The Nashville Tennessean reports Titans RB Bishop Sankey has waited patiently for his chance. This Sunday against the Jaguars, the rookie should get plenty of work. Veteran RB Shonn Greene (hamstring) is doubtful.
Sankey, a second-round pick, said he's ready for a bigger workload along with RB Dexter McCluster and RB Leon Washington. "I am looking forward to as many carries as they want me to have,'' Sankey said. "Depending on Shonn's situation, me, Dex and Leon are going to have to pick up some of the slack. I think we are capable of doing that, and I know everyone is excited."
Sankey has 150 yards and one touchdown on 32 carries. Last week against the Browns, he gained 27 yards on eight carries. He had his best game against the Bengals on Sept. 21, when he tallied 61 yards on 10 carries.
"I am feeling a lot more comfortable with pass protection, and really just being more confident doing my job,'' Sankey said. "I am just going out there trying to move the chains, protecting the quarterback and securing the ball. I am feeling good, though."
