Injuries, backup challenge kicker Bironas - Nashville, Tennessee - Tuesday, 07/31/07 - Tennessean.com

Rob Bironas has kicked well so far in training camp but isn't at full strength, according to special teams coach Alan Lowry.
"The hardest part for him has been his injury situation, because he's had two surgeries this offseason," Lowry said. "He's had to overcome that and he's really still working his way back into kicking.
"He's not full speed by any means, you can tell with his kickoffs he's not where he hopefully will be when we start the regular season."
One surgery was on a knee. The Titans declined to reveal the other surgery.
John Vaughn, who played at Brentwood Academy and Auburn, is the second kicker in camp, easing the workload for Bironas and showing off a strong leg of his own.
Fisher rated Vaughn the strongest second kicker the team has ever had in camp.
"It's a very competitive situation," Fisher said. "I've been very impressed with what John's been able to do and his leg strength and his accuracy.
"We haven't had this in as long as I can remember, two guys who can consistently put the ball through the uprights from way out. It's going to be interesting to see how it unfolds."
