Tennessee cornerback L'Jarius Sneed says the plan is for him to be ready for the Titans' season opener Sept. 7 at Denver, and he's “very confident” that will happen. "It’s a process," Sneed said Wednesday.

Sneed passed his physical and is cleared to return to practice. It's been a long process for the sixth-year defensive back who injured his quad last season during a Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The injury, initially diagnosed as a bruise, was later found to be a strain and required more rest than initially anticipated.

They are the words that Tennessee Titans fans hoped to hear for weeks now. L'Jarius Sneed is back. On Wednesday, the Titans activated their top cornerback from the PUP list after passing a physical, and he will return to practice.
