Oct 15, 2014 11:52 PM

Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt is denying allegations that he threw a punch during a brawl at a nightclub last week. "We probably had some words throughout the time we were there, and probably the person that did touch him was probably with me, and he probably thought so, and now he's falsely accusing me. That's what happens in my life," Britt said of 26-year-old Harold Pointer. "I told the police. I'm telling the police, I'm telling you and everybody out there that's accusing me [and saying] that I touched him." Britt told Titans coach Jeff Fisher that he was trying to break up the fight between Pointer and 29-year-old Bradford Miser.

Kenny Britt Involved In Bar Fight

Sep 11, 2014 7:09 PM

Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt was involved in a bar fight that he says he tried to break up early Friday morning. Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher excused Britt from practice on Friday and is giving the young player the benefit of the doubt at this point. "My understanding at this point is that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. There was an altercation, but he was one of those that was trying to break it up. That's my understanding right now, and 'I'm still gathering facts," Fisher said. There is still a chance that Britt will be held out of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Titans To Prepare For Both Kolb And Vick

Jun 4, 2014 8:16 PM

Even though Kevin Kolb is the announced starter this week, the Titans will prepare defensively for Michael Vick as well. "It definitely creates some difficulties," nickel back Vincent Fuller said. "Kolb throws and he?s mobile in the pocket. He was named their starter because Andy Reid thought he had a good grasp of the system and he delivered the ball well. And then (Vick) ? you?ve seen the highlights of (Vick). Everyone knows what (Vick) can do."
