    SUMMARY: Titans G Benji Olson has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Cincinnati due to a sore back. Coach Jeff Fisher said Olson "is not going to participate in this game or make the trip. We’re evaluating him. We’re just trying to let it settle down right now."
    The 10-year vet missed the game Monday against the Broncos and hasn't practiced this week. He will be replaced in the lineup by Eugene Amano, who started in place of Olson against the Broncos. DT Albert Haynesworth (hamstring) had limited reps in today's practice and remains a game-time decision. DE Travis LaBoy (concussion) isn't expected to play.

    LaBoy, as much as I like him, should not be retained as a FA... A DE with concussion issues is as good as dead as a player...

    First and foremost we need to address WR AND TE in the draft. But we really need to look forward to picking up Mawae and Olson's replacement. They're getting old and it gets hard to come back from injuries in their age. We also need to address DE. We still dont have a full time starter on the other side of KVB

    Agreed on DE. Neither LaBoy or Odom can stay healthy long enough to consistently help here, and this (along with Haynesworth's unpredictable health status) really makes KVB's life tough. Hate to say it with the year we have had until the past two weeks, but DL will need to be a focus in the offseason again, IMO.

    Yeah both those guys will probably get their shots as starters. We don't usually draft o-line high, but we've found some good ones anyway. I think we'll be fine with Amano, and hope the same is true with Harris.

    But we'll need backups, Olsen, Mawea, and even Bell may not be around much longer. They have Matua on the PS, but they'll need more. Maybe they go for a guy in the mid rounds. Eric Young from Tennessee may be a good mid rounder. He may slip due to his injury, and he's probably best suited as an OG.

    Im all for Harris. Im not a fan of Amano though. He didnt have a good game against a mediocre DL at Denver

    At first I thought he had a bad game, then watched it again and it wasn't really that bad. Besides he's played well in other games before this. They resigned him for 2 more years for a reason.
