    New returner ready: Titans rookie wide receiver Tre McBride will get his first regular-season opportunity to return kicks on Sunday against Oakland.

    McBride, recently activated from the practice squad, played his first NFL game in the Titans’ loss to Jacksonville last week. Mularkey said he likes the speed of McBride, who returned 56 kicks for an average of 23.1 yards at William & Mary.

    “Those are the tough guys to handle,” Mularkey said. “It’s the guys that run fast forward and take the proper angles that are difficult. … If you’re hitting (the angles), that’s a tough guy to try to stop. If we give him a crease, he can go.”

    McBride, a seventh-round draft pick, said he tries to be decisive on his kick returns.

    “(I’m about) speed and one-cutting, which is pretty much the standard you should use when you’re a kick returner,” McBride said. “Hit the seam as quick as you can. That’s how I run the routes and also how I run kick returns”

    McBride said he will also continue to play the gunner role on punt coverage.

    Mularkey said receiver Harry Douglas and cornerback Perrish Cox will both see punt-returning duties in McCluster’s absence.

    Can't screw it up any worse, really. It's more important for him to know WHEN to take it out of the endzone than anything. McCluster was trying to run out every kick.

    Reytard had one in 2012. Must have been the only thing that saved him for so long.
