theismann said. "I saw it once and I said, 'That's it; I don't need to see it again.' But you look at it on YouTube and it's had over 2.5 million hits. ... People are fascinated by stuff like that.

"It's not easy if you're the player," he added. "The emotional thing is the toughest. But (Mariani) is a young guy, and he will be back. It is a process, and the rehabilitation is tough, there's no denying it. The good news is he got hurt early this year, and at a young age. And he knows the level he can get to because he's been a Pro Bowler. He'll be back."

The Titans expect to be without Kenny Britt to begin the season, but the length of the wide receiver's suspension remains to be seen.

Britt's case remains under review and it's uncertain when it will be over.

"There are no specific timelines for these cases," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. "Each one is unique. When it's done, it's done and we announce something (or not)."

Britt is expected to get a short suspension after his recent arrest for DUI.

The Bears have the best uniforms in the NFL, according to Paul Lukas of Uni Watch.

"True, the helmet design is starting to look a tad dated," writes Lukas. "But the striped sleeves, striped socks (now a rarity in the NFL, alas), unique number font, and even the perma-memorial to Papa Bear all score major points, and the Bears may be the only team in the league who look as sharp on the road as they do at home. The cream of the NFL crop."

The Packers, Steelers, Raiders and Eagles round out the top-five.

"Just suit up, baby," writes Lukas about the Raiders. "Silver and black look just as good today as they did when Al Davis came up with them. There's probably some marketer out there who wants the team to dress up like the fans in the Black Hole (and hey, that actually could be fun as a one-off thing), but you don't mess with something this elemental. Also: The Raiders are among the few NFL teams that wisely have declined to adopt the new Nike collar format."

Marc Mariani suffered a broken leg on a punt return in the first quarter of the Titans' preseason game on Thursday against the Cardinals.

Mariani will miss the entire 2012 season with the injury.

Mariani was immediately tended to on the field by trainers, who put his leg in an air cast. Mariani was taken off the field on a cart.

Jason McCourty has signed a five-year extension with the Titans that runs through 2017.

McCourty's deal has $43 million in new money with $20 million in guarantees and bonuses.

McCourty was a sixth round pick in 2009 out of Rutgers.

McCourty began starting at cornerback in 2011.

The Titans have released Shaun Smith.

Smith was a bad fit for Tennessee's 4-3 scheme and the team has substantial depth at defensive tackle.
