"Sunday's game against Tampa Bay will actually mark the second time Albert Haynesworth has returned to Nashville as an opponent, but the Titans expect to see much more of the veteran defensive tackle this time around.

When he played at LP Field last year with the Redskins, Haynesworth was already deep in Coach Mike Shanahan's doghouse. He didn't see a lot of action against the Titans and was cut later in the season.

Titans guard Jake Scott said he's seen an improved Haynesworth while watching film of Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers claimed him off waivers from New England a couple of weeks ago.

"He looks like he's playing better than he did in Washington," Scott said. "I didn't see film of him in New England (where Haynesworth spent six games this season), but he looks pretty solid now. It looks like he's playing pretty well.""
