NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Quinton Spain has a much different pedigree than the other Titans linemen.Spain is an undrafted second-year pro from West Virginia trying to maintain his status as the Tennessee Titans first-team left guard. Spain started the final six games for the Titans last season and has been running with the first-team line in camp.Contrast that with the Titans other four projected starting linemen. Tennessees line includes two first-round picks at the tackle spots in Taylor Lewan (2014) and Jack Conklin (2016), a first-rounder at right guard in Chance Warmack (2013) and a coveted free-agent acquisition at center in Ben Jones.Spain is doing all he can to maintain his role as a starter.I felt like Ive done pretty good, Spain said. Ive just got to keep moving forward and keep battling for the spot.In assessing Spains play through the first week of training camp, Titans coach Mike Mularkey offered some praise while also stressing Spains need for improvement.Hes been a little bit hot-and-cold, Mularkey said. More hot than cold, but when hes had his mistakes, theyve been pretty significant. I mean, they stand out. Not getting out on some screens, not covering up guys today.Again, he was an undrafted free agent last year that -- hes held his own, but the more he gets, the better hes going to get, as well. Hes still in a competition at that left guard position.Spains primary competition should come from former starting center Brian Schwenke, Jeremiah Poutasi and rookie sixth-round pick Sebastian Tretola. The competition to determine the starting offensive line begins in earnest in the next couple of days.The Titans have intentionally stuck with the same starters up to this point because they were still putting in offensive installations.That process is near an end, allowing offensive line coach Russ Grimm to start playing a form of musical chairs to determine the eventual starters.Were going to start rolling some people in there, Grimm said. I tell people all the time were not playing a game for real yet. So there are no set starters. So when you come out and you start stepping through stuff, you kind of keep guys at the same spot till we get the whole offense.As of tomorrow, the whole offense is going to be in, so now youre going to see guys that know the assignment so they can flip from one side to the other.I dont want to flip them too early because they start getting confused and stuff like that. Once they learn the offense and now that weve got it all in, then were going to start shuffling some people around to see what weve got.As for how things fall, Spain isnt fretting the competition.Ive just got to play my game, and whatever happens, happens, Spain said. If playing my game is not enough, I cant look back and say I didnt give it my all.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLPhiladelphia Phillies Gear .

On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators.HAMILTON, Ont. -- The Hamilton Tiger-Cats opened training camp Sunday without Chris Williams. The CFLs top special-teams player last season was absent when the Ticats took to the field at McMaster University for workouts. As a result, the Ticats put Williams on the suspended list. "Hes got a valid contract and he should be here performing," Kent Austin, the Ticats head coach, GM and director of football operations, told reporters. "If he doesnt want to perform and be here, then he gets suspended without pay." Williams scored a club-record 17 touchdowns last season -- including a CFL-record six on returns -- and was named the leagues outstanding special-teams player. Williams is embroiled in a bitter dispute with the Ticats regarding the final year of his CFL contract and has gone to arbitration in order to be released from the deal so he could try out souuth of the border.dddddddddddd An arbitrator has yet to rule on the issue although theres talk Williams is unlikely to report to Hamilton even if he loses his case and could sit out the entire season and pursue NFL offers in 2014. Austin said the Ticats have attempted to contact both Williams and his agent, Dan Vertlieb, but to no avail. "Im disappointed," Austin said. "I understand both sides to some degree but at the end of the day there has not been a ruling and I expect our players to honour their contract. "In this particular case, that wasnt done." Austin said should Williams wish to return to the Ticats, the door would remain open for that to happen. However, Austin would also want the chance to have an in-depth talk with the player. "Id have to see exactly where his head is at and where his heart is," Austin said. ' ' '
