NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Jurrell Casey is the Tennessee Titans' best defensive player.
Yet when the team was in dire need of a sack of Minnesota quarterback Shaun Hill on Sunday, there were plays when Casey was on the sideline.
It's not uncommon for top defensive lines to rotate players as they seek to get maximum production out of fresh linemen.
But it has been uncommon for Casey to come off the field much in his first five seasons in the NFL.
Since the Titans spent a third-round pick on Casey in 2011 he’s played on 74.
