Titans coach Mike Vrabel taking 'callus' approach to avoid injuries (again) during offseason workouts

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- New Tennessee Titans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair noticed the messages on the walls when he walked into the team facility for the first time. One, in particular, stood out.

"They had a sign on the wall that was talking about expectations," Al-Shaair said. "In the expectations, you see conditioning as one of them. You're just like, 'Ah, that looks good.' But, conditioning here, it's real. We're doing a lot."

The conditioning work is being done with an eye on the injury bug that has ravaged the Titans over the past two seasons.
