NASHVILLE, Tenn. – 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 was more a walkthrough Thursday.

“It felt good just to get some actual real football work in as opposed to just kind of running and conditioning,” Morgan said. “It felt real good to be out there with teammates and in the swing of things.”
