While Albert Haynesworth sits on the sidelines while his agent and the Titans talk, the team is getting a look this week at some young players on the D-line.  Two players that are getting playing time are second-round pick Jason Jones from Eastern Michigan and fifth-round pick Antonio Johnson from Mississippi State, who blew out his knee last season and missed the whole season.  “We’re rotating some of the younger guys in and trying to take advantage of some of these reps in the latter OTAs,” coach Jeff Fisher said. “It’s not padded work, but it’s still snaps. It’s reps, it’s individual time and they’ve both improved.”  So while the team wants to lock up Haynesworth, the team could possibly be in good hands with some of the younger talent ready to make an impact.
