Titans

Titans WR Rishard Matthews, who is on the PUP list with a knee injury, says it’s been tough to be away from the team and he’s looking to get back soon.

“I try to lead by example, the way I practice, the way I play, and the way I compete,” Matthews said, via TitansOnline.com. “It’s been tough, because I haven’t been out there.

“I have been away for too long, and missed all of OTAs and training camp for the first time in my career. It is a first for me, but it is a part of the game and I just have to be on top of my things so I’ll know what I am doing when I come back. I’m hoping to be back soon. Real soon.”

As for his new one-year extension, Matthews said he would like to finish out his career in Tennessee.

“It would be nice to finish out my career here,” Matthews said. “I think Jon (Robinson) and Amy (Adams Strunk) and management have done a good job of bringing guys in. It means a lot that they were even willing to go to the table and negotiate things being that I’ve been injured. Just to show that type of commitment and loyalty, it means a lot.

“I enjoy the team, I enjoy the city and I enjoy playing here. Hopefully I can end my career here.”
