Jones not permitted in Titans’ camp

Suspended cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was denied a request Thursday by the NFL to join the Tennessee Titans in training camp.

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell informed the team of the league’s position. The coach said he learned of the decision shortly before a news conference.

“It’s what we have expected throughout the off-season -- that he will not be permitted to participate in training camp, and he will only be permitted to use the facility one day a week for treatment and counseling,” Fisher said.

Odell Thurman’s petition for reinstatement was denied by Goodell, who decided that the Cincinnati Bengals middle linebacker should sit out another season because of his ongoing problems.

Thurman was suspended for all of last season after skipping a drug test and later being arrested for drunk driving.

He asked Goodell to reinstate him for the 2007 season but was turned down.

Running back Curtis Martin retired from the New York Jets. Martin, 34, is the No. 4 rusher in league history.

Running back Marshawn Lynch, the Buffalo Bills’ first-round draft pick, agreed to a five-year contract worth nearly $19 million.

Quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in last April’s NFL draft, remains without a contract and was the most notable no-show when the Raiders reported to training camp.

Tampa Bay released defensive end Simeon Rice. The 12th-year pro, whose 121 career sacks rank second among active players behind Michael Strahan, failed a physical when he reported to camp earlier in the day.

Former Pro Bowl offensive lineman Kyle Turley was among four players to agree to contracts with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Turley agreed to a one-year contract to rejoin the team after being released in March.
