Titans release starting cornerback Cox going into bye week (Yahoo Sports)

The Tennessee Titans are heading into their bye week with a fresh reminder of just how demanding - and brutal - the NFL can be. After climbing to 6-6 and a half-game back of first in the AFC South, Tennessee released starting cornerback Perrish Cox Monday before the Titans left for a week off. ''There's no hidden messages,'' coach Mike Mularkey said of the decision to release Cox.
