No punishment expected for Titans players

The NFL and the NFL Players Association found instances when the Tennessee Titans failed to wear masks at all times and were “insufficiently clear” to players about not meeting or working out once the facility closed in a review given to the team Monday, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press.

Those issues will be taken into consideration for any potential league discipline of the Titans.

But the person familiar with the review says there was no discussion of any discipline for an individual including general manager Jon Robinson, coach Mike Vrabel or any players, and there was no discussion of punishment, including forfeitures or draft picks.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the NFL, the NFL Players Association nor the Titans have commented on the review.

The Titans had no comment Monday when asked if the team had received the review’s findings. In other team news, left tackle Taylor Lewan will miss the rest of the season because of a torn right ACL.

■ Saints: Running back Ty Montgomery was designated to return from injured reserve. Linebacker Kiko Alonso, who had been on the physically unable to perform list while rehabbing a torn ACL, is returning to practice this week.
