The Facts:
Britt is in his seventh month of rehab after tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee last season. The fourth-year pro believes the hard part is behind him. "I guarantee I will be back and better than I've ever been before," he said. "With all the work I have been putting in, I will be 110 percent better than before. This has not been a setback if you ask me. The way I see it, it has been a head start for 2012."

Britt
was injured during the Sept. 25 game against the Broncos, had surgery about a week later and was placed on injured reserve. His production in the two-plus games before he went down: 17 catches for 289 yards and three touchdowns. ... So where is Britt in his recovery? Last month, Britt ran for the first time without a knee brace and said he felt good. He was initially supposed to wear the brace for several more months, but he said it's too cumbersome and it slowed him down. He's also been planting and cutting with his right leg, which still isn't quite the same size as his left leg. Something else that was encouraging to Britt - with trainers watching, he had a 25½-inch vertical leap jumping off only his left foot, and a 25-inch vertical jumping off only the right foot. Britt had a 37-inch vertical leap jumping off both feet at the NFL Combine in 2009, a couple of months before the Titans made him their first-round draft pick. ... Britt, who has 101 catches, 1,765 yards and 15 touchdowns in 31 games with the Titans, was also limited by hamstring injuries in his first two seasons. Meanwhile, OC Chris Palmer is counting on Britt returning to form, especially after a season when wideouts Nate Washington, Damian Williams and Lavelle Hawkins emerged in his absence.
