Walker’s biggest challenge

Titans tight end Delanie Walker participated in his first training-camp practice on Monday.

Now it’s time to play catch-up for Walker, who has missed the first two preseason games while recovering from knee surgery.

“The ability to go in and know the plays is easy,” said Walker, who was taken off the PUP list. “But conditioning wise and getting in football shape, I think that’s going to be the hardest process. So I basically have 10 days to get in football shape. Knowing myself, I go 110 percent every play, so I don’t think it will take too long.”

Walker took part only in individual drills and seven-on-seven drills on Monday, with Titans coach Mike Munchak saying he hopes to include Walker in team drills on Tuesday.

“It’s going to be like a ladder every day, take it step by step until I get to my highest point,” Walker said. “I feel comfortable going every play and actually getting in there for some running plays.”

Walker said he wants to play in the team’s final preseason contest against Minnesota.

“You want to get that feel of the game,” Walker said. “You don’t ever want to go into the season not being tackled, especially coming off an injury. So if my leg is comfortable and I feel comfortable going, Minnesota is a game I’d like to play in.”
