Titans running back Chris Johnson skipped practice on Wednesday because of sore ribs. Johnson said he would practice Thursday and expects to face the Broncos on Sunday. The belief is that Johnson needs as much practice as possible to get on the same page as his lineman after a length training camp holdout. "I am just a little sore," he said. "I got a lot of mental reps. I'll be OK. ... I am anxious to get back on the field and play games." After missing training camp and all four preseason games because of a contract holdout, Johnson is averaging just 2.3 yards per carry through two games.
