Raiders' RB Dominic Rhodes started and came off the bench effectively as a running back for the Indianapolis Colts. The free-agent acquisition's preference with the Raiders is simple: "I just want to get the ball and make plays," he said Monday following the morning practice at the team's voluntary minicamp.

The Titans' signing of veteran CB Kelly Herndon does not signal a move back to safety for first-round draft pick Michael Griffin, general manager Mike Reinfeldt said Monday. "He's still a cornerback," Reinfeldt said. "He's done a good job so far and we'll continue to look at him there." Griffin is not a recommended IDP player at this point in his career.

"I understand my responsibilities to my teammates, the Titans and my fans and I am committed to turning my life around and being a positive member of the NFL," Jones said in a statement issued by his agent.
