Wide receiver Kevin Walter is likely to begin the season on the PUP list, coach Mike Munchak said Thursday.
Walter is still recovering from back surgery he underwent in late July, a development that neither the Titans nor Walter thought would be necessary.
“It looked like he was actually getting better and it didn’t get better, and then he obviously went and had surgery,” Munchak said. “… Until he starts running around, which he’s not doing, it’s hard to tell when he’ll be healthy.”
The 32-year-old Walter, a 10-year veteran, said he’s seeing gradual progress.
“We just have to get the nerve in my back to settle down,” he said. “So I’ll keep plugging away and doing what the trainers want. But it’s feeling better now than it did a few days ago. I’m seeing improvement, which is exciting.”
