NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Friday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park to continue preparations for Sunday's game vs the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Here's a look at the developments from the day:
-Starting center Lloyd Cushenberry has been ruled out for Sunday's game.
Veteran Corey Levin is the next man up, and he's ready.
"That is why they brought me here, to be someone that can fill in when they need me," said Levin, who has played in all 11 games this season for the Titans. "So it's always next man up mentality. We are working every day to work together well as a group and when someone is hurt or unavailable, it's always up to the next guy to get in there and do what you can, and do good."
Levin has played in 82 career games, with five starts.
"He's a great leader," Titans interim coach Mike McCoy said of Levin, "and he's played a lot of football. So we won't skip a beat."
