CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans released running back Damien Nash on Monday morning, finally losing patience with their fifth-round draft pick of 2005.
Nash reported to training camp expecting to compete with a large crop of running backs: Chris Brown, Travis Henry, rookie draft pick LenDale White and Jarrett Payton.
But Titans coaches said he was out of shape and about 10 pounds over the weight they required for camp.
Coach Jeff Fisher had Nash working with the training staff, but it was too little, too late for the running back out of Missouri.
"Damien came in and he had some difficulty just getting it," Fisher said. "He was doing well in May, then kind of tailspinned out and was in no kind of shape and was overweight. To me, I want guys that are committed to what we're doing."
Nash played in three games as a rookie and carried six times for 32 yards.
Hmmm...think he'll stick around long? :huh:
From RMN:
Receiver Rashaun Woods, claimed off waivers Wednesday, failed his physical after a magnetic resonance imaging exam revealed a hamstring pull. It's unlikely the Broncos will bring back the former No. 1 pick because he needs time to heal and there isn't a roster spot available. The team instead signed running back Damien Nash to fill the void created by the release of running back Marty Johnson. Nash was a fifth-round pick of the Tennessee Titans last season who played college ball with Missouri
