Brandon Barden - TE - Titans

Titans TE Brandon Barden's DUI charges have been dismissed.

The arresting officer failed to appear in court, meaning the case is now completely closed. Barden will try to crack the active roster this season after spending most of last year on the practice squad.

Colin McCarthy - LB - Titans

Titans MLB Colin McCarthy (ankle) says he is at about "80 percent."

McCarthy's 2012 season was marred by a Week 1 ankle injury and a Week 12 concussion. It resulted in him only playing seven games and registering 38 tackles. He expects to be 100 percent for training camp. McCarthy won't be handed the starting job, but there's no reason why he shouldn't win it if healthy.

Jake Locker - QB - Titans

Jake Locker reiterated Tuesday that his surgically-repaired shoulder feels "normal."

"I don't know a whole lot about it as far as if it's supposed to be better or stronger, but I can tell you it feels better and just the same as it did before I got hurt," Locker said. "I haven't had any problems with it. I haven't had any moments with it where, I'm like, 'Aw, man, I can feel that,' or 'it slipped a little bit.' It feels great. It feels normal and I'm excited about that." Locker isn't gushing the way a healed athlete usually does, but it doesn't appear there's any reason for concern. Locker still hasn't been cleared for contact, but is expected to be before camp.

Delanie Walker - TE - Titans

According to the National Football Post's Dan Pompei, the Titans believe they can "get more out of Delanie Walker than they did Jared Cook."

Yikes. Per Pompei, the Titans plan to play Walker "for more snaps than they played Cook." That's not far-fetched since Walker is a far superior blocker, but stone-handed, he's half the receiver. Nevertheless, the Titans believe Walker can split out wide and "(create) mismatches." That's hard to do for a 6-foot-0 tight end. The Titans have been overly optimistic bordering on aimless with their offseason moves. A reckoning could be coming in 2014.

Moise Fokou - LB - Titans

Titans LB Moise Fokou was reportedly arrested in January for driving under the influence of alcohol.

It's unclear if the Titans knew of Fokou's arrest when they signed him to a two-year, $2.8 million deal in March. Fokou was formally charged on February 4, and the news came to light recently only because he entered a not guilty plea. The case will go to trial on October 22. An NFL suspension seems unlikely. Fokou maintains his innocence and has never been arrested in the NFL before.

Kendall Wright - WR - Titans

Kendall Wright has dropped 14 pounds this offseason after playing near 201 as a rookie.

Wright is listed at 196. "I just started taking care of my body and eating right," Wright said. 201 pounds is a bit bulky for a 5-foot-10 receiver, but 187 is about right. The weight Wright plays at this season shouldn't be a perceptible factor in his production. He'll likely tip the scales somewhere in the 190s. Wright is expected to be a "significant" part of the Titans' game-plan after posting a lukewarm 64/626/4 line last season.

Karl Klug - DL - Titans

The Nashville Tennessean suggests DT Karl Klug may be on the roster bubble in training camp.

A seven-sack revelation as a 2011 rookie, Klug managed 3.5 sacks in 2012 and earned just 22 percent of Tennessee's defensive snaps. Adding Sammie Lee Hill and Antonio Johnson this offseason, the Titans are trying to get bigger up front. At 6-foot-3, 275, Klug is the club's smallest interior defensive lineman.

Greg Jones - LB - Titans

Titans signed LB Greg Jones, formerly of the Jaguars.

The 2011 sixth-rounder was waived nine days ago. Jones appeared in just six games last season, notching four tackles. He's a camp body.

Jake Locker - QB - Titans

Jake Locker said his surgically repaired shoulder feels "normal."

Locker isn't taking contact right now, but will "definitely" do so come Day 1 of training camp in late July. The shoulder won't be an excuse as he heads into a make-or-break campaign. The Titans have upgraded their offensive line and have more than enough playmakers at the skill spots. It's on Locker to settle down in the pocket and improve his wayward accuracy.

Antonio Johnson - DL - Titans

Titans signed DT Antonio Johnson and waived/failed physical LB Tom Wort.

Wort was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma. Johnson, who signed a one-year deal, started 13 games for the division rival Colts last season, making 26 tackles without a sack. He was Pro Football Focus' 80th-rated defensive tackle out of 85, particularly struggling in run defense.

Shonn Greene - RB - Titans

According to the National Football Post's Dan Pompei, the Titans plan to use Shonn Greene the way they used LenDale White five years ago.

In Chris Johnson's rookie year of 2008, White handled all of the short-yardage and goal-line work. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound White rushed for 773 yards and 15 touchdowns on 200 carries, while Johnson carried it 251 times for 1,228 yards and nine scores. We can't expect Greene to post nearly the numbers White did, but somewhere close to half those totals wouldn't be out of the question.

Justin Hunter - WR - Titans

The Titans are telling second-round pick Justin Hunter to gain seven pounds to get over 200 by the start of training camp.

Hunter blazed a 4.44 forty time at the Combine, but did so at a weak-looking 196 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame. He's playing Z receiver in Tennessee, which is a position that requires at least some physicality. We're skeptical Hunter will have any rookie fantasy value with Jake Locker at quarterback this season.

Jason McCourty - DB - Titans

Titans LCB Jason McCourty expects to play more press coverage in 2013.

"We’ll have a little bit more of an aggressive mentality," McCourty said. "I think part of that for us as cornerbacks will be getting up at the line of scrimmage and pressing, getting our hands on the wide receivers." The Titans got throttled underneath last season, while press coverage is one of de-facto DC Gregg Williams' hallmarks. McCourty graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 6 cornerback in 2012, but the Titans allowed a franchise-record 471 points. Enemy quarterbacks completed 66.3 percent of their passes.

Jalen Parmele - RB - Titans

Titans agreed to terms with RB Jalen Parmele, formerly of the Jaguars.

He's replacing Jamie Harper, who was waived on Wednesday. Per the Nashville Tennessean's John Glennon, the Titans view Parmele as a better receiver and special teamer than Harper, who was used as a battering ram brute in the running game. Parmele averaged just 3.6 yards on his 40 carries last season, but the depth chart is wide open behind Chris Johnson and Shonn Greene.

Delanie Walker - TE - Titans

According to Pro Football Focus, Delanie Walker dropped nine of 30 catchable balls last season.

"It's not his hands as much as it is the concentration," OC Dowell Loggains said. "He's got great speed and he's been trying to run before he catches the ball. So it's just about looking the ball in, and I think that (TEs coach) George Henshaw has done a great job with him on concentrating on that aspect of the game." Walker has high hopes for himself as the Titans' clear-cut No. 1 tight end, but he's not a natural pass-catcher and is third or fourth on the target totem pole.
