Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was involved in both the rushing and passing game plan in the team's Week 3 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, rushing three times for 11 yards and catching three passes for 20 yards.

Derrick Henry Ineffective In Loss To Steelers
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was held in check against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, managing only 12 yards on five carries.

Titans Need To Get Corey Davis Going Saturday

Delanie Walker Not Playing Versus Steelers

Marcus Mariota Expected To Play About A Half

The most basic aspects of football are blocking and tackling.
