Titans third receiver Lavelle Hawkins played 54-of-76 snaps in Week 15 compared to 75 for Damian Williams and 68 for Nate Washington. | ||||||
Hawkins' season-highs of eight catches and 88 yards were an aberration due as the Titans played from behind at Indy. Tennessee passed on a whopping 51 of Hawkins' 54 snaps, which won't happen again. Don't bother picking up Hawkins for Week 16. | ||||||

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins confirmed he will play through his finger dislocation. | ||||||

Titans WR Lavelle Hawkins dislocated his index finger in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati. | ||||||
Hawkins conceded that the finger was "numb" after the game, but it's probably not a long-term injury. Of course, it won't help Hawkins' chances of earning a bigger role going forward. Hawkins had his best game of the season against the Bengals, catching a team-high five passes for 63 yards and a touchdown. | ||||||

Lavelle Hawkins caught four passes for 56 yards in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. | ||||||
Hawkins was called into emergency duty with Justin Gage (hamstring) out and Kenny Britt (hamstring) sidelined early in the game. The 2009 fourth-round pick handled himself well. However, Hawkins won't get a chance like this unless the injuries continue to linger for the Titans. | ||||||

Lavelle Hawkins is generating buzz in Titans camp as a slot receiver. | ||||||
Hawkins, a 2009 fourth-round pick that flopped as a rookie, is built to play the slot at 5'11/190. Still, he's not going to see the field much barring injuries. Justin Gage is the slot man when the Titans go three-wide. | ||||||

| Wed Jun 30 2010 | 10:36 | Hawkins continues to draw rave reviews | ||||
Coach Jeff Fisher said that the "light has gone on" for third-year WR Lavelle Hawkins. | ||||||
Hawkins was a fourth-round pick in 2008 that has just 14 career catches in 23 games. He worked in front of Kenny Britt during offseason practices, but that obviously won't continue once Britt gets out of the doghouse. Hawkins will just try to hang on as the fourth receiver and be ready if injury strikes. | ||||||

| Sun May 16 2010 | 09:51 | Hawkins making progress for Titans? | ||||
Titans wide receivers coach Fred Graves said that Lavelle Hawkins has "made a tremendous jump" between last year and this year. | ||||||
Hawkins did manage to catch four balls against the Cardinals in Week 12 last season, but he'll be the fourth receiver at best heading into camp. He's not going to pass Nate Washington, Justin Gage or Kenny Britt no matter how well he plays. | ||||||
