Titans' RB White strains hip, Brown to step in if needed

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans rookie running back LenDale White sat out Thursdays practice because of a strained hip, but said he should be back on the practice field Friday.

White, a second-round pick from Southern California, suffered a strained hip muscle in Wednesdays practice, but returned to finish the workout.

"It's all right. It's just a little bit sore. I'll be out there tomorrow. It's strained a little bit, but I don't really feel like it's anything that will keep me out," White said. "Hopefully, I'll be able to run around a little bit tomorrow to get it stretched out and I'll be ready for Sunday."

The Titans (4-7) host Indianapolis (10-1) on Sunday.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher was a bit more cautious in whether White would practice on Friday.

"We'll have to see how he is tomorrow," Fisher said. "He got through yesterday's practice. We pulled him out in the middle. Then he told us he was a little tight. If LenDale is not able to go then, yes, Chris (Brown) will step up and he'll definitely get his carries."

White has 189 yards rushing on 49 carries while backing up starter Travis Henry. Brown, a former starter, has been inactive for the past five games.
