White Fights Fellow Titans

Rookie running back LenDale White got into a fight Thursday morning with a teammate at the Tennessee Titans’ training camp in Clarksville, Tenn.

White, the second-round draft choice out of USC, started clashing with the defense on a running play. He was walking back toward the huddle when bumped.

White walked back, and safety Donnie Nickey pushed back at him with his helmet. A recording by a television cameraman picked up linebacker Keith Bulluck yelling that White had spit in Nickey’s face.

A few plays later, White couldn’t catch an outlet pass from Matt Mauck when hit by rookie Cortland Finnegan.

Nickey ran upfield and shoved White in the back. White elbowed Vincent Fuller amid more pushing and shoving. Nickey threw at least one punch before the players were separated.

White walked by reporters as he left the practice saying: “No comment, no comment, no comment.”
