An eight-year veteran who played more than 900 snaps for the Titans last season, defensive end Kamerion Wimbley said he wasn’t expecting to spend almost all of last Sunday on the bench. Wimbley played just six snaps in the Titans’ win over the Chargers, fewer than other reserve defensive ends such as Karl Klug (9) and Keyunta Dawson (9). “Yeah, it was kind of surprising,†said Wimbley, who’s in the second year of a five-year, $35 million contract. “I’d expect to take more than six snaps in a game, but all I can do is go out and practice and then on game day be prepared when my number is called to do my job.†Wimbley has seen his playing time cut way back from last year, as he’s been on the field for just 57 of the team’s 192 defensive snaps (30 percent) this season, posting four tackles and a sack. “Well, it’s unusual,†said Wimbley, who has 49.5 career sacks. “I would definitely like to be out there in the game and be active. But like I say, all I can do is come to practice and work hard and trust the coaches’ decisions on gameday. “I feel like we’ve been able to do some good things defensively, so I’m happy about that. You never know how it will play out as far as our rotation. So I just keep working and don’t really worry too much about it — or try not to worry too much about it.†Source:The Tennessean
