McNair returns to practice

Titans Quarterback Steve McNair returned to the practice field Wednesday for the first time in two weeks.

''The biggest thing was the rest and not making the trip to Arizona helped (my back) settle down,'' McNair said. ''It felt good today so hopefully it will continue to do that.''

 

McNair did not play at Arizona Sunday and he said he watched the game from his couch. He said back problems are part of his life, but he hopes this episode has ended.

 

''It comes and goes,'' McNair said. ''I feel good and I'm just going to continue to rehab and feel good.''

 

McNair said he expects to play with no problem Sunday.

 

Wide receiver Drew Bennett ran routes Wednesday to help the defense prepare for the Raiders. He will not play this weekend against Oakland.
