NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A willingness and ability to play through serious pain is one of those things that fascinates me about pro football.
I hate the long-term consequences of much of that stuff, though an ankle bone bruise like Delanie Walker was able to overcome in the Titans' win over Baltimore may not leave any.
Particularly given the way Walker approached the injury.
I presumed the tight end would take a shot to help him deal with the pain.
