The Tennessee Titans acquired cornerback L’Jarius Sneed through a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs back in March, adding much-needed veteran leadership to the team’s secondary.
But Sneed didn’t practice very much during training camp or other offseason practices. That was a design by Tennessee in an effort to keep an eye on his knees, which have plagued him for over a year.
Still, Sneed says he’s healthy and Brian Callahan said on Wednesday that he is slated to be a full participant in practice going forward.

“He’s practicing, so he’s ready to roll,” Callahan told reporters. “He should be a full participant with no limitations at every practice from now until we play. Part of the plan was to get him to this point. That’s why you didn’t see him in a ton training camp. Most of his work was done at walk-through sessions and jog-through sessions that you guys weren’t at, but he should be ready to roll.”
Sneed had his own comments for reporters as well.

“You know we’re back at it now,” Sneed said. “I’m back out here with the guys, we out here flyin’ around, just ready for next week.”
When asked if he was full practice, Sneed replied, “Yeah, I’m full practice and ready to go.”
Even though he hasn’t practiced much, Sneed has been around the locker room. He’s been at meetings; he’s been involved with the team and is getting to know his teammates. We’ll see in Week 1 if what the Titans have done with Sneed was successful or not.
