Titans Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Tennessee Titans have done plenty of unexpected things in 2008, namely starting with a 10-0 record.

But one of the more amazing developments has been the Titans‘ ability to survive the loss of Pro Bowl defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch to a groin injury for what amounts to the past five games, without a dramatic drop in production. Unheralded backups Dave Ball and Jacob Ford have seen to that.

But now the Titans could be getting a bonus just in time for the stretch run of the regular season and the playoffs.

Vanden Bosch practiced for the first time in two weeks and appears, barring any setbacks, on track to return to the lineup in time for Sunday’s game with the AFC East-leading New York Jets.

Titans Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

In a 10-0 start, there are plenty of reasons for the Tennessee Titans success thus far this season.

There have been the usual suspects, such as defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, rookie running back Chris Johnson and even the resurgence of journeyman quarterback Kerry Collins that have gotten plenty of headlines.

But the Titans would not be where they are most likely without key contributions from a handful of unknowns, backups and role players, who have stepped into the lineup when called upon and not missed a beat.

When Pro Bowl defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch suffered a groin injury on Oct. 5 at Baltimore, it was expected that the Titans would experience a setback without the emotional leader of the defense.
