Top pick in Titans camp, placed on active PUP

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans’ top draft pick is in training camp, but a sore hamstring has landed wide receiver Kenny Britt on the physically unable to perform list.

Britt reached agreed Saturday night on a five-year deal worth a little more than $12 million. He was just 10 miles away, so he was in camp Sunday.

But team officials checking out the former Rutgers receiver found the hamstring wasn’t completely healed. So Britt walked out for his first practice with a slight limp and watched as his teammates worked without him.

Coach Jeff Fisher said he isn’t sure how long Britt stays on the list and that it could be up to a week. That should keep Britt out of the Titans’ preseason opener Aug. 9 in the Hall of Fame game against Buffalo.
