Titans hopeful franchise player Haynesworth will be in on time

Fisher said he won't be monitoring Haynesworth's work once he does arrive.

"When he arrives, he's going to hit it running. I expect him to practice and fall right back into the rotation. He's been through it before. He says he's in great shape. ... If we need to back off a little, we will. We don't have any intention of backing off when he shows up," Fisher said.

The Titans will find training camp a little different this year, their 12th since relocating to Tennessee and Fisher's 14th as head coach.

Fisher said he and his coaches looked at the camp schedule and tweaked a variety of things: fewer morning practices, the first two-a-day is five days into camp and a couple sessions starting at noon -- the time the season kicks off against Jacksonville on Sept. 7.

With the addition of lights for one of the three fields at the team's headquarters, Fisher has scheduled one night practice with the possibility for a couple more depending on the heat.

Fisher said he could make the changes in the camp schedule because his team is mature enough and good enough to handle them.

Notes

Two Titans won't be in camp until Sunday. Fisher said linebacker David Thornton will arrive Sunday after being best man at his brother's wedding. Defensive end Jevon Kearse checked in Thursday before returning to South Florida where he will be participating in the funeral for the father of Baltimore cornerback Samari Rolle's father.
