Jake Locker continues to impress at Titans minicamp

Titans quarterback Jake Locker isn't all the way back from his foot injury, but he has made great strides this offseason.

The fourth-year pro took part in all 10 organized team activities, and was on the field again on Tuesday for the start of the three-day minicamp at Saint Thomas Sports Park.

Locker, who had Lisfranc surgery in November, said he expected to be back early. But he has clearly exceeded expectations.

"I am where I thought I would be and I am just going to continue to try and get better,'' Locker said. "I feel really good, and I want to continue to build on that."

The Titans begin training camp on July 26. Locker should be even better physically by then, but mentally he should be way ahead of the game. He said he's up to speed in the new offense, and has a good chemistry with his receivers.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt has been been impressed with Locker's work ethic and approach with teammates.

"Jake works hard," the coach said. "He's done a great job as far as studying the offense and understanding his reads. He's really done a good job with a lot of the little things – his footwork, his techniques. We've seen a lot of improvement there and that's really exciting to see. … The team really rallies around him, and that is an important quality to have."
