NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans will be without wide receiver Kendall Wright for a couple of weeks as his hamstring injury lingers.While thats bad news for Wright, it opens chances for players on the roster bubble to get extra work at the inside receiver spot until he returns.Wright, the Titans first-round pick in 2012, tweaked his hamstring Aug. 3 and hasnt participated in practice since. With Wright out, veteran Harry Douglas has been getting additional work alongside starters Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe.Douglas started most of last year. But after the acquisitions of Matthews, Sharpe and veteran Andre Johnson, Douglas came to camp needing to stand out to keep his roster spot.Harry comes to work every day like a pro, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. He hasnt even blinked with anything weve done here with the draft, with signing of players. Hes the same Harry. Hes going to come out here and work and make it a tough decision on us when we have to make up the roster.Second-year man Tre McBride, a long shot to make the roster again this season, also is getting extra work as a backup in the slot to Douglas with Wright sidelined.I think whoever is going to be out there, I trust every single one of those guys and their ability to make plays, quarterback Marcus Mariota said. Whoever is out there, Im going to do my best to go through the read and get them the ball.Wright has been moved almost exclusively to the slot receiver position this year. He struggled with injuries a year ago and had a career-low 36 catches.Mularkey lamented the valuable practice reps Wright is missing and said that its not a tear, but its obvious when you look at the MRI that hes got a lot of fluid in that area, and hes probably a couple of weeks from being able to go.Nobody can afford to miss practices right now, Mularkey said. But you have to deal with it. We are, and he is. Hes been really good in the meeting room and been really good with the rehab.While Wrights injury is discouraging, there have been some positive preseason developments involving Titans receivers. Mularkey complimented the performance of Sharpe, a rookie fifth-round draft pick from UMass who has settled in well.He hasnt been intimidated whatsoever by anything, Mularkey said. Everybodys talking about, `When the pads go on, can he beat press? It doesnt shock me that he was capable of beating press. Hes done everything to earn that spot, first of all, and nothing to lose it.NOTE: Mularkey said after Wednesdays practice that reserve safety Josh Aubrey has retired. Aubrey had appeared in one game for the Titans last season. He played six games for Cleveland in 2013 and two games for Houston in 2014.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Erik Gudbranson Jersey .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA.

Clevelands rookie linebacker remains sidelined with a bruised lung, a "freakish" injury the first-round pick believes he sustained nearly a week ago on the opening kickoff of an exhibition against Detroit. Mingo was hospitalized for two days with the injury, which he said caused him to twice spit up blood and gave him shortness of breath before he was taken out of last Thursdays game. Mingo said he has been symptom free since last week, but its still not clear when he was injured. Mingo will not play in Saturdays preseason game at Indianapolis, and its likely he will be kept of the final exhibition against Chicago as well. On Wednesday, Mingo was seen taking a nap while lying across several chairs in the locker room. After he woke up, he told reporters that he has improved, but that doctors still arent allowing him to practice. He reiterated that he does not think the injury occurred before last weeks 24-6 win over the Lions, and said he had never had those symptoms before experiencing them on the sideline. "Everything is feeling good," Mingo said. "Everyone is happy with the progress and now were just waiting to see what the doctors say, so we can get back." Mingo was last seen by doctors and had more tests on Tuesday, but the No. 6 overall pick has not been cleared to practice and hasnt been told when hell be able to return to the field. For the moment, hes only allowed to observe practice, and doctors have discouraged him from doing any running. Mingo was joined on the sideline by starting outside linebacker Jabaal Sheard, who was held out with an unspecified knee injury. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski did not mention Sheard as one of the players who would miss practice when he was asked for a list earlier in the day. During practice, a team spokesman said Sheard is day-to-day. The sight of Mingo and Sheard standing side-by-side on the sideline with towels draped over their heads had to be concerning to the Browns, who are counting on the pair to rush the quarterback. With Sheard out, Quentin Groves worked with Clevelands first-team defence on the opposite side of Paul Kruger. The Browns will wait for Mingos bruise to heal completely before hes allowed back on the fieldd.dddddddddddd Hes promised hell try to be a patient patient. "Im listening to the doctors, listening to the coaches," he said. "Thats all I know." Chudzinski didnt provide much of an update on Mingo. "The timeline nobody really knows exactly," he said. "It is just a matter of how quickly his body heals." Mingo doesnt recall being hit on the opening kickoff last week or remember any significant impact that may have caused his unusual injury. As he waits for medical clearance, Mingo is doing all he can to stay sharp. Hes asking veteran teammates for pointers and offering encouragement as they go through drills without him. He said its not difficult to stay upbeat while watching. "This is what we do as football players," he said. "We listen to our coaches and if they say we want you to run down there and hit that guy on the play, you go down there and hit the guy on the play. If youve got to sit out for a couple weeks or whatever, you sit out and then you come out ready to go." Mingo, who last month signed a four-year, $16.35 million contract with a team option for a fifth year, could only remember missing one game because of injury. He said its weird having to watch. "Thats one thing they (doctors) were talking about," he said. "You feel great but youre not going to be (great), so you might as well rest up." ---- NOTES: DE Brian Sanford was back after his trade to the Seahawks was rescinded when guard John Moffitt failed his physical with the Browns. Sanford flew to Seattle, took a physical and thought he was starting a new NFL chapter when he was told to head back to Cleveland. It was a strange 24 hours. "Experiences like these, you should soak in, because in this league you never know where youre going to be or whats going to happen," he said. "Im just gonna play as hard as I can and hope I can continue my career playing football." ... Chudzinski named Tashaun Gipson the clubs starting free safety alongside T.J. Ward. ... Chudzinski said Clevelands starters will play most of three quarters on Saturday against the Colts, but running back Trent Richardson and others coming off injuries may play less. ... Rookie CB Leon McFadden intercepted two passes during practice. ' ' '
