"Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson failed to earn his money against the Jaguars, carrying nine times and managing 24 yards in a 16-14 loss.

Coach Mike Munchak said the fourth-year pro, who missed all of the preseason because of a holdout that landed him a $53.5 million contract extension, would get more carries against the Ravens on Sunday at LP Field.

"There is no reason he shouldn't be back to where he needs to be," Munchak said. "There is no reason to believe he shouldn't be able to help us this week."

Munchak said he envisioned 18-20 carries and about 25 touches overall for Johnson, who averaged 19.8 carries per game last season.

After reviewing film of the Jacksonville game, Munchak said some blocks were missed, but Johnson also missed some holes.

Said tackle Michael Roos: "It's tough to pinpoint some of the reasons, but the timing was off.""
