Holmes, whose spectacular catch in the back of the end zone against Arizona won the Super Bowl for Pittsburgh in February 2009, was projected as the Jets' top deep threat when he was acquired. Coach Rex Ryan isn't worried if Holmes will be ready to contribute Monday night against Minnesota.
"Like I say, I don't think he's ready to play," Ryan said with a smile. "I don't think you can even consider defending him. Maybe that's the best way to do it. Then, let him light you up for 200 yards."
Nelson might become an injury exemption on the Buffalo roster after he revealed Monday that he underwent groin surgery four weeks ago.
"I'm excited to back with my brothers on the football field," he said, adding the down time was tormenting. "It's no fun being at home. I was able to be here and be in the meetings, and I could do everything but be at practice and go to the games. It's not fun being at home on Sunday watching those guys compete and I can't be there with them."
McRath worked out Monday and will work again Tuesday with Titans strength coach Steve Watterson. Coach Jeff Fisher plans to work McRath back into practice on special teams and defense. McRath worked with the first-team defense at outside linebacker most of the offseason and much of training camp at that spot before his snaps tapered off before his suspension took effect.
"How much he'll play, I don't know. Understand he may be a little rusty," Fisher said.
